@rawrxamberx What's going on, Amber? Talk to us!! Maybe we can help?
Temptation last week was really hard. But with my sisters most recent doctor visit, my family and I have decided that we are no longer gonna have junk food in the house. So I’m hoping this helps me with my cravings. Cuz we will have more fruits and vegetables around.
@rawrxamberx That sounds like an excellent plan, Amber! And if the whole family is on board, it will make it that much easier to do!!1 -

Okay, I have been a terrible teammate this month. And quitting sugar has not been as easy as I thought it would be. I haven't been logging my meals regularly which I know is so important to be successful but I have fell out of the habit the past couple months and its hard to get back into it. So my goal going forward is to be consistent about logging everything! I'll try my best to be more active here as well2 -

@thedestar Even if it's not perfect to start with, getting back into the habit of logging is always a good place to start! Glad you are still here with us!2 -

TODAY I am back at home, relaxed, and happy to feel like life is more normal (my BFF and I try to do a girls weekend once a quarter pre-covid) and ready to finish up my course which goes into test mode at 8pm
It's going to be a great week to end May strong!!!
Thank you all for your support after my not great weigh-in. Staying on the path again!1 -

I go grocery shopping on the weekends. Before the "spring rush" at work, when my husband worked very few Saturdays, he would go grocery shopping with me, and I would not be tempted to buy myself "treats". Now that I go by myself, I buy "treats" that I can fit into my calorie budget, and I have every intention of doing so. However, once I start, even if I have measured out a serving, I always seem to end up eating the whole box, or bag, or whatever. So, the easy solution is not to buy any; the solution I want to adopt is to eat appropriate serving sizes!! I guess I have a week to ponder this dilemma until I go grocery shopping again. Maybe my weigh-in on Saturday morning will help me decide! If I have blown this week, I will be refraining, for sure, from buying anything NOT on my list!!1 -
@annabananamc A girls' night sounds fun. I am glad that you and your BFF could get together....we need that more than ever right now! And you are back on track to finish the month strong!!1

@HASWLRS Can you buy single serving packs? I buy fun size M&Ms for that reason. If I open a larger bag I'm going to eat the whole thing and usually the fun size is enough to get my chocolate fix. I eat one every day, even if I splurge and eat two It doesn't ruin the day. 😁3 -
@HASWLRS I would suggest the same thing that @DaffyGirl88 did. Another thing I will sometimes do is weigh out and bag each serving in a package so that I have my own "single serving" portions ready.
Another thing I do is write qnd take a shopping list, and only get the items on that list. I'm pretty sure it drives hubby nuts, but I tell him that if it doesn't go on the list, we're not getting it (with the exception of if I forgot to write down the dog/cat food). He absolutely loves the weeks when I don't write a list.1 -
I would like to thank all of you for your supportive comments. I keep feeling like I've got this and I will check in more, and then something else happens and makes me slack in the group. Having all of your support makes me feel much better, but I have a hard time bringing myself to check in when my head is in another place.
You are all a wonderful group and I just can't stop thanking you all for the support you have given me over the last 2+ years. It means so much!
And while I do not have the problem of stress eating like I used to... stress definitely impacts my weekly weigh ins. As a result, this week's weigh in is 167.1, up 3.6lb from last week. And, factor in the after TOM gain i usually experience... I will work even harder this week to have a great finish for May.3 -

I am working on cutting sugar also. I was exhausted this week. I don't know if it is stress from work, home life with 2 pre-teens and husband, PMS or sugar... maybe a combo. What I found interesting is that there arw a lot of foods I like that I thought had a lot of sugar and don't - like tortilla chips. Wth?!?1 -
