I think I am sabotaging myself. Every day this week I have had HUGE treats, once the kids go to bed. I've really upped my exercise and I think deep down I'm thinking that means it's ok for me to eat more. But it's backfiring. I'm not just staying even but instead gaining.
I guess it's good I'm exercising so as to not gain a drastic amount. But on the flip side I want, NEED, it to go down. I don't want to be chubby anymore, I DON'T.
I know what I need to do, I'm just scared to do it. NO MORE DESSERTS! I find if I don't eat even a little I don't crave it at all. I have to just get passed the initial temptation then I'm cool. Problem is, if I have 1 bite that's it, I eat it all and then some. AUGH!!! It's so frustrating.
Try chewing some gum or sucking on a mint when the sugar cravings hit. That's what our trainer told us, "better a few extra calories than a ton!" :) That seems to help me. I'm nut much of a gum chewer so it was hard a first but at least it keeps me out of the sweets for awhile :)
