Can't stop eating sweets!

[maccheese]

I have started hitting the treadmill and realized that reducing the sweets I eat, will kill off some of these extra calories. I'm being conscious of the sweet drinks and sodas and have stopped picking up candy from the school bookstore every day.

OMG, the girl scout cookies came in and about three parents hit me up. So I probably have 6 boxes or so. I'm going to have to give them away. I just enjoyed a half box of Samoas over the last 3 hours. And someone at my job just put Krispy Kreme donuts in the break room.

I'm really going to have to overcome this sweets thing if I want to reach my weight loss goal.

I'm the same way with sweets! Lol. I stopped drinking soda years ago though. Just try to start substituting different things when you have a sweet tooth. Like fruit, and they even have those low calorie snacks in the grocery store. Some of them are even made with chocolate. It will help with the sweet tooth and it's better for you.

Haha Same here I've heard its because I'm having a girl but whatever the reason I feel the need to have sugar ALL OF THE TIME!

I am a junk food addict! Chocolate, cake, cookies, pies, etc. I'm trying to cut back though so that I can lose weight. How much are u trying to lose?

[maccheese]

Right now, about 25 lbs by next January. I would like to strive for more, but my schedule is crazy so I can only work out a few days per week. I figured I'd go for 2lbs per month. I really could stand to lose more.

Temptation all around you lol. They dead wrong for that krispy kreme though that's just something you can't just walk by. Try not to eliminate it altogether just reduce how much you eat so you don't feel like ur punishing urself. overtime it'll be alot easier. Also if u like chocolate eat dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate its better.

Sorry, not much help given that I am a bonafide junk food junkie!  Never even experienced a sugar rush until, that is, I ate Krispy Kreme donuts for the first time this pass October.  I counted nine.  But the experience of wanting to climb a wired fence by my fingernails...doing a somersault...then starting all over, was enough for me!  I didn't know...just didn't know!

I have problems with sweets and junk food too. I'm giving up soda and candy for lent. Hopefully this will start me in the right direction.

 Girl, I just put up a post about these darn munchkins that a representative left here at our office.  I just hid them from myself!

I'm trying to lose 50 pounds by September. As far as working out I've got to figure that out.

 Sweets *were* my biggest problem.  I went 49 days without any sugar, in any form.  If I can do it anybody can do it!  And I lost 18 pounds from just cutting out the sugar and turning down my appetite thermometer (eating smaller portions) .  I am confident I will be to my goal weight in the next couple of months.  Hang in there, it is hard but well worth it - your health deserves it :)

BTW - I ate sweets for the first time this past weekend (chocalate chip cookie sundae from WildFire) and I promise I could only stand a few bites.
