Need advice!

Cravings are caused by sugary sweets & of course that prompts you to eat more sweets. I've found that the best thing to do is ween yourself off the sweets rather than just trying to stop. I've got to the point I can have 1 small square of 72% dark chocolate whenever that craving happens, which is usually once a week or every couple of weeks. And the dark is good for you too!:bigsmile:

Hey I like what megedoug said "willpower is a muscle"!!
Sure I too have slipped up and don't we just feel like garbage when we do. But we are human and we make mistakes.Someone said it's never to late to retry unless you give up. I liked what she said.
Never heard of this willpower muscle. This is good! So Practice and retry again tomorrow.
When we see what we did wrong we are less likely to do it again very soon.
I also read on this site somewhere that if you write down what you eat BEFORE you eat it. That it helps you stay in control of what goes in your mouth. I think this has been helping me this week. I write down my meals, take a walk or get some sort of excerise and come back. Often just getting away from the kitchen/food works for me.
The comment about carrots also works for me. I did Weight Watchers years ago. They told me to eat carrots when I was hungry...it worked. The problem was I didn't learn to portion my foods Nor did I learn that once you quit you slowly go back to your old ways. I'm learning still and this has to be a life choice with a decision to stick with your meal size from now on. Tell yourself you will do better and try again. Practice this 'will power muscle'. I'm going to do this also, you are not alone.
Hope you get to feeling better.
