|
|
I'm so mad with myself for pigging out on chocolate lately and gaining 7 pounds since my last Weigh in. I seem to be like a helpless child when it comes to being responsible for laying off the chocolate. I want to and I don't want to give up my chocolate at different times. I need to go back to my 3-D WW meetings but I'm so broke I'm in the poor house. Although, if I layed off the junk, I would have money for the meetings. So instead of losing weight I've gone the wrong way and have gained it. _________________

Barb - I'm sorry to hear of your struggle with chocolate. You have two choices - allow some in moderation (if you can) - or go cold turkey and eliminate chocolate all together. But it come back to a choice only YOU can make. I'm lucky - I can walk away from chocolate nearly every time. _________________

Work on that negative self talk Barbara. Listen to what you say to yourself. If you wouldn't be that critical of a good friend, then don't be that critical of yourself. Everyday is a new day for you to make different choices.
You hang in there Barbara!

Barb, you're a strong young woman. If you can quit smoking, you can certainly lay off the chocolate. I know it's difficult; I have the same problem with chips and dip. I'm trying to treat the craving for chips and dip just as I treated the craving for cigarettes 2 1/2 years ago. Accept it for what it is and do something else to get your mind off the "goodies."
I have faith in you. You can do this. _________________

Thank you all.

Listen to Jo; she is right!
Another idea is to eat only a piece or two of some very expensive chocolate. Say....Godiva! I absolutely love it, but it gives me terrific Migraines....and still I want it, even knowing it will turn my Life to Hell, so that was finally how I did it. Godiva is unbelievably expensive, so I can only afford to eat a piece every now and then.
YOu will do it! Anyone that quits smoking can do anything! I'm convinced of it! _________________

Hi Barbara,
I agree don't be so hard on yourself. I still battle with craves of wanting to eat too much, I just try and off set it by having an exercise program and sticking to it. I know that isn't easy either, but it keeps my mind away from day dreaming about chocolate.
Great to see you,

It's easier to just change the day dream. Change it to Wow I'm going to look yummy in that new sweater. _________________
