HELP!!!

[Frumpy Mummy]

Does anyone have any tips on how to beat the chocolate demons please? Ive already ate 6 jaffa cakes earlier and I can feel the urge coming on again and I just have zero willpower

When i have a craving for something i try to imagine the item covered in something gruesome like spiders or bugs... completely kills my craving for that time Or if its something particularly bad like takeaway i put a couple of pounds in a piggy bank and think of the money i saved as well as the points i have saved too

Worse comes to worse, have the jaffa cake.. sooner they are gone from the house the less temptation there is for the rest of the week.

The way I am for choc i'd prob eat it bugs and all! Thanks for the tip though, might be worth a try

 

[Nemesis82]

Whatever you do though, dont let the guilt build up. Ok you had the biscuits but tomorrow is a new day and move on from it. Good luck!

 

[Frumpy Mummy]

Aww thank you, that is so right. Good luck to you to x

Yes I completely agree with Nemisis. It's really hard to forgive yourself I find, and this is something we have to learn to deal with for the rest of our lives (or at least I do).

I would write a list of what I ate on Monday to make you feel better but I daren't admit to the whole lot. lol.

I hope things are ok. You can do it.

I must admit I tucked in to a couple of leftover Halloween sweets last night, I felt crap after it but today is a new day, I have dusted myself off and started again! Dont dwell on it x

 

[Frumpy Mummy]

What about some nutella spread on slice WW bread, toasted. When I was on TFR I used to have a nice hot bubbly bath & read magazines while there. This distracted me as I used to look at "thin" clothes.

I have a nut allergy so nutella is out but thanks. Lovely bubble bath sounds good though

I think a lot of people find that a WW hot chocolate hits the spot I am not a huge sweet person (would rather have cheese and lots of it!) but have heard this from other posts! Do you go to meetings? You can get some of the chocolate bars from there that are 2-3pps and are pretty good xxx

I agree - I'm a big fan of 'if you can't beat em, join em!'. Fun size Mars bars are only 2pp (for the 20g ones) and if you keep them in the freezer, then slice them thin before eating they seem to last for ages.

That's exactly what I do. Slice it then freeze it. It lasts a whole lot longer x

Mini bag of malteasers is only 3 points and u can make em last for ages if u suck em x

 

[evieshrinking]

what about some dark chocolate - break up into squares and freeze. I keep meaning to do this but never remember.

 

[whoopsadolly]

Smarties r really gud too. Sad but I can make them last for ages and ages! X
