    i am not only trying to lose some weight, i am trying to get a handle on my sugar addiction and eat healthier in general.

    I consider it cheating when I am eating 'straight sugar', even if I am under my calories.

    Example: today .....LOL

    I am under my cals but still managed to include some Hershey's Special Dark candy bar. That's not going to help me. I know it's just perpetuating my addiction but this is so freakin hard!!
    I log it all even the worst of it : - o

    From this thread I went to my evening food log. I was amazed that the most logged snacks at my 8 pm time was all sugar...............this is going to change today.

    Thanks for the thread. The only one I am cheating is ME!! :flowerforyou:

    I've learned there's some things I have to allow myself of I'll go crazy. I make sure I still allow my one cup of coffee a day at work mid-morning.

    And there's somethings I have to stay far, far away from. If I have once piece... one single bite of chocolate I'll go into a total craving mode and won't be able to stop.

    you have to indulge once in a while its a lifestyle change not a diet. If you restrict yourself from foods you like you are more likely to fail. In saying this I try to stay within my calorie allowance-or work out longer to gain more calories so I can "indulge". If I go over my calories then I just start over the next day!
