Help me not eat the banana bread!!!!

This content has been removed.

Can you fit it into your calories? Plug the recipe into the recipe calculator and see how much you can have! Go for a walk/jog while it's baking to earn some more calories.
It's either worth the calories or it's not.

There's a possibility it's poisoned. Please send it to me for analysis.

(Honestly, if you have the room for it, eat some)

Go for a walk and have a piece or go for a walk and avoid it. Win win.

Tell yourself it will be just as good for breakfast tomorrow morning (it has bananas in it so it counts as breakfast ) and make it fit into your day tomorrow!

you can have a slice... just make it fit into your calorie deficit. moderation in all things. Eat the things you like, just in smaller portions.

If you cant fit it into your allowance do some exercise or decide whether you want it more than losing weight. Take responsibility for your own choices.

Thanks everyone for your support. I am currently not eating the banana bread and will not be in the future.

Do try to remember that deprivation leads to failure in the long run.

I find it interesting that people are trying to make her eat the bread lol. It isn't necessarily deprivation. Haven't we all decided to not give into a craving before? It doesn't fit, so maybe tomorrow. I don't know the OP so I'm not going to say she is depriving herself just from this. Maybe she just finished a banana split.

Will do. I just can't indulge myself just yet without falling apart.

Try to put the recipe in the recipe builder so you can get a good idea of the calorie count, and enjoy some when you have room!

Oh good grief, just have some. Go out for a run or something to build up some calories. I agree with the post above. Deprivation is not the way to go. Every time I've done it while losing weight in the past I eventually failed and gained my weight back. Moderation is key. You CAN stop at one piece. I'm sitting here eating a serving of Cheetos. A year ago I would have told you that I couldn't stop eating them once I started. Now I've learned to fit them in and have regular servings. It just takes a little discipline and eventually it becomes your new normal. Better to have what you love in smaller quantities then not at all.

You shouldn't eat it. Without melted butter spread on it.

Thank you very much! I'm not depriving myself, just trying to not fall off the wagon.

I'm not trying to convince you to eat it or not, or to 'fall of the wagon'. It's a matter of learning good eating patterns now. Long-term eating works better, if you think of it as simply learning to eat the same foods, but in small portions, so you are eating fewer calories in a day. That way you aren't 'dieting'. You don't cut foods out of your normal eating, you just eat less of the same foods. (Assuming that you normally eat a good balance of protein, carbs and vegetables to begin with, and then some treats like the banana bread).
Since eating is 80% of weight loss, and exercise is 20%, (and mostly for fitness), it's important to develop the right attitude toward food right from the start. If you view things like banana bread as the 'enemy' and a food you can never have, you will develop and unhealthy attitude toward it and other 'treat' foods. This can lead to binging later on down the road, or a give-up attitude.
