Weaknesses....

So one of my major weaknesses is carbs, I know I'm not alone with that, and for the most part I have it under control, I'll measure out a serving of pasta and only cook that much or I'll ignore the pizza cravings.... EXCEPT.... When one of the managers bring in bagels, before I started MFP I would've been all over them and not even thought about it.... But this time, I looked up how many calories one of the bagels is, it's 300calories without cream cheese... I know it's not worth the caloroes, but they're right behind me and I'm trying to ignore the "come eat me, one isn't going to kill you" ugh :/

    Looked at your diary. Yesterday you had 282 cals left over and the day before that it was 672. I think you deserve it :)

    Life's too short to deprive yourself of the foods you love.

    It's easy enough to do when your in the weight loss phase but you will eat bagels again my friend! ; ) x

    How about 1/2 a bagel?

    I ended up scooping out the inside of the bagel and measures the cream cheese

    This is a reasonable idea, especially if you plan for it and log it. On the other hand, it isn't a good idea if it is a trigger food.:wink:

    That's part of the problem for me, I've really tried to cut out pasta, pizza and bagels or making sure I measure and say that's it... There was a point within the past year where I was eating bagels and English muffins for breakfast and sandwiches on a baguette every day, but I've managed to cut back a lot given its a slippery slope for me , and even this time I scooped out the middle, so it wasn't AS BAD :/

    Repeat after me: Carbs are not evil.
    Sometimes the things we love to eat ARE worth the calories, we just have to work a little harder to fit in the day.

    You can easily fit a bagel in your calories honestly. I've done it. And they actually fill me up pretty well, all things considered.

    I know, that's why I try to fit in one carbs at dinner, given I don't have that many and I know our bady needs them, the issue is more of I tend to go overboard unless I use a lot of self control
