I'm hoping this picture works!
Does someone want to do this with me? I know there's something to be said for not depriving yourself of things in moderation, but honestly I just don't have the self-discipline to only have 1 cookie or only have a few chips. I want to try cutting those things out completely and see if that is more effective. I'd love to have someone do this with me; we could keep each other accountable. Anyone interested? It's only for 21 days, which is how long it's supposed to take to make something a habit.

    Would almond butter count as a "naughty spread"? I mean, I need something to put on waffles... Because I could so do this for 21 days. When would we start? Sunday? And would all dessert be out, or only ones with refined junk in them? Just trying to clarify so I would know how to adjust my diet.

    Junk food meaning sweets, like cookies, cake, ice cream, donuts, etc. and savory junk food like chips, crackers, fast food, etc.? I'm up for the challenge. I need to break my addiction - can't eat just one of most sweets, chips, etc.... I, too, think it would help to commit to a period of abstinence.

    Hah. Unless we're counting falafel as junk food I already do that every day.
    I prefer to drink my empty calories ;)

    No way. Seems like the best recipe for binging.

    What's wrong with peanut butter? As long as you eat it in moderation it has health benefits:)

    I love peanut butter, but I end up eating A LOT in one go so it's better for me to just avoid it I'm afraid :blushing:
