You don’t need ANY snacks. It’s a habit you’ve learned. Don’t have them in the house or car or bag either. If you feel you fancy a snack have a big drink of water or go for a walk or brush your teeth. I know you didn’t ask for advice and always tend to do the opposite anyway but hearing you have a SNACK DRAWER! was such a head slap moment. You are clearly such an intelligent woman which makes it so hard to understand.
I’ve had a chocolate, sweets and crisp addiction so when I went on my fat loss journey I stopped consuming them. No skinny bars, no small pk of air filled crisp snacks, not one sweet has passed my mouth in over a year now. It took me three months before I stopped thinking and craving. I eat real food now and keep away from anything that says ‘low fat’ or anything that has artificial sweeteners in. I have three meals a day and fruit in between
Sugar is as addictive as cocaine and it you can’t control eating these things it’s best to go cold Turkey because the cravings will eventually go. There’s no nutrition in this junk and you’re be doing yourself a favour 😊
There's a great saying - "I feel how I feel because I do what I do." Take action to address how you're feeling, rather than waiting/relying on feeling good and motivated, to make progress.
Carla, you are an intelligent woman. We all have emotions that can drive us to food or drink or drugs and use that as an excuse to binge. Get rid of the snack draw and get back to reading. Your community is with you and wishing you success but you do not help yourself one iota. Get a grip stop messing around or pack it in. You are wasting time.
So this weeks big idea to overcome decades of food addiction is to move the snacks from the bedroom to the kitchen.......100% that wont work........as difficult as it is for you not buying them in the first place is the real answer.
Except it's not. Because I tried that. What happens then is I go OUT to get something and end up buying MULTIPLE items because I can't choose, and then I eat them all.
I do the same thing. Just had 6 crackers and a pile of yoghurt and strawberries sitting in bed watching TV. It's the cosy secretive munching that sabotages the good intentions. Just leave those Twixes under the bed next time and l will stick with bananas. Happy Thursday xxxx
Read "Ultra Processed People" by Chris Van Tulleken. He explains how all the stuff in our food makes us 'emotionally eat' and how we can change things.
Yes. I read that book and it changed my whole attitude to food. I never buy anything processed now as everything contains the toxic rapeseed oil including bread! I make my own bread now when I fancy it and always read labels to stay away from those deadly ingredients. As for xanthan gum...yuk! When I found out what that was I felt sick - bleached vegetable slime rot ! It's in so many things.
Supermarket loaves are not real food, full of toxic additives and so are biscuits, cakes, ice-cream etc. Avoiding all those poisons now since reading thst book and I have lost a lot of weight as a result.
Ah brilliant. I am going to order this.... Thank you ❤
It's true, I stopped eating chocolate it was really hard but when I caved in after 2 months I actually didn't like the taste so I just don't bother with it now
if it's in your house, it's in your mouth
I admire your honesty Carla x
Just don’t buy the ‘bad ‘ foods. Simple as, if they r not in the house, you can’t eat them.
Don’t buy the snacks?
X
I have the exact same issues as you. So hard to break through. Wishing you luck Carla xx
Thank you so much for your honesty. You are asking yourself some good questions and have a good plan for the week- just a shame we can't always fathom our own behaviour!! Hopefully you have a good week whatever that means for you Carla x
I brush my teeth at 20.30 and it stops me snacking before bed.
Hi Carla, don't beat yourself up it only makes things worse ,love your honesty ,well done Tammy & well done Carla, you didn't gain 😊take care love Kathy xx
Oh Carla why would you buy a box twix when you on a diet you know you would eat them self harm yourself can’t sit their making excuses you did it come on you can do it xxx
Everyone is different Carla. I started listening to Slimpod in January (although I signed up to it the Jamuary before) and actually stuck with it. I also adopted the behaviours of someone who is already slimmer. I'm over 60 now so anyone who is slimmer , it's not by accident. For the first time in my life I have a positive attitude about my weight. I'm now 35lbs down, but I only weigh myself once every 2-3 weeks. I'm absolutely NOT on a diet. I just think about what is healthier for me. I'm now retired and so am having lunches out etc, but go for better choices. Sometimes I have a dessert, maybe once a fortnight, but it's the exception, not the rule. I've been dieting since I was 11 and this is the first time I feel any sort of control. Perhaps the weekly weigh-in is reinforcing the "diet" mentality in your head, which for me, always drove me to eat/crave more of the stuff I didn't need. I know you are going along the accountability route, but I wonder if this is the best option. I tried it many times, using friends and colleagues as witnesses, but it made my sense of shame about my weight much worse and then I ate more to cope with that feeling. I'm absolutely not saying this is how you feel, because I want nothing but the best for you and for you to feel comfortable and content. It's just a thought. 😊
I tried Slimpod but it did nothing for me.
We just can’t order goodies online. I ordered a box of 32 walkers crisps. It just makes me eat more, even though they are a bargain price . They didn’t last a week. Also I brush my teeth very early evening to stop me eating more
Maybe put the rest of the Twix in the freezer ? I totally get just eating out of habit and hope you have an easier week x
THAT'S an excellent idea!
This is me. I would eat them too. I intermittent fast now and my sweet tooth is waning. We’re addicted to food and our bad habits didn’t form overnight. It’s our brains that need rewiring not our mouths. Thanks for your honesty xx
New week ahead 😊… we are human not perfect xxx
A bargain is only a bargain if it is something you actually need, not want! Don't buy it in the first place! It is so hard watching you destroy yourself and your hard work. 😥
Carla, sweets and chocolates, crisps and fast foods. Totally boycotted them. Totally made up my mind, either get on plan or give the heck up on January 1st! I literally told my sister I am going to get groceries delivered, not eating out because I’ll find my way back into those fast food places. Florida has too many ways of really doing yourself in. My weight was 261.8 lbs. I last weighed in on Monday, this week. It’s 227.4 lbs. I still will not buy sweets, junk food like chocolates, crisps and no fast foods. I fouled up on all of February and half of March as I had previously told you. No one was more addicted to these foods than me. I do poorly on Calories. The US has no SW Groups so accomplishing this online. If I want something sweet, I eat some fruit, eat a sweet potato. I’m more stubborn than those lab created sweets. I don’t any longer blame myself at all for bad eating. Instead, I have the handbook, I have the lists of foods. I don’t go to Buffets. There are only a few restaurants where I can eat and lose weight and I don’t go out often. When you can get delivery, you can only order healthy and sensible groceries. You have to want to change your health, looks and frankly, your dress size. It’s more uplifting to lose the weight than a Twix or caramel, trust me! My blood pressure is a problem, had to go on meds. I randomly took it, 116/76. I checked my blood sugar randomly before dinner, it was 120. I’m on no Diabetes meds. Weight loss with a new focus. Be stubborn and be kind to yourself.
Brilliant comment x
for me i don't eat after my evening meal (that can be any time from 7pm-8pm), i will have decaf coffee or tea, and then breakfast is usually 11am-12pm, gives my blood sugar time to settle back down (i'm not diabetic but letting your body rest between meals is very good for you), i don't buy in snacks to have in the cupboard, for that road leads to ruin! i do have a treat day where i buy in only enough for that day (big bag if jellybeans and a big sharing bag of crisps is the usual, but i also skip lunch on that day) this gives me something to look forward to, but i do find having the refined sugar does affect me mentally, makes me snarky and agitated. i'm also pretty low carb with my meals (not counting the snack day) breakfast - 2 slices hovis granary wholemeal toast with margarine and cheese, lunch - a round of sandwiches with marg ham, tomato, lettuce mustard and an apple, and for dinner chicken breast or pork chop or sausages or burger done in the airfryer and a big salad (or 2 hash browns from the freezer that i'm trying to use up along with a frozen veg) this way works for me, mindless eating is the worst thing for anyone trying to lose weight, and that's why i don't bring those temptations into the house, so i think i'm around 1200-1400 calories a day, 6 days a week, lost 5lbs last month, around 1.5 stone in total since starting feb/march (i only weigh once a month), and i'm happy with that
Oh bless you, Carla, I feel your pain, if you have stuff going on, it’s hard. After surgery I’m being kind to myself this month, but trying to eat plenty of fruit, veg and fibre.
