I remember in the late 1980s, a fritolay commercial with Jay Leno where he quoted that line, "Eat all you want. We'll make more!" and thinking, yeah right. What a scam. Chips are addicting!1 -
To others: "I lost weight just by cutting flour, sugar and processed foods." No mention of fats or meats.
To myself: "I deserve a treat." Cue in 3 apples and/or half a dark chocolate (and sugar cravings for days).

Realising I just finished one packet of chocolate/ crisp e.c.t I'll continue eating unhealthy "saying tomorrow is another day"!
Sometimes one day turns into a couple of days.
Or one treat won't hurt!
I'm feeling stressed right now it's okay to eat this!1 -
My challenge lately has been to overcome the feelings of "deserving"! My brain tells me that since I've worked so hard I deserve a treat! This is hard! I've managed to turn this in to "I deserve to be healthy, I deserve to be skinny, I deserve to wear a size medium, I deserve......". The thought processes have been a challenge, but I feel I've succeeded in quelling them!11

Yesterday was my birthday -- I was so tempted to eat more treats just because "it's my birthday!!" but managed to survive with just one low carb beer. No cake! this is a nsv for me...12 -
French fries smothered in gravy are not fattening.

Am I allowed to post 2?

Oooooh AND
I buy a one pound bag of nuts a month. It has 15 servings. I generally eat all 15 servings in 4 days. I tell myself it's fine because I only eat the 1 lb/month and what difference does it make if in 4 days or 30 days?2 -

there's room in my macros for this almond butter-chocolate-cheesecake (almond butter, super dark chocolate and cream cheese). Yes, it is technically keto; no there is not often room in my macros for it. But it tastes so goooooooooood.0

I drink red wine or whiskey these days, proper whiskey, made in Scotland and none of that blended muck! AND NO ICE, just a wee nip of water.

The stressful week, or stressful situation was the excuse.
Yet.... there might be a win-win scenario where you could have it all:- Connecting with the boys;
- Limiting carbs;
- Limiting calories; and
- Maximizing mouthfeel
- Spicy low-carb nuts (like flaming-hot almonds); and, in place of beer (sorry, it just wouldn't work),
- Buckets of water and shooters of Everclear spiked with mouth-searing hot sauce
Oh yeah, my lie is that I've followed this protocol myself without serious regrets.

OMG - that sounds fabulous! Maybe this could be an occasional treat? What proportions do you use to make this? I really shouldn't be asking...0 -

I'm with @Wakey618. This is not supposed to be a recipe thread but that sounds too good. @dbz9 can we have the recipe? Just for when we do have room, of course.

BIG LIE #1: "Well, it's low carb so if it's good for me then more of it will be even better."
BIG LIE #2: "If I eat it all up then it won't be here to tempt me and I'll be able to stay on my diet better tomorrow."
BIG LIE #3: "I way over ate yesterday and still managed to lose a pound so there will be no harm done if I indulge again today."

I was thinking the same thing...but I'm on "no cheese" this week because I wonder if it's causing my loss to slow. Sigh....next week maybe?0 -
Wish I could get to a lie. My brain shuts down and i succumb to a binge- no fight, no resistance, no self talk. Then later, I feel defeated and come up with some stupid justification or useless excuse.
Feeling big time discouraged at this moment in time, but getting Back on the horse today. Now. Whatever.
Better get busy with a project so I don't crawl back in bed - for good!

I can eat after dinner. Evening food is fine.... No, it doesn't affect my FBG and stall my weight loss at all. Yeah... right.

I soooo miss beer. I am a celiac so I had to give up barley and beer. I have found ONE beer that is acceptable - it tastes like beer - but it is still beer and full of carbs.... I haven't had a beer in over a year. Gah! My mouth is watering now!0
