Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I eat a chocolate bar almost every day, and I snack regularly at night on sweets. I rarely hit my calorie goal and as a result have lost almost no weight. I have NO willpower and don't know how to fix it.0

I like your style!
Tell me more of this cake batter oatmeal please
Ingredients in my Cake Batter Oatmeal
1. 1 Scoop of Musclepharm Birthday Cake Protein Powder
I've found this protein powder is very thick & I feel it's what allows this to become dense like a cake.
2. 1 scoop Quaker Oats Quick Oats
3. I've used Almond & Cashew milk & usually just use around 2.80-3.00 ounces of liquid
I put this in the microwave for around a minute & 30 seconds, & it usually comes out dense like a cake.
The one day I had to use water at work since my milk leaked out of my container & it turned out as hard as a brick. A coworker thought I was eating a Rice Krispie treat
.
I'm so tempted to buy so of that protein powder now....
ETA: Luckily, i do not appear to be able to get this in the UK
I was just about to check that out myself. Damn
You are coming to America and it's sold a GNC. (Yes, I am an enabler.)1 -

I have never purchased Nutella...or cookie butter. I think I'll keep it that way, because I suspect I could also eat the entire jar in one day with a spoon. I've already confessed I've done that with cream cheese frosting before.

@Scrappydo67 I make room for chocolate/ice cream every night. I just make sure it fits in my calorie goal for the day. If I tried to cut out sweets, I would freak out and eat ALL THE THINGZ! I think knowing that I can have some every night helps me be satisfied with a small amount. It's usually about 200 calories worth, unless I have more calories to spare.
I saw something on a different thread that I thought was awesome and started using. It's a question matrix to decide if you should eat something.
1. Have I had this before? If yes, is it super delicious? Do I have the calories for it? Can I have it again in the future?
2. If no, does it look super delicious? Do I have the calories for it? Can I have it again in the future?
If I have the calories and it's super delicious, have it! Don't waste calories on things that are mediocre. If you can have it again in the future, and you don't have calories left, then promise yourself that you will bank some calories so you can have some later. If it's super delicious, you don't have calories, and you can never get it anywhere else ever again, then splurge!6 -

You're not alone.
I need to get my calories & eating back in check!
I am going to look into the volumetric eating style since I need volume to feel full.0 -

These are great questions! Good idea to leave myself the calories to use for my sweet fix every day, cuz I know it's going to happen. I also have to up my exercise so I have more calories to work with.0 -

I just threw out the vegan cream cheese frosting my mom sent me home with this weekend. I was seriously going to do that. It was amazing.
Anyone notice we now have a like and awesome button on here?4 -

I actually feel my heaviest after a gym workout. The muscles retain water so I always feel fat and bloated. Therefore, I have to weigh myself first thing in the morning after 8 hours of no water/food or I don't weigh myself at all. Sometimes I sneak a peak of my weight before bed with clothes on and food from the day to see the weight difference between the whole day. Sometimes it makes me happy that after food from the day and all my bed clothes that the weight I see used to be the weight I saw first thing in the morning which meant I Was losing weight and it actually made me feel better.
I do this too.0 -

Kelly, I was just saying this morning how important it is for me to have that full feeling!! I need lots of food to be satisfied!
Today I've planned to eat over 800 grams of vegetables.
I might look into one of those spiralizers to use on zucchini & whatever other vegetables people use on the machine.
I think my biggest problem is I gain a lot of workout calories from working with my Fitbit (I range from 2,500-3,300 calories burned per day when I work) & on days I have off I want to still eat the same amount of food.
I'm going to try & stick around 1900-2,000 calories everyday regardless of calorie burn since I find I lose weight around that calorie goal.4 -
I still can't believe no one has commented on the like and awesome buttons.2

Verizon is on strike. Off to be a CO Tech!0

Have fun being a tech, Patricia, if you cam I hope it doesn't last long, but it will be a break in the routine.
I have seen the new buttons, but they don't seem to work on my phone. Odd...
