Hi Robyn,

I didn't start the snacking until over a year out. I hope that you can get it under control. It is so hard once you open Pandora's box and then try to shut the box again. You have given so much advice to others that i guess it is time to take a little of your own advice . So if you have to cookies still there put them down the garbage disposal and toss the Halloween candy in the trash. It is easier when it is not around. It is something that now has become such a struggle for me since the carbs came back into my life. I can relate so much to what you are going through because I too have a lot of issues.

Yesterday and today were a bad day for me because I ate a few things that I shouldn't have. I was kind of weird how it started. I went to Fry's to buy some cd labels and saw some crunchy Cheetos I didn't buy them but it was a trigger food that started my downfall. After I talked myself out of them i felt this emptiness and felt like I was starving. I went home ate but after eating my meal I started picking on things One was cookies that I had brought home from a Halloween party for my son. I found them on the fridge and I said to myself only one and ended up eating four. I them promptly put the rest down the sink. Then there was the peanut butter cups that were left over those were three that I ate through out the evening. Those I did pay for this morning when I dumped. It takes a long time to feel the effects of all that fat and sugar. Today was better until the evening and then the sweet tooth happened again and I had some popcorn. Tomorrow the rest of my stash of candy will go to my neighbors. I have been working hard on getting rid of these bad habits that have sneaked back in. Majority of the time I am good about not doing that but these last couple of days have not been easy. I have lost in the last couple of weeks 8 pounds. I still have 31 pounds that I want to lose and it is going so slow but it is at least going.

Ramona,

I do understand how hard life is when we're really stressed, and how tempting things are if they are there. So put things you can have and prepare ahead of time. Example I was going to a girlfriends 50th b-day and they had the works lots of food and lots of deserts and drinks. I took my own small cooler with my drinks, the food I could eat, and I took me a couple of SF Fudge popsicles (so when they had cake and other deserts) I ate my SF Fudge popsicles. At home I stick to SF regular popsicles they are less calories, but when I want something special so I don't feel left out like at this party the SF Fudge does the trick. Before Halloween I knew the candy would be tempting, so I prepared and bought me SF hard candy to suck on that night and it worked great. We need things for ourselves, just have to find things that won't take away from our weigh lose or start making us regain. Hang in there.