Good luck next week 🤗
I like your top. I couldn’t buy a box of Twix, I’d eat them. I don’t have anything in the house, just too tempting.
Don’t move the chocolate, bin it
Don't bin it. Maybe, when you buy these things, could you donate them to a food bank. ? This will, (maybe, ?? ) help with your 'negative feelings of self' that led to you buying them....just a thought. I've experienced the same as you, weight wise, and I've felt MUCH self hatred over the years. I needed to deal with those inner issues before I could start to eat in a healthier way. Well done, because you're exploring your reasons for buying the chocolate x Best wishes on this journey
I watch your channel because you keep it real...I appreciate you and your journey ❤
If you find yourself reaching for food out of habit or boredom, stop yourself when you notice and do something else and eventually it will break it
Oh Carla, i've got everything crossed that you will have a good week 😊 you know what to do about the snacks 😊 try and get your head in the right place and good things will follow. You did it once and you can do it again ❤
Sometimes if you are not in the right mindset it’s so bloody hard !!! You just have to try your best and take each day (that’s what I do anyway!!) why don’t you have a bedtime tea before you go to bed ?May help?? good luck and well done on the maintain 🎉xxx
Love your honesty Carla xx
Good luck Carla for this week, sending lots of positive vibes ❤
Ban yourself from buying snacks. My brother has cut out all pastry. Eating protein yogurts and chicken / turkey to fill him up more.
As you know, food can be just as much an addiction as heroin. I know that sounds unreasonable but it’s been said to be true. Breaking an addiction is difficult. Keep trying. Don’t give up. ❤
Food itself is needed for fuel and to survive. Heroin isn’t needed at all. Sugar and processed foods though - yes they can be addictive
I understand yr struggles.
Some brilliant strategies to crack habits! Hope it goes well Carla and the family stuff settles down.
My weeks been like that too.Its Twix and Wagon wheels with me.I was going to have 1 treat a day but no I've had a few.Im going to try and snack on hard boiled eggs instead.Emotoonal eating and habit are hard to kick . Xx.
Good idea to remove the snack drawer, hopefully a good week next week! X
i Get it and those Twix bars are very nice and a bargain !! 😂 Fingers crossed for next week x
I am currently listening to Atomic Habits by James Clear who talks about how to encourage constructive habits and discourage destructive habits … now if I could just get my enabling, grocery shopping and cooking husband onboard 😂 but hang on 🤔 that would mean I would have to do the grocery shopping and cooking 😮
I love that book
Hi Carla, I'm glad you're back to trying to crush those calories! It wasn't a gain, so that's good news. You're an intelligent woman, that's why I like watching you. You recognise your issues with food and emotional eating, so I'd like to ask you: Have you ever or would you, seek out therapy to learn the tools to help you improve your situation? I'm a chocoholic, seriously, but 17 choccy bars in a week!? An addiction is an addiction, no matter what it is. I feel like you could really benefit from some type of counselling - not a dietitian. Good idea to lose the snack drawer, and make a no eating in your bedroom rule. I know you don't want to hear it, but that pepsi max has got to go! Also, diet pop makes your body hold onto fat and not want to let it go, so drinking it just makes you have to work harder to lose it and keep it off. It's counter-productive. As you know, you're fighting yourself. I want to see you win! Please, don't be mad or discouraged, we really are cheering for you!
