Good for you no candy!!! They put those right n your way to tempt you and boost their sales, also so kids will beg for them. WalMart Neighborhood here has started putting kids cereal with lots of sugar in them in the checkout. It's a scheme do not buy into it!!! You can beat the sales gimmicks. Photos can be an inspiration!! Print one and stick it on your frig or cabinet as a reminder not to get into that cake. Put one in your wallet so if you are paying for that checkout counter candy you have to see it and remind you not to give in to those store tactics.

I don't have food triggers like that, but early on after I quit smoking, I would find odd triggers for that all over the place. Keep on pushing through and they will fade.

Facebook should be asking you for your permission to allow the tag. If not, be sure to go out to your privacy/security settings and set it so that any future tags have to be approved by you. :)

It's just mental habits. It takes a long time to break them. Two for one means it's twice as bad. Sometimes it's easier to replace a bad habit with a good one, rather than just saying no to the bad one. Could you jump up at 8pm and do some exercise, or phone someone, or whatever? Anyway well done for not giving in!

Facebook setting changed. Now that I've had some time to think about it I have to wonder. Why that one? It wasn't even a quality picture it was blurry. She didn't post any of the kids and I together.. just me blurry with my butt sticking out. Something tells me she's enjoying the fact that I still haven't gotten rid of this pregnancy weight. Now I have even more motivation to do just that.

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words...and they speak the truth. It's a wake up. Print off that picture and post it on the fridge/pantry doors. It will be there to remind you! Good job on focusing on you and not the triggers. Good luck! And thanks for awesome journals!!!

I would hope that wasn't your own mom's intention. We always judge ourselves so harshly, just untag and move on. Good job saying no to the triggers!!

I think you can un-tag yourself from pictures on facebook? Not sure I'm not on it much.

I also have Rite-Aid triggers, especially those two-for-one specials on ice cream, cookies, and candy. I've found that what helps is counting calories. Now that I know the regular size movie bag of M&M's is only 230 calories, I will indulge while I watch the movie and sometimes at home. Then I deduct those calories from my total carbs for the day. Carb intake is what has worked for me and not exercise or low fat. Keep the carbs under 1000 every day and the weight just falls off consistently. Good luck. Triggers are inevitable; food manufacturers count on that. But be careful not to be the one shooting themselves in the foot.

Carbage! Love that one! You did great! Avoiding the candy is step one - once you are off that stuff for a while the cravings will end!
|
Those pay for diet plans also want you for a lifetime customer.... just saying.

When I was pregnant with my son, my husband was trying out his new video camera and shot me playing frisbee with the dog. The entire video was me from behind, throwing the frisbee and then bending over to pick it up after the dog returned it. He posted it online and alerted the whole family to watch it. Ugh! I feel your pain. :) You are not alone with the old time candy cravings. Somehow, it just looks like it would be delicious! Remember that there is a reason they don't sell much of it anymore. :) Great job stamping out that craving with pig feed. :)

They also have old timey candy at Michaels. WTH?? How does crafts equal an entire wall of candy? Luckily I just had my teeth cleaned.. and now I have a handy picture on my phone to look at and think. Its on butt! You're days are numbered. Yes I thought that. I don't think I said it but the old lady in front of me did keep watching me.. I may have said it out loud.

Congratulations! I have a hard time saying no to my triggers, but when I do give in I make sure to take it off my calorie total for the day. I have to say, you are really becoming stronger with your will power. Great job!!
