HI THERE! In a nutshell, I eat half of what the old me would have eaten, or half of a half. I found that if I deprive myself, I end up falling hard and fast off the wagon. For example, this lady was selling that world greatest chocolate here at work for $2. I love that stuff! (the whole bar was 1,000 calories) So I bought one, and only had a "square" and purposely gave the rest away despite how much I wanted it. Moderation was the key for me! I still battle with sweets. I love biscuits, peanut m&m's, hot tamale candy, and flaming hot cheetos have always, and will always be my weakness! Something that helps with this strict portion control is drinking a big gulp of water prior to me eating my victim. I've done pretty good so far. If I let it consume me, I become it's victim and I worked much too hard to let myself get to that point!
I hope it helps you a little. Try eating just the serving size of what you crave, and then move down to half the serving size. It's hard. It's still hard, but I gotta keep on going if I want to stay this size...did I mention being 6.5 months pregnant with intense cravings makes it THAT much harder! UGH! You are alone hun.
