Help me :(

What kind of trouble are you having with sweets? Craving them? Can't say no to them? Sneaking them? Trying to have a little bite but not able to stop? Sweet tooth?

If you're craving them, try to figure out what it is that's triggering the craving. Is there another food that can give you what your body is asking for?

If you can't say no to them, try not to bring them into the house. No one in the house needs them. If Hubby really, really wants something, he can run to 7-11, but he cannot bring home more than what he'll eat alone at one time.

If you're sneaking them, you're not ready to be honest with yourself right now.

If you're trying to have a little bite but can't stop, take your bite and cover the rest in salt or Tabasco (unless you like salty, spicy sweets....)

If it's a sweet tooth, have fruits and carrots and gum and Crystal Light handy.

I totally understand - I did great last year (Sept-Dec) - lost 30 lbs... then from mid January to mid May of this year I was totally off the wagon - regained 15 lbs. It's very frustrating, but you have to let go of the self-hate. Recognize that people fall off all the time - you just have to pick yourself up and keep going. I did that, and am now back to almost 30 lbs lost and more motivated than ever!

Regarding the sweets, I would highly recommend you just keep it out of the house, like the previous poster said. Also, plan your food out ahead of time - I try to do this the night before, as part of my bedtime routine. This way, I print out my plan each day and it's much easier to stick to, than having to worry about logging as the day goes on, or wondering how something fits into what I have left. Allow yourself an occasional treat, but try to get creative and make it a healthy version. For example, I make "soft-serve banana" that's ice cream made 100% out of bananas only... (but it's the texture of ice cream) - I still eat real ice cream sometimes, but I also try to have healthy versions like this sometimes. There are tons of good recipes on here that you can try.

Good luck! You CAN do it - you just have to put your desires into action and realize that NO ONE is perfect - don't get mad at yourself for messing up, just learn from your mistakes and over time you will have healthier habits.

You can get back on track,, you just need to prepare.. Iike other posters are saying you should really plan you meals and snacks. I had a really plan boring food plan t o start with but once I got familiar with low cal ideas and snacks I can now have variety. Great snacks are carrot sticks or capsicum with home made hummus. I also have soft serve banana .. this recipe I got from accountant_boi and it is great, you could add peanut butter to it too and it is delicious. I also have a nut and rasin mix 1/4 cup of walnuts and 1 teaspoon of sultanas and that is a a great snack that keeps you tummy fuller for longer... Hope that helps ,,, You took the first step admitting that you are struggling.....

we have an Aldis close by our house and when I have a sweet tooth I go and buy those fit & active products....like the chocolate weight loss shake (170 calories) and the chocolate chunk granola bars (90 calories). They're pretty good too and cheap.