Well done for admitting what’s wrong and making a plan to move forward ❤

Why buy the chocolate, if it's not in the house you won't be so tempted xx
Hi Carla, well, you have now inspired me to crack on with my weight loss using my RUclips channel, like you, to talk about my journey. I’m calling myself the fat barber ( not my channel name) because I am, so thank you for the motivation 💈
It is so hard but you are aware of it which is the key thing, I also brush my teeth earlier on in the evening xx keep going you are doing great by being accountable xx
Yes you are so right it is habit , habits are hard to break but you can do it 😊
Oh dear you know where you have gone wrong and you have escaped the weight gain , maybe hormones are some of the blame but snacks are the rest , go carla you can do it xx
I'm an evening picker too. As soon as we've had dinner, it's as if a switch is turned on and I'm away. I'm the heaviest I've even been and so fed up with it. I buy clothes that sort of fit, instead of clothes that I really like. I feel drab. I look at everyone else and think I'm bigger than them. I don't go out walking or to gyms, as I have social anxiety. I know no-one can do it for me, but it's so hard to get motivated to do the right thing. I can't even do exercise at home that involves moving about as I'm in an upstairs flat and the floors creak with every step! Anyone got a magic wand?
Well done Carla dont do it again whatever you do could creep up again however i binge occasionally and have done for a year and half and weigh 2 stone less then i did a year and half a go at the mo 12. 9 stone loss so can be done and a size 8 keep it up 🌼
Hi Carla
Creating better habits is a small thing that works for weight loss.
I will always have choc bics crisps in but i have them in another room where u have to go & not easy to reach. If i want them most days its planned so cant eat mindlessly. Although i can still troff at times i just dont do it as much when the stuff was in easy reach.
I got this tip from tv a few years ago. I watch the Zoe channel & hearing that the dr & prof who were slim also have to do the same thing made me feel better for some reason.
If you have a cut off & start time of at least 12 hours when u eat this will help give ur stomach a rest & u get some control back over food.
Finally at meal times fill up on protein fibre & fats they really do stop the cravings to eat between meals & maybe have proper choc or treats that u can fit in ur calories.
These are things that have worked for me & they really help so thought id share as ur struggles have help me🙏🏽
I know how you feel carla, i havent got an off button..i just buy a small bar. I would eat a bix of maltesers and eat them all even though i feel sick halfway through !!! Good luck girlie, you will do it xx❤
Keep going, life is full of ups and downs. X
Well done for STS. Maybe write a journal at bedtime..or grab a good book. Get those treats out of the bedroom..lock them away in a small safe, or ask Tammy to keep them away from you in the evenings...Good luck for the coming week..
😂I'm the same snackstash in bedroom but it wouldn't work puttin it in kit hen cause I'd just shout tue kids to grab stuff for me lol and I watch tele in bedroom as well oops I remember when people didn't have em in there rooms maybe we should take the tele out also 😢❤
I think that’s a good result given the chocolate - I can’t have a snack drawer otherwise I would have to refill it every day. My partners chocolate mini rolls are put on a top shelf in the kitchen that I can’t reach - he’s 6ft 4 inches and I’m not 😂😂 - it’s such a blooming struggle every day to make the right choices but as always I am cheering you on. 😊😊
Just stop making excuses
I'm not making excuses, I'm exploring the reasons why I do what I do. I suggest you don't watch if you can't deal with that.
@@CarlaJenkins I wont
Carla - can i for one say, thank you for being so honest. So many of us struggle like you and see success stories and downward trends and that’s great. But. Many of us struggle - it’s refreshing to think I’m not the only one. Emotional upheaval is such a hard thing to navigate. You can do this. Just keep going. Ups and downs and all. Much love xxx
Currently, keeping snacks in the car, so can take only a daily portion into the house. Making snacking harder seems to help, as I dislike putting shoes on, if it is raining; I'm not sure what will happen if we have a heatwave, though? ....... perhaps, a chocolate mess?!
