I've tried to stop eating it, because it really doesn't help me lose weight, it's always around the house, I still live with my big family, I can't control what we eat, sometimes it's the only basic food that we have.
I stopped eating white rise, I don't even like it anymore, I had this happen to me with toast but I can't remember how I relapsed! lol the problem with it, that it increases my appetite, and all I want is to eat, and I forget all the habits I've learned.
can my will get so strong that I stop eating it? any word of advice is appreciated.

Have a slice once a day make sure to measure out and put the best butter and jam on there.0

Well, the first thing you could do would be to look at the ingredients. They're pretty much poison :P If not poison, at least unnecessary. You feel hungry after eating them because they spike your blood sugar (if I remember correctly) and then you crash, making you crave the white carbohydrates even more. It's a vicious cycle. Try buying a loaf of whole wheat bread for yourself (be careful- a lot of whole grain breads are rip offs) or try something else (like a few raisins). I usually grab a strawberry when I'm feeling hungry/bored and just want something to eat, and it really works. Also try filling yourself so full of water you don't even want any food.
PS: If you choose a few raisins, I have a technique : Roll the raisin around in your fingers and soften it before you eat it. If you have even 5 raisins, this rolling and moving around will not only make you forget your craving, but satisfy you more. No, I have no scientific evidence of this, just my own experience! :laugh:
I've had to overcome my family constantly having cheesey breads, baked goods, flaky pastries, and other food around me all the time. It's hard, and sometimes I still find my fingers straying in for just a taste. But thats the thing : It's a taste. Maybe just have 1 piece of toast around and only allow yourself to snack on it? One bite WILL satisfy you.
Best of luck!0 -

Start by buying a loaf of this brand of bread. Its so good and its healthy for you. Silver hills bread. I used to have an addiction to White bread as well but once I got into Silver hills there has been no going back..

Step one: Realize you have a problem. CHECK!
Step two: Do something about it...

With willpower - simply ignore it.0 -
try swapping it, I have gone from white break to best of both now onto wholemeal, i know too much bread is bad but like with most things it is more down to how much of something you eat not just waht you eat.0

Which do you want more? White toast or achieving your goal? Only you can know this.0 -
try Rye bread or Italian instead. Really that has nothing to do with anything, just that they taste better.
If you can work it into your calorie and macro goals, its not a problem. Just make it work for you.
If you can't deal with it, then pour windex on it.0 -

ask your family to switch to whole grain toast?0

Willpower. Buy yourself something else to eat for breakfast. Or work it into your daily calories because you like it and don't want to give it up.0

Here's what worked for me.. it may be helpful to you.
Cut it into 16 tiny squares. Eat each square, one at a time. Chew it completely. Be mindful of the taste and texture . When I did this, it simply tasted like I was swallowing glue. That was the end of me and white bread. I transitioned to one slice of whole grain toast from there and only had a piece when I enjoy a poached egg (rarely). It is very, very rare that I eat a sandwich now.. and honestly, I don't really enjoy them .0 -

WRONG!
You maybe can't stop your Mum (or whoever) buying it; and you can't control what the rest of your family eat. But you sure as hell have control over what goes in your mouth.
Also, I doubt white toast is always around. The bread might be, but you are the one putting it in the toaster, I'm sure.
If moving out isn't an option, how about buying your own food? Buy some healthy snacks and keep them in your room if necessary. Or talk to the food buyer in the family and ask for alternatives.
If all that fails, smother it in peanut butter so at least you are getting some protein with the bread, and just fit it into your macros for the day.0 -
