Will Power = zero....

I have the same problem. I have not eaten any processed sweets since Monday. And that is a BIG deal to me. In my case I have to take it one craving at a time. And I find that if I can resist the sweets, the next day I feel so proud of myself I don't want to give in. I know its hard, but you can do it! One craving at a time...

Try logging your food BEFORE you eat it....It has worked for me a couple times as I like to eat and will not give up a good meal for 2 or 4 cookies. Good luck.

Sometimes I don't either. I have found for myself, that I have increased my protein, which has curbed my sweet tooth, and my sweet tooth is huge!
I also save one day a week that I eat what I want, it's my cheat day.
There are other ways that you can get that "sugar" you are craving, but not obtaining it by eating cookies.
You could try some dark chocolate, that usually does it for me, and dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants.
Good luck!

I find that I am more sucessful when I don't keep sweets or ingredients to make cookies etc in my house. However, I love chocolate and for some reason am satisfied most times in just eating a fun size bar. Overeating for me with a 1230 calorie allowance is a real problem I face every day. I have good days and bad days. Just get back on track and you will feel better. Also, if you are not motivated to exercise go for a walk.

That happens to me sometimes too, (the cookie issue). Don't be too hard on yourself at least you don't buy them and keep them at the house, that would be very tempting, lol. I think as far as your motivation goes you should either before work or after work change and put on your workout clothes and go outside and take a walk. This works for me when Im not in the mood to exercise once I get dressed for it and go outside then things start to feel more like I could do it. You have to push yourself because you can physically do it, the only thing stopping you is you! Keep moving forward and do not dwell on the past! You can achieve anything you put your mind to! I hope this helps

I've had a pretty rubbish week this week, over my calorie allowance every day - by almost 1000 one day... I can make lots of excuses, but even at the time I knew what I was doing and that I shouldn't be eating all this chocolate since it wouldn't actually help anything. Two days ago I decided I was going to call it quits, not log the evening's food at all, and just start again the next day. Then I found myself logging it all, just because. Seeing those numbers, and knowing what they meant in terms of my weight gave me the kick I needed to pick myself up the next day. That day went OK - not perfect, but still a good deficit. Today is OK too, so far.

Now, when temptation's there - like the plate of chocolate coated biscuits in the office kitchen, knowing the calorie count helps me decide if it's really worth it. It's still hard to walk past, but I can do it... And resisting once makes me stronger the next time, too.

Good luck finding your willpower again

Make/buy small portions. Bake 1/4 of the cookie recipe. Don't deprive yourself entirely, because it's easier to end up binge eating.

Definitely time to get rid of the excuse that you have no will power. I used it for years. I finally just gave up and convinced myself I was destined to be fat because I had no will power.

It's drive. It's determination. It's the WANT to succeed. You've got to want it SO badly that you drive right over that excuse of having no will power and grab it by the horns! You will not lose weight and be successful until you really, really want it. It took me a while to finally find that determination, and I've never been so dead set on accomplishing anything in my entire life as I am my weight loss!!! You need to tell yourself that you CAN do this. Don't give up everything that you love. That's not the answer and will most likely cause you to binge even more. The key is to make this your new lifestyle. It is not reasonable to never eat anything bad ever again. You're always going to run into a situation where you're going to make unhealthy choices. It's OK. The key is moderation. I am not deprived of anything that i love, I just simply eat less of it and I eat it less often.

Change your mind set. Tell yourself you CAN and WILL accomplish a weight loss goal. It down right sucks in the beginning, it's tough, it's frustrating, but you have to believe that you can do it. I started by emptying my house of anything remotely unhealthy. If it's not around me I'm OK. Don't keep stuff in the house that will allow you to make cookies. Instead, find healthy snack alternatives that will curb that sweet tooth when it shows its ugly face!!!!

You've gotta want it!!!!

Another thing I have done is bought some Chocolate whey protein and made a protein shake for snacks. Takes care of givving me feeling hungry and helps with the sweet tooth.

Also, I read something, years ago, that if you brush your teeth every couple of hours you have a tendency to eat less because you subconsciously do not want that fresh feeling to go away.

I had some too and been meaning to buy more b/c I ran out but I did notice that when I drank one a day it helped curb my cravings dramatically!

I LOVE the chocolate GNC whey protein isolate 60 ...yummy!
