[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In addition to the PPs' suggestions, it helped me for my "treats" to just not be easily available. No ready-to-eat sweets around the house at all. Sure, I have sugar and flour and baking ingredients, and on the weekend I might bake a half batch of cookies for my kids and have one for myself, but most nights I'm not going to start up the KitchenAid when a craving hits at 10pm. (If a sleeve of Oreos were in the house, though...watch out.)

Same with booze. We have wine in the house, but I'm not going to crack open a whole bottle just because I'm a little thirsty watching TV. With hard alcohol around, it was just a little too easy to pour a little more, or have one more "splash."

As for movement, it needs to become part of your life. I personally didn't do well with multi-week challenges (because they end!), and it took me YEARS to be consistent, but a half hour or an hour of morning "movement" -- I won't even call it a workout -- is now a constant part of my life, every single day.

I can’t relate to this at all. I am skinny but if I bake a batch of cookies “for my kids” I’m eating a bunch of the dough and all the cookies that I can get away with. And if there is alcohol in the house, I drink it. PP you have a lot of self restraint and probably don’t have binge or compulsive eating issues like OP and myself have.

PP you sound like me where you really have to kick your sugar addiction. I know people like to hate on keto but it’s the only thing that works for me to reset my obsessive thinking around food and sweets in particular. You sound like a lovely person who is WAY too hard on herself. I would suggest CBT for changing that inner critic and think about keto even tough it’s tough to do when you’re also feeding a family.
