Diario de Liv Lite, 13 ago. 19

I feel for ya, I did that with cashews last week!  

It happens Liv. Move on my friend! Just wish I could've had a couple too! LOL 

Hope the appointment went well. I try exercise. Does not always work but sometimes. Computer games also helps, sometimes 

once I start I can't stop. I know moderation can be taught but it's not something I've got  

Next time don’t do it 

find other alternatives like search around for some healthier tasty options at costco and stuff, you sometimes get lucky and find your new thing, right now i’m literally addicted to these healthy brownies made with zero sugar, sweetness comes from molasses and pure cocoa 

Don’t dwell over it. My favourite low cal snack option is Orville redenbacher smart pop microwave popcorn. 100 calories per big 🙂 I hope your appointment went well! 

Thanx for the feedback, everyone! I suck at "portion control" moderation, so no more temptations allowed in the house! Back on track today, walked alot, didn't eat till 4pm (21+ hrs fasting) & doctor's visit went great! No more medical appointments for 5-6 weeks, so time to focus on losing this weight :) 

That is good new LL 

Liv, I don't know you WOE, but I find that high fat, high protein keeps me from bingeing. Eat cheese and meat and it kills your appetite for sweets. 

IMHO, you need to get rid of those temptations, if you know anything about addictions, treat it as such.. can an alcoholic just have 1 beer? that is how I've had to treat my trigger foods... all nuts (whole and butters), mayo, etc... for the most part I just can't be satisfied with a serving no matter how much I try. That's life for me; maybe some other day in the future I'll try again but for now there are foods that don't help me reach my goals. 

Replace the bad habits with good ones. For instance , I love chips! But I know it’s horrible for me so I’ve replaced a bad of chips with 4 Melba roasts with dip. I break them up to moderate sizes and they become “my chips” haha . Try and replace chocolate or sweets with something similar but healthier . For sweet flavoring - try watermelon. A cup of watermelon has very little calories. For chocolate - replace it with mixed nuts (chocolate bits added) - they are generally low in calories and the amount of chocolate it small. I live in Canada and we have a place called bulk barn - there you can choose the amount of almonds , nuts, chocolate and other delicious stuff , which than gives you the power to willingly decide how much fattening food you’ll be mixing with the healthy food. You got this! This bad habit was not brought up in a day so you cannot expect it to change in a day, right? Keep pushing yourself! Self control is so difficult but it’s definitely not impossible. We all believe in you :) 

Bag * Melba toast * is * —- sorry for my inability to spell properly! lol 

Thanx, Frosty, Iwish & Erika! I need to stay on my balanced plan (moderate protein, lower carbs, calorie counting) without trying to add in "extras" because I am still recovering from food addiction & binge eating disorder. No need to trigger myself. Just use the tools to deal with stress. Exercise is a great de-stressor! And yes, I have gotten away from my fav Wasa fibre crackers (9g fibre/100 cals per 3) - especially with cheese & salsa! Always a healthy option to everything I crave :) 

Definitely recommend working out, wether that’s going to the gym, doing a little home workout or going for a nice jog outside! It’ll help calm you down and it takes time away from eating too! 

When I am tempted to eat something I really do not want but am responding to stress I repeat in my head "that is not my food". That usually helps. I also just take our dog for a walk instead. Both have helped me. I lost a total of 136 lb in 2017 but did not "get" maintenance and so gained 50 lbs back which I lost again this year mid Feb thru July. I am in maintenance again and so far am managing to lose 1 to 2 lbs / week (because that is my goal for now.) 

smoke a joint.  

I find tai chi helpful for stress management. 

It has happened to me before. Indeed last night I ate a lot of food after weeks of being healthy. You just need to acknowledge it and go back to healthy 

I exercise even for just 10min
