I need friends that will tell me stop eating jelly beans!

I have only been at this for 10 days. I love this site and I did really good for my first week. However, I need friends that will really hold me accountable and I will do the same for you. Look at my food diary and tell me to stop eating jelly beans and other junk. Even though I do not go over my calories, I still feel like maybe I am not eating healthy enough. My first goal is 50# (probably needs to be about 80#). I am in this to the end!! Anyone interested?

    Feel free to add me !! have you tried portioning out your jellybeans ahead of time ? i did that with peanut M&M's into snack size zippies and it helps with the portion distortion !!! feel free to add me !!!

    I would be a bad friend because jellybeans are my weakness....like bad!! Oh and ice cream...I see no harm in eating a 1/2 serving of jellybeans throughout the day or a 1/2 cup of ice cream!! :) However, I have learned that certain things will stop my hand from reaching the jellybean bag....like....making my husband eat them!! :)

    Feel free to add me but I have to confess, I LOVE JELLY BEANS! lol. My sister bought me a bag of mixed and a bag on black. I ate all but 1/4 of both bags in like 3 days. I had to give the rest away. I can live on jelly beans. It should be a food group. lol

    Why would you want someone to tell you to quit eating jelly beans? Those are the second best gelified organs, bones and skin around. Gummy bears are the first!

    I love jelly beans, gummi bears, etc. as well. What has really helped me is just logging. I do still eat them, but it makes me less likely to spend my calories on too many of them. The further I got into my weight loss journey, the more discipline I have and the easier it gets, too.

    Think of every jelly bean as one more dimple of cellulite.

    I'll be your friend! I agree, portion them out-- if you have a lot of leftovers from Easter, toss most of it :)
    Don't beat yourself up over some jellybeans, you're just starting and you'll get there :)

    I had a serious jelly bean issue over Easter. Whatever you do, don't try the starburst ones.....you will down an entire bag in one sitting....Sending a friend request your way.....

    Feel free to add me. I like to think I am supportive but will have no problem calling you out if you aren't being successful. That said.....If you hit your calorie goals and are under your macros, jelly beans aren't going to hurt you.

    If you eat a jellybean in the dark and no one sees you does that mean you don't have to count it? :happy:

    No Jelly Beans for you!! I also need encouragement in general. I love to eat out and never pick the right foods. For instance, for my office lunch I just went to Dunkin Donuts and gobbled up a cherry blossom donut!!! Add me :smile:

    Jelly Belly's are about 140 calories for 35. So, you have to ask yourself if you are willing to use 140 calories on Jelly Beans. If I were you, I'd save them as a reward for reaching a goal. You will probably find that you don't miss them once you realize the other things you could substitute for those 140 calories.

    Slowly back away from the Jelly Beans. Do not eat them. Do not look at them. They do not exist. When you see them you no longer want to eat them, you want to go for a walk. Walk, walk far away from the Jelly Beans. :bigsmile:

    Pass them to me, I'll make the sacrifice and eat your dimples of cellulite for you.
