I also struggle at times with portion control - people say CICO and eat what you want if it fits your CICO plan...but some foods will take over and I cannot moderate them...so I try to avoid them!! (Nacho Cheese Doritoes! LOL) 

If you slam some protein (shake etc) first to break your fast, there are studies out there that show a much better insulin and glucose response rather than hitting carbs first. Could help with the water weight. I break every fast with some kind of protein and low carbs.  

When I went for massage last time, I did not get my usual 9am meal. Went hungry till 11am, and then carbs was served at a coffee meeting. I ate maybe 1 ounce to break the hunger. Knew I could have a proper meal when getting home. Normally I have zero problems resisting carbs at coffee meetings, but hunger made me weak that morning. With my current 7am,9am,11:30am,4pm 'feeding schedule' I rarely feel hunger, and have the control I desire. And yes, the carbs at this coffee meeting tasted like newspaper to me. Was not hard to portion control. 

Normally these do not even look like food to me, but I can see how they might get to you after a fast. 

@Cb1006 - Well I did start the day with 20g of Protein drink, so lets see if that helps me :) I also try to break the fast with low carb. My 'choices' today are what I would call 'unwise' 😒 

@Erikahollister - I see stuff like this all the time and I am normally not affected at all. The main problem was that it was provided by coworkers who went through a lot of trouble to make a really kind gesture. That's what made it hard to say no even though I **KNEW** it would start a massive carb binge. They provided it today because they know I only eat, during the week, on Fridays. Also, I wrote in my blog, justthis moring, that I am just 'going through the motions' on my diet this week, so... it was the 'perfect storm'... 

@Diddlee - What were the carbs? This stuff is liquid sugar poured over with spun sugar that is sprinkled on baked white flour. So there are 'carbs' and then there are 'CARBS' 😜😆 

That looks crazy delicious! My stomach just did a flip-flop! 

adefwebserver True. I had banana cake, without frosting. Frosting would have masked the cardboard feel I got from it. Used to love making those buns you had. They made a gastronomic orgasm at that time. Now I get orgasm from cured meat with cheese. Though someone should suggest meat and cheese, or a bbq, as an alternative to sugar at a task team celebration. Think most would like that idea. 

Omg!! I’ve never seen so many Cinnabon’s together!! I would be in big trouble if I were left alone with those... 

I’m just gonna pop in here and suggest more orgasms during sex! 😈 okay, carry on 

I’d definitely cave! 🤤🤤🤤 

@KayBuckaroo - 🤣👍🏾 

Wait what??!! 😅😅😅😅 

KayBuckaroo I'm at ease with that. When someone mention something that is not relevant, they usually talk about their own life. Hope you're doing ok. 

Diddlee I’m sorry! I was just being funny! I apologize! Seriously, I thought it was funny  

It’s just you were talking about orgasms from carbs and I couldn’t resist  

Awww cmon I’m pregnant, I have some serious weird humor lately. Should I delete? 😬 

@KayBuckaroo - I'm ok with it 👍🏾😉 

K! Good!