Hope the worries settle and you have a calmer week.
I’m a late evening muncher too. I just have a need for something. I buy ‘treats’ which are ok one at a time but then I eat 3 of them! It’s like a comfort habit for me! Definitely an emotional eater myself. I don’t think people understand unless they are in the same situation. It’s hard.
👍👍😊
Whew, lucky maintain Carla. Hope this week is better and you and Tammy both reach your one stone loss next week 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Just wondered how you felt after you disclosed the twix bar consumption. This is not a criticism Carla as I followed you for 4 years and I too also have weight issues . To put it into context, I'm your Mum's vintage and my legs have always caused a problem. Now getting worse so my motivation and determination to get fitter is working as I want to remain mobile. As always Greetings from Liverpool. Take Care 🙏 🕯 for your intentions x
Sugar addiction? In my humble opinion just as bad as any other addiction….and just as hard to kick…. In my humble opinion ☹️☹️
Try try again!
I self sabotage myself I've noticed, when I lose some weight, I will, for whatever "mind" reason, I gain more weight, it's nutzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz lol
Thanks for sharing Carla!
Good luck on next weeks calorie crush!
Hey Carla , could it be that time of month that changes your food pattern ? Maybe . Any kind of healthy eating is harder to put into action.dont dwell on it and move on i believe in you .xx
After a really bad dose of Covid I lost my lifetime "sweet tooth". Obviously, that's not to be recommended 😂. My love of cheese is my downfall, especially living in France.....! I'm always hungry at night, because i have terrible insomnia. Instead of my giant , nightly cheese butties AND crisps 😢😮, I now make a large salad, with a little grated cheese and a boiled egg ( protein's essential for weight loss) and I put it in a tupperware box in the fridge. I eat this if im hungry at night, And I'm shocked to find I'm sleeping better AND losing weight..... sometimes I dont even eat it at night, so have it for the next days lunch. Weight loss is hard for us all. A bummer that its so easy to put it on, often unnoticed, yet hard to lose 😢 Trial and error, and just restarting the HEALTHY EATING .(lose the diets, folks), if we have a blip.... that's what i try to do. Sometimes i win, sometimes i lose 🤷None of us deserves to hate ourselves, We all are beautiful, and worthy of self love, at the end of the day x
Have you a lock box to put the chocolate into than give the key to the kids
I have some real issues with snacks if I have them I’ll eat them. Self sabotage?????
Hi Carla i saw those chocolate bars to i fancied the mars ones an i did look at them an how cheap they were i was tempted but im calorie counting too an i remembered that last year an what i did i saw on Amazon a box of good priced chocolate bars an yes i bought them an ate most of them its life carla don't beat yourself up draw a line under it an move on that's what i try an do you had a maintain that's good i doubt you've done any damage i went to a vintage car show on Saturday an they had Donuts there with all different fillings an flavours it was £3.50 each or 3 for £10 yep i caved in an bought 3 but on Sunday i went straight back on track you & tammy are doing brilliantly so well done to you both and we can do this im 8wks in an ive lost half a stone since i started in april . Xxx
I'm in a 2lb on, 2lb off cycle 😔 this week I've gained back the 2lb I lost the week previous... again!! 😥 this has to change for me so gonna go heavier on the speed food and see if I can break the cycle. Good luck... onwards and downwards x
I did this, and it's torturous and frustrating. I initially gained weight because I was on Medical Steroid Therapy. The side effects are awful , and include BIG weight gains. My mother took photos of me, without my knowing, at my biggest and sent them to the whole family. They then all mocked me, calling me a "big ,fat, lazy b*****d". (Now, I'm several stone lighter , for having cut them ALL from my life 😂) I stopped treatment, and realised I'd gained from a size 16 (UK) to 28. It slowly went. Now I'm size 18, but don't weigh myself because I have a history of Anorexia Nervosa . I'm eating better, but found ( for me) the key is increasing water consumption. This helps weight loss hugely. Maybe you could try that? Just a suggestion, to try to help. Good Luck.
