My housemate does understand the need to have a healthy life as she is a personal trainer, but we share a love of sweet things and are often a temptation for each other. We train hard though so occasional treats are fine. We have also agreed that home is a no judging zone, if she wants to binge out on junk food for a whole week, that's her choice. I need to be disciplined enough to refuse treats if they don't fit into my day, and her offering them to me helps me grow my self-discipline (which is like a muscle and needs exercise to stay strong.)@Dory_42 Well done! Your housemates and friends don't always 'get it', do they? My partner often turns up with a bottle of wine, even though I have tried to make it clear that I am not drinking alcohol for a while. Ditto cakes, which I rarely eat.3 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, about six hours disinfecting the public areas of my workplace due to the virus, plus walking
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? way under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes. Had another Starbucks Frappuccino today, don't want to make it a daily habit because I'm a sugar fiend. Maybe writing it down here will stop me tomorrow.
Is there a smaller size? A kid size?
Drink 3/4?
Then 1/2 the next day!
Or sip it slowly with water & stop the moment you are ok? Tuck a scale in your bag. Weigh drink before & after.
Ask yourself what is it about the Frappuccino that is drawing you to it? Optimize for that!!

@MadisonMolly2017 Nope, no kid size. They make a smaller size, but I buy them at work, and there's only one size. It's a strong coffee drink and not for kids anyway. There's no way I would add water to a drink like that -- there would be no point in buying it.
And no, saving 1/2 for the next day doesn't work for me. I'm okay with one a month. Any more than that and it pushes my sugar fiend button. I just have to stop buying them, plus plan a substitute, like taking my own black coffee.
They say there are two kinds of people, abstainers and moderators. I'm an abstainer. If I don't buy things like the frappuccino then I don't miss them. A moderator would feel deprived.
I wasn’t suggesting watering it down! I sometimes will sip water from another glass while drinking a treat drink.
Sounds like you have a great plan!
And I think there’s a third type... one who abstains from some & moderates with other food items! !3 -
