[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a PP. Interestingly I typically focus on not eating any sweets like cookies or candy or baked goods (aside from planned splurge with my kids) but a couple times recently I’ve been like of this thin mint only has 4 grams of sugar or whatever. And then I eat several. I’m wondering if even the 25g limit is too much for me. A couple times I sort of moderately binged (ate more than I was happy about) so maybe I have to go back to my usual approach. I really struggle to have just one cookie or whatever.[/quote]

I’m OP. I completely relate to what you’re saying. The problem was that I couldn’t maintain the zero sweets thing and also I glossed over the other places added sugar crept into my diet (granola, yogurts). Four thin mints hwve 9g total of added sugar so even 8 of them is under the goal. I’m curious if you’re actually tracking to the 24g or just beating yourself up. I know I can have a bag of peanut M&M’s and still be ok for the day if I plan. I also never tell myself that I will never go over. But only that when I do, it’s for a good reason (niece birthday, delicious bakery treat). I know different strategies work for different people so you have to do what works for you. I encourage you to count grams and plan a day with less than 25 g. For me having a limit makes the rules more clear. Good luck! As you know, any reduction is good. [/quote]

I’ve been tracking but not obsessively. I had pancakes with my kids and didn’t measure the syrup, for example. But I’m actually up a couple pounds so I probably need to be more careful than I am in general. I get really hungry so for me to lose weight I can’t afford even 150 calories from Thin Mints regularly despite them being a reasonable amount of sugar. I have to essentially only eat high satiety foods. I think it’s a great goal I just need to be maybe a little bit more careful with everything else too.[/quote]
