I have no control. I go along just fine, eating healthy for awhile, then I give in and it just starts going down hill from there. Last friday I had a WHOLE day of eating at Mcdonalds...I'm talking all 3 meals...then I was bawling because my weight was up.
So I was hungry last night and what did I do? Had DH go get me a McDonald's nugget meal. What is wrong with me? This is one of the first times its really hit me how out of control I am. How these craving's seem to rule my life. When I have them, it feels there is no saying no! But I really want to lose the weight, but obviously I am not willing to sacrifice ALL the foods that I know I shouldn't eat. So what do I do? I need help....

Pinkhoodie-

I am with you. I am fighting the cravings now as I type this. It seems as if they control every thought and it has finally made me realize that food addiction is real. What I have been doing is compiling a list of healthy option choices from my favorite places to eat off of the internet. It is helping me because now I know that I can still go to these places alone but more with other folks and still eat. Also I have reduced my calorie intake and I am going to use it like people use weight watchers. If I don't use all of my calories for 1 day then I am going to use them for the next day or before the week is out to eat some of the things I really want without piling on extra calories.

I don't know how this will work ultimately but it feels good to have a plan so maybe you should think intensely about how you want to "START" losing the weight when you crave...cause its helping me be more creative.
