Warning *** Beginning of rant. ***
I am such an junk food addict and I hate it. I don't hate myself for it I just hate my actions. Did I need the 3 pack of Peggy Lawton's cookies yesterday after a healthy lunch? No but I ate it. OINK, OINK.
Do I need to eat potato chips with or after dinner? No, but I do. OINK. OINK.
*** End of rant. ***
There is no such thing as moderation to addict. I have to cut that SH!T out.
The reason I am venting is I know that overly processed food is not meant for the body but this addiction is real, my struggle is real.
I think for me I need to apply this KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid) and start making my food in batches and placing them in containers on Sunday and then each day I can go into fridge and grab that container for my lunch and when I come home in the evening, access the second container. I need to do this M - F with the exception of Thursday nights. This is the plan, now all I have to do is execute and STICK to it.
On a final note, I have logged for 15 days now. I am proud of change. It takes work and I am in it for the long haul.
I can do this, I can do this.

it is difficult to stay away from your vices. But for any addict of any substance, you need to recognize your triggers. And stay away from them. once you start eating those foods it is very difficult to stop. you have the first step down understanding and recognizing your trigger foods. now you just make that commitment to not eat them. many of us have an addictive personality. I know I do. and yes keeping busy helps. when it gets real bad for me I jump on my bike, or grab something that is good for me, veggies, avocado or a nice cup of coffee,etc. You can do this. now that I am trying the intermittent fasting, it is so much easier for me to curb those cravings.

Thanks all. Today IS a wonderful day, full of many blessings. I am touched by your kind words and support. I've read all the responses slowly and carefully so I can internalize it. I am grateful that I have you with me on my journey I and I hope that I can be of assistance with you on yours as well. A few moments back, I had another response in mind, something like "blah, blah, blah. I am going to turn this into a OMAD" then the hunger took me at the 18 hr mark and guess what? I went to the fridge and got the foods I prepared. #WINNING #TODAYIMADEITCOUNT. Leaving the office in 1/2 hr and I am looking forward to my planned dinner for tonight so I can keep on keep on.

Good job👍. For me, stopping myself from putting those snack foods in my grocery cart in the first place is helping. And saving money 💰! It’s a mind set, but I am weak so have to have a plan, just like you are doing. Nicely done.

I have to proportion out my snacks for the day - I weigh and measure out everything. it actually makes things a little easier as I can just grab and go. It also makes me slow down and think about the choices I am making for snacks. Great job on logging everything. live the adventure.

you pig you lol fella - I had a week like you - Food is like any drug if misused ( the way we grew up ) like cough medicine, prescription drugs ,etc - All we can do is control or try to control it - I'm laughing with you man -
We all get upset on a bad stretch, but its life - We'll get back on the horse again and we'll fall off etc -
I use pork rinds for chips - good replacement - YOU ARE DOING IT YOU CAN DO IT MUCH SUCCESS TO YOU - JOHN

That's exactly what I do....all prep in Sunday for the weeks worth of lunch and dinner. If I have an evening at home ( not working) I'll throw something on the grill.

I hear you; you're not alone. My husband loves chips and we always have bags of them in the house. I've made myself little tasks, like I can have a small (little glass Pyrex) bowl of chips if I clean something in the house and drink a glass of water. Guess what? I have a dirty house and I'm dehydrated, LOL! Sometimes I just feel like something salty, so I eat the damn chips. Then I go for a walk later in the evening. To me things like chips, cookies, doughnuts -- they're all delicious and they're WORK. If I eat them I have to WORK WORK WORK to burn them off and I'm already trying to pummel off the pounds I've already got. Creating tasks and making myself walk if I eat something on my "no no" list is creating some good habits for me. You're halfway there; you realize that those foods are triggers for you. It takes time to figure out how NOT to pull the trigger.

The struggle is real, I know. I do believe in cutting out bad habits all together, BUT, I do make fat bombs and have them handy in the freezer because I get those cravings and if it wasn't for them, I would go way off the end. My husband has cookies and chips. They are in the cabinet I don't need to open because I can go to my healthy choice - fat bomb!