@@jacqueline8559 omg that's horrendous! Sending love x
❤❤xx
Keep going, Carla.
♥️🌸😘
Morning Carla, you have been lucky not to put any thing on this week like you said your a cake eater and no that is your falling think it may be that you should have that slice of cake just a slice lol then you may not eat the sweet things to compensate for not having the cake I'm addicted to chocolate so can not have it in the house in any form even the skinny bars as I can not just have one bar IV seen me eat the lot in one go,at the moment I'm in the fast of pound 2lb on take it off then the next week it's back on and I'm not over my calories so I don't no I'm going to try to eat more veg this week see if that helps me keep going that's all we can do ❤😊x
I would eat the whole box of Twix in a few days if they were in my house (well, if I could eat gluten that is) it’s just too tempting when they are there. I would be thinking Ima, bound to eat them anyway in the end, so what’s the difference? We trick ourselves quite easily when our willpower is low! I would suggest buying chocolate bars singley 1 per day so if you want a second one you have to walk to the local shop to get it. That way the effort may put you off, or the price of 80p-£1 a bar?
I am terrible for snacking at night when I am sat in bed reading, it feels like a treat. I think for me the trick may be to not sit down when I come in from work but get on with housework or something else I always put off doing, for a few hours, instead of deciding I ‘deserve’ a rest and a munch on crisps and chocolate and whatever else I can get my hands on
Well Done trying to break the habit though - hopefully it will work for you. No more bulk buying chocolate though as that’s just too tempting or tortureous!
Don’t buy the naughty stuff.You are brave to admit to your downfall .
Ok carla, so you over did the Twixes. Forgive yourself, and make sure you don't make the same mistake again. Must try harder, learn from your mistakes. Xx
Carla I love your honesty, i hope all the commenters criticising are Perfect Peters in all aspects of life. You didn't have to tell us about your blip, but the fact that you did means you've faced up to it and can move on to a fresh week. All the best for a great result next week ❤
Hello Carla you are doing your best and you answered all your questions love Annie ✨
The negatives comments aren’t needed. Carla knows what she is doing is wrong and she’s the only one who can change it.
Carla, if you are doing your best then that's all you can do. You've lost loads of weight before, and you will again. Stick at it, you have to be in the right head space to diet, and at the moment you're not. Keep going girl!! XX
Well done on the maintain. Perhaps you didn’t gain because you were still in calories? Just because you ate the choc doesn’t mean you over ate calorie wise. I have been hungry and snacky this week and I think if I had that box I would have eaten them all at once! I am trying hard to not think of foods as good and bad and if I want a snack I will have one. I would move the snacks as at least then you get extra steps in getting them 😂
At least it wasn’t a gain Carla. Good luck this week hun. ❤xx
Hi Carla. Im a new Subscriber, who is really loving watching all your Vlogs. You have successfully lost weight before. This time, you just dont seem to have found your ' inner 'motivation ' YET. The part of you that helped you to stick with it , before. Dont feel bad.! We've all experienced the ' eating things we shouldnt,' then the self recrimination that makes us eat more of it! I prefer to think 'all things in moderation ', NOBODY here will be judging you. So , maybe think of ONE thing, thats going to be so wonderful in your life, when youve lost 7lb. And a none food related treat , you can give yourself , after every 7lb .lost? Bite sized challenges. YOU'VE GOT THIS !
