Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Kris, Good for you, for stocking up on the low-point snacks. I've found that it's critical to have substitutions that I really enjoy instead of the trigger foods. Hopefully it will also help you to get back to eating more frequently. That sure does work for me. Someone has said that when our focus softens or we feel like we're getting off track, we need to " start over " -- meaning, go back to the zeal and approach we had when we first started. Sometimes it helps to look at our old journal pages (yes, I have every single page since Day One!) to see how we were successful back then. I know that you know how to do this..... the move has just shifted your attention. But you're getting it back, I can tell!! Bette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I agree, Bette. When I have gotten to this point, I try to take my slider to the grocery store for some leisurely shopping to find new things to try. It does seem to help the boredom. Or, I will set a new goal, or read up on success stories online. As far as stocking up, I agree that finding equivalents really helps. When I buy my hubby Drumsticks, I buy myself WW Big ice cream cones, if he gets ice cream sandwiches, I get skinny cows. This keeps me from looking longingly at his treats wishing I could eat what he does. I've just learned about myself, though, that if it's near hormonal time, I shouldn't stock up on treats. If I have a bunch of different treats around during TOM I want to have one of each of them. I can really get out of control. I've learned that I just need something chocolaty in single servings when I'm feeling hormonal. (Sorry, men, TMI, I know) Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
