Before After

I have a problem

And it is time for me to admit it to someone.  I think I'm addicted to junk food.  Seriously.  I hide it in the house so I don't have to share it.  I get serious cravings for it and if I don't eat a little bit when the craving first starts, I will big time binge when I can't take it anymore.  I will plan what junk I'm going to eat when I know my husband isn't going to be home to share it with or to give me grief about eating it.  Tonight - he was planning to be gone so I decided I would make rice krispie treats and eat the entire pan.  Yes - I PLANNED to eat the entire thing.  That's just not normal, is it?  It doesn't seem like it is normal.  It took 2 stores to get the ingredients, I made it and ate until I was stuffed and sick.  At one point today, it was looking like his plans were going to be cancelled and I was upset.  Upset that he would be at home with me because it meant I wouldn't get to eat my pan of krispie treats.  I know my binging habits are a huge contributor to why I'm not losing.  Now, I have done the food plan perfect before and I have lost and it was still slow - but not this slow.

Ok, now I've admitted it.  Now, I need to learn to stop this behavior.  I think that will be the really hard part.

I have the same problem.

My hubby is going away next weekend - and I'm torn between deciding all the junk food I can cram in! When for brief moments the craving subsides I try to make plans for myself to keep myself busy and out of the icecream! If he's not there I try to make myself accountable to someone else, or make plans to do something that doesn't involve sitting on the couch. Jeans shopping always makes me lose my appetite. :)

Best of luck, this is a demon we need to learn to control if we ever want to have control of out bodies. :) All the best.

Don't you just hate it.....

I can't seem to control food habits very well either. I do much better at controlling my exercise.  But the thing with exercise is that it takes me SO much more time to exercise off what took me only moments of bliss to eat.

I've got to find a way to balance it.

How is it going?

How are you doing with your eating habits?  I struggle with this also.  I wish I had more self control.  Lately it has been chocolate for me.  I used to never eat chocolate.
