RE: I have a slight problem

[Guest guest]

I would ask first, who buys the ice cream, sweets, and junk food? If it is

you, then perhaps it might be helpful just not to bring it into the house

and if he wants it, let him buy it himself? Not sure if this is workable,

but I've found that if I don't buy it, then it's just not here to eat

(obviously). We try to eat a lot of whole foods and never drink soda

because I don't buy it nor chips and the like.

Not sure if this is helpful - maybe not -but I do understand that when it's

there, it will be eaten, so I try not to have it come into the house in the

first place.

I have a slight problem

I haev not posted for some time but I read most all the messages. My

problem is not a big one but when my husband is here on the weekends he eats

all the sweets, icecream and junk food and I have not will power to say no.

When he does eat all this stuff I usually go in the other room and do

something else. I know that can change this but sometimes I do not know

how. The other day he said to me I am just worried about your ssugar and I

came back with I really don't care. I do care and want to lose this weight

before I go to my daughter next fall and I know that I can do it.

If any one has any suggestions please feel to let me know.

Thanks for Listening.

I agree with Thea. If it isn't there you can't eat it. If you are shopping and really want a junky snack, buy a single 1-serving size. That way you get a little but can't indulge too much. Keep healthy alternatives in your home. I have kids, so we have to have snacks available. We keep yogurt, hard boiled eggs, nuts around. For a quick fix I eat a little peanut butter on a spoon. Hope that helps!Stacey Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device from STCFrom: "Thea Barbato" <tbarbato@...>Sender: 100-plus Date: Sun, 7 Aug 2011 19:47:17 -0400<100-plus >Reply 100-plus Subject: RE: I have a slight problem I would ask first, who buys the ice cream, sweets, and junk food?

Hello Donna and everyone------ I joined list awhile ago and have enjoyed reading all the messages but havent posted anything myself. I read this and know exactly how you feel. My remedy is get your own sweets, Weight watchers has all kinds of treats out there now days. Their ice cream treats are great and so are their cakes etc. I use all the products thru WW even alot of sugar free stuff which is really very good. My son and daughter are both diabetics so I dont have to worry about sweets now, but my son in law does this to my daughter and she struggles to lose weight. I think you could say no to his sweets if you allow yourself to have a few of your own treats---sure has helped me. I always say everything in moderation---why deprive yourself of foods you like and enjoy. I have finally realized that my weight loss comes down to portion control and if I crave it, have it in moderation and it works for me. I am losing weight slowly and thats the way to do it. I hope this helps you. My daughter is visiting me this fall and that is what I am working hard on, want to surprise her on losing weight. Oh forgot my name is in NYS. Hello to everyone out there.
