Help!! Can't stop eating crap food.

Whoa, you're eating a ridiculously low amount of calories! Are you reporting everything or are there really frequent days where you only eat 500-800? Maybe eating a higher quantity of food will make you crave 'rubbish' less frequently and you can use moderation.

A. There are no crap foods.

B. If I ate less than 800 calories a day I'd probably binge too

C. How are you even typing?

Don't "go buy".

Log everything. You can't get an accurate picture of the changes you need to make unless you do.

As for willpower, you have to find that for yourself.

hey..not in a rude way..but you should really put all of your food on here. it's hard for me too. but no one is going to judge you.

Totally agree, I am also in the same boat of low calories, but for me, I have medical issues that enable me to put restrictions on alot of foods....No one will judge, we are all looking to achieve the goal of wellness!!

Also, just on a side note, I am not sure that I understand the "sodium" values in your food diary, like, some items dont have any sodium in them which is so unheard of, like things like bread?....so not sure if this is an accurate reading of all that is being consumed.

As for protein, you do eat chicken, so that's a great choice....how about fish?

So yes put all your food down, put everything out there, lay it on the line...after all what else to you have to lose but weight and meet and make some great friends!

I agree with B and C totally, but A ... Well, if it's got artificial ingredients, then it is indeed a "crap food"; even if it's low in calories ...

Example: Dannon Light and Fit Yogurt, crap .... Fage or Chobani Plain Yogurt 2%, not crap
Lite Cool Whip, crap ... Real Homemade Whipped Cream, not crap
Lcuky Charms (or most kid's cereals), crap ... Pizza from your local mom and pop type pizzeria, not crap
Yoohoo (or chocolate drink that has no milk in it), crap ... Square of high quality dark chocolate, not crap

I get protein with protein shakes, protein bars, etc. I sometimes cook boneless/skinless chicken breasts in advance just to have on hand. I also like raw tuna steaks (sushi grade) - I cut them up and add a little sesame seed. Both are great with salads.

Try to find a low-calorie or healthier version of what you want. I don't like soda much, but there are lavender- and vanilla-flavoured sodas that I'm in love with, 60 calories per bottle and they help with sugar cravings. If you want something sweet, try eating some fruit like an orange that takes a long time to eat, or a fruit popsicle (80 or 90 calories, om nom nom) instead of ice cream. If you freeze dark chocolate, you can eat a square of it slowly and it helps with the sugar and chocolate cravings-- and it's good for you If you want something salty, try miso broth. 30 calories for an instant packet and satisfies hunger and salt craving at the same time. Also, about your diary-- it's hard to look at the numbers sometimes, but literally every person here has likely had a day when they've eaten so much that they're ashamed to track it all, so you're not alone, and if anyone judges you for it, s/he's just insecure :P Also, if you don't think that salad fills you up, eat something else, or add some more food to it-- tofu is good for protein, plus it tastes good, or some rice (brown is more nutritious, but you can eat white if you prefer it). Don't restrict a lot and then binge, that's counter-productive. Just spread your calories throughout the day. Also, try eating more frequently-- having snacks in between meals keeps your metabolism going, and you'll eat more reasonably at mealtimes.
Also, try drinking cold water, or tea-- has a flavor, but no calories, and it makes you quite full.

Stop bringing $$ to work.
