Is there anyone else here who can eat a whole loaf of bread?

We went out for our Valentines dinner on Saturday. I personally ate 2 loaves of the fresh bread they bring out. And lots of fresh herbed butter. Guess who isn't going out for Italian food for a very long time? I can't be trusted around delicious bread. lol

Oh maaaaaan, I remember a day when I had toast for breakfast (lazy and a rarity) and then suddenly the loaf went the same way!!! Bread is definitely something I cannot and rarely have at my house. Usually when I have soup for lunch i have a high protein roll alongside, stored in the freezer they are no longer a temptation. But bread itself is a no go!

Shark Brain I love that image! Thats me with chocolate!

Well, did he stay up all night with the little one? Sleep deprivation is a horrible thing. It really throws you off in so many ways - like I think your body gets confused about time of day - your endocrine system gets all wonky. You obviously aren't eating a loaf of bread because you are hungry. I think he needs to understand that. You are stressed - physically and emotionally. And bread tastes yummy. So it's like a way to calm yourself, right? Some people take drugs. Others eat bread.

I have been there! I'm also a mum (three kids) and I love bread &/butter. I lost all my overweigh when I bought a spinning, I started with 5 min a day and walks only. Don't be so hard on yourself if you had a Bad night. Eat well and have a loaf of bread if you need it but try to add exercise so you get strong, you are going to need it! And try to rest as much as you can, that's important too my dear. Sorry if my English is no perfect.

Hey. I can eat almost a full container of ice cream, or definately a large bag ofnchocolate every nite. It was out of control!!! You are not alone. Sharples. Some od its emotional, some bad choices and munching at night. I also have no will power if its in the house. Since I started MFP Ive eliminated this crazy eating. But firna chuxh Valentines dinner they had desert and chocolate on the table and I couldnt stop myself. It was so good! Any suggestions?

It is one meal of one day. It will not affect your long term progress. My personal view on this is that there are times, and this church event may be one, were it is more valuable to enjoy your time there without feeling like you messed up, and just eat the stuff. Try to log it as best you can, and go on with life getting back to your calorie goal the next day. I also don't deny myself things like desert and chocolate, I just seek to eat them within my calorie goal. Since exercise add to that goal, if I know I will be eating over it, I exercise more so I will either not go over or go over by less.

It's not the carbs nor the fat...

It's the chemicals, preservatives, pesticides and herbicides, dyes, sweeteners, artificial flavors, "natural" flavors (why won't just say what it is), oils, sodium and other crap they don't mind poisoning us with so they can sell a more addictive, cheaper product.

Yes, Oprah!

Bread is super tasty. Time was when I'd eat an entire baguette for breakfast. (I was in college then, on a varsity sports team and walking everywhere, so burning calories like anything.) Right now I have to limit myself very strictly.

Sigh.

Bread will not harm you and has no chemicals in it that will hurt you. They are not poisoning us.

Where did I put my tin hat?

Wow, what a prick

Here's the bread I'm most "addicted" to: https://www.beckmannsbakery.com/shop/german-farm-bread-round

Please look at the ingredients list and identify any of the components you mentioned, because I just ain't seeing them.

I can avoid the chocolate, but yesterday I brought a lovely loaf of seeded high protein bread. I had apprehensions about getting it because I have previously found I can't resist it, ridiculous as it sounds, it's so healthy. This morning, it's all gone! I had no sleep yesterday due to a young child being awake all night. I brought the bread with the best of intentions but I have three slices then want more! The whole thing has gone. In my massive tummy hashtag greed.

That's why I buy only the *kitten* breads that taste like cardboard. I had the same issue here, couldn't stop eating the bread so I don't buy the "healthy" ones.

God yes! Fresh white bread! The whole loaf - absolutely.
I wasn't allowed it as a child.
It's now my Christmas Eve treat. A whole loaf with whatever the hell I feel like, in sandwiches, with lashings of butter.
Can't poo for three days afterwards lol.

Bread is one of those things I don't keep around because it does something weird to my brain that triggers my hunger "like a fat kid in a candy store". I think it's flour in general that sets me off, because even low carb breads like tortilla factory get me going like a rabid animal.

So yeah, I could eat a whole loaf of bread. Dipped in a jar of nutella like some kind of animal.

I baked a 1 lb loaf of seeded wheat bread last Saturday and 14 grams remain. When that's gone, I'll have eaten the whole (small) loaf in a week.

When it's fresh and warm, I cut off one end, weigh it, and add a few carefully weighed grams of Sola Stella olive oil to make the gastronomic highlight of my Saturday.
