The "Resist Temptation" Group

Me! I'm such a me too iguana, I want to eat whatever my coworkers are eating, even when my food tastes better! I've gotten better about it but gluten has become my worst enemy and it is always a struggle to resist it. It would be great if someone would pat me on the head every time I did. I was thinking about making a ticker counting my gluten free days instead of my weight

My lovely Mimi!!

I'm exactly the same!!!
I've been on a biscuit and cookie mission since before TOM ( nearly 2 weeks ago now), that was my excuse, but with that over I still find the cookie jar impossible to resist!! And One is NEVER enough!!
I too have uttered the words - NO MORE BISCUITS!!
But it seems to last a few weeks and then I think ''oh I can just have one''

I know for an absolute fact that if I had a medical reason for giving them up I could and I wouldn't even miss them after 6 wks (because I had to give them up for years when I thought I had milk issues - chocolate too) but I still can not get my head round giving them up through choice alone.

I have used every single will power trick I know and resisted them periodically but they always seem to be NEEDED before TOM and then that messes me up for weeks - once I've tasted them I have to have more.

I think for me the answer would be for me to consider that my goal is not achievable without giving them up and for me to fool myself to believing that I can not eat them for medical reasons.

My 5 year old little boy simply loves biscuits and cookies and chocolates and I don't think it's far to banish them from our house to help my dieting, he's healthy and has them only as a treat so I do need to be able to put up with them being around but must find a way to resist more often!!

All help and advice welcomed!!! lol

Love you MIMI xxxxxxx

I need to do this with you.
I can not leave the cookie jar alone, I MUST move it to a cupboard so it's not on view when I make a coffee or tea and I too must put a sticker on it saying '' JACK'S COOKIES'' '' Mel not allowed these!!''

My biggest problem is when I'm tired, I feel I need the energy that I think I get from them. (like today)
After my last detox I made new rules to help maintain all weight lost- no chocolate, no biscuits (except these very low cal and high fibre ginger biscuits and then only 1-2 a day) and no cakes and no sauce on ice cream - these are my weaknesses and trigger me to overeat these items.... It lasted quite well until my TOM was due. Then that messed me up for a week or more.

I need to set some rules and a good kick up the bum when I break them (
I think we should agree to watch each other and send ''reminders'' when we go over, as silly as it is I think it will help me knowing that Mimi will be watching when I pig out on chocolate chip cookies again!!!
4 of the damn things I ate today (
I'm embarrassed I have so little will power when it comes to this, I can stick to the detox perfectly time after time but on my off days I might say ''oh just one'' and that gives me a taste for them!!

I'd love to join your biscuit resistance pact!! And don't mind you telling me off!!! lol xxx
I really do think that they are the thing that messes me up and the root of my problem.

I will set out a few items which I will allow as a replacement for these times when I am shattered so I have something I can have but is not going to make me go into pig out mode!!