If only it was as simple as ‘don’t buy it, don’t eat it’ we would all be at our ideal weight. I think people who don’t have this kind of issue with food simply wouldn’t understand and therefore get frustrated…. That’s me being kind. Your idea of moving your snacks is an excellent one, I think they are too conveniently situated and probably call you from the drawer. You must have done something right to have maintained this week so just put it behind you, don’t let the negativity get to you and simply plod on. ❤x
@@minovin And then you learn nothing about control. Out of control eating is not about one food stuff, if you are not in control you will eat foods you don’t even particularly like. What most of us are striving for is mindful eating. Food addiction is the one and only addiction where you have to partake in the source of the problem or you will die. It’s very complex and not as simple or as easy as you state it is.
@@minovin You’ve not grasped my reply at all. Sometimes these things aren’t so simple as black and white. I didn’t eat sugar for over a year and it did nothing for my relationship with food…. I ate cheese instead. Of course if they weren’t there you can’t eat them, however, when that monster is in your head you would just eat something else instead. Having food stuff in your house and not over indulging is the ultimate control and is the healthy relationship with food that most of us are striving for.
@@minovin At no point has it been stated that buying the twix was a fabulous idea, but again my points are just going over your head. You clearly cannot empathise with this issue and it’s all very black and white for you so we may as well move on. I am rather baffled why you bother watching calorie crush.
@@minovin You are correct losing weight isn’t complicated but, depending on the individual, it can be very complex. For some people you remove one thing and it’s replaced by something else, sometimes even food stuffs that you don’t particularly like… So not so simple as just don’t buy it, just don’t eat it, that statement sound very blasé and obviously for someone with a healthier relationship with food it probably is that easy. But, for others those comments can have a detrimental effect. Everyone, including Carla, knows buying those snacks and having easy access to them was a bad move and Carla has stated her plans to curb this snacking. As to whether she should cut sugar out completely, it’s a tough one, didn’t help me and where do you draw the line because carbs and fruit can trigger as well.
@@minovin I didn’t say it’s better to buy them if you struggle with moderation. I honestly think it’s difficult to understand unless it’s the road you’ve travelled, the psychology around it is very complex. What I do know is that if items are purchased they would be purchased with good intentions of moderation in mind, sometimes that works out and other times not. Equally Im sure there are times that purchases are thought twice about and declined.
I know you are not the only one, I think it was the use of the word ‘simple’ that made me respond. Anyway, we will move on as there’s no point in either of us keep banging the same drum.
The 90 calorie fibre snacks are handy when you fancy something sweet and there are rice cakes with a thin coating of choc (in a purple packet) only 56 calories each. I reach for these in the evening when I need a snack. Good luck with next weeks weigh in. You are doing your best and that's all that matters! Xx
Does your Gp not refer you to the healthy eating programme , turns out my thyroid was not working and I don’t drink enough water . A nutritionist calls you to help answer the why and alternatives for sugar craving but not buying in the 1st place . I am told it takes 2/3 weeks to cut sugar out completely but like you I have cut most sweet stuff but still struggle and I have not lost any weight . I have found aqua aerobics. Dry helpful for painful legs .
Carla, why not start and try do 2 good days at a time and work from there.
Crikey, some of the comments on here… Just keep trying your best Carla, it’s always going to be a hard road, with highs and lows but keep going. I have started my own calorie crush journey this month and can tell you that despite all your struggles, you’re still my inspiration as you keep it real. You’ve got this girl ❤️
Couldn't agree more 😊
Which means you can still eat nice yummy food but not gain loads, enjoy life and your food, you don't gain weight but gain memories 😊
So much unsolicited negativity in the comments. Hope you have a better week as a family x
So many unhelpful and negative comments from people who clearly have their lives all worked out. No issues for them, nothing that needs any improvement. If only it was that easy for the rest of us mere mortals. It's a wonder there are any overweight/alcoholic/drug addicted people in the world when all they need to do is tell themselves 'no' and not to buy the offending substance. Why have they been keeping this secret to themselves all this time? Ffs.
Virtue signalling it's called 😂
I didn't know there was a term for it. I thought it was just self-satisfied unbearable smugness 😂
Good luck this coming week to get back on it…….you can do it. x
