[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Throwing out that I’ve Had a lot more luck removing all sugar than doing 25grams. I still get cravings if I’m eating some. Can I ask why 25 grams?[/quote]

I cut way back, but I can't imagine never eating any bread, a square of dark chocolate, a Kind bar, a lightly flavored yogurt, a quarter teaspoon of raw sugar on my oatmeal, a little whipped cream on my espresso etc. Daily, I keep it between 15 and 20g, but I feel miserable and deprived with nothing. I lost 40+ pounds, have kept it off and never needed to go to 0 sugar.

But I cant touch the Thin Mints or M&Ms if they're in the house. That would set off cravings. (I still get peanut butter M&Ms at the movies).

Different PP here and I’m the same. I struggle with what I guess is binge eating and a dessert or candy is really really hard to eat just a little for me, especially in the evening. Slightly sweet things like a yogurt don’t have the same effect. I ate terribly over the weekend and am committing to a really good day of no sweets or chips and lots of fruits and vegetables.[/quote]

Thank you! PP you responded to back here and I ate one piece of Valentine’s Day candy thoughtfully with my kids. I enjoyed it way more than the Girl Scout cookies so I should remember that. Over all I did well although I am sure I was over 25g with the candy and my emergency snack when I couldn’t get lunch until later than I wanted it. Am still adjusting to being back in the office sometimes with very limited options- had left my healthy snack at home on the counter…

Phew I made it. I nearly had candy cake of cookies (there is way too much of everything in my house!!) but I stayed strong and didn’t. Had a salad with lunch and fruit and tomato with dinner. Pretty good and better than I have done for several days.[/quote]

Terrific job! I hope a successful day builds into another. Personally, I struggle the most when there is stuff lying around. It kind of helps that DD is gluten free and her cake is dry and crumbly (though tasty) because it’s easier to stop eating it. I did feel a bit deprived without a single piece of candy for Valentines Day but it’s ok. I can have candy today if I really want it. [/quote][/quote]

Good for you! Good can be such a pain.

OP check in. Rough day. I had to go to the office, didn’t have time to pack food. Super busy all morning. Got starving. Ate a gross salad at lunch. Totally unsatisfying. Still starving. Came home around 2 PM. Had apple with PB and a glass of milk. Still starving. Husband brought toast with homemade soup but soup was over salted and inedible. Still starving. Ate some nuts and dried fruit. Hungry. Made hot chocolate and had piece of leftover cake. Finally not starving. Went to my side hustle tutoring job. Came home. Had strawberries and a bowl of corn Chex. Then spoon of PB with a couple chocolate chips. Definitely over for the day. All started by not prioritizing good food. Ugh. I feel yucky and disappointed. Maybe 50g today?

Tomorrow I’m home so should be ok. [/quote]
