"if you dont buy it....
That is exactly what I try for Alexa. My problem is my kids have been home on break for summer and my daughter has been doing the shopping. I have banned certain items from coming into the house. Doesn't make me very popular, but I admit sometimes self control just leaves me--especially those times of the month.
ohh yeah.... i do the grocery shooping in my house.. and the boys want all that junk... so i get them a few things and thats it.... and then they get all pissy and you know the rest... so... this is my brothers new fav thing... he eats a doughnut right in front of me telling me how good it is... my other brother didnt think that was to funny today... and knocked him a good one.... LOL i hear ya bout the monthly thing... for some reason around that time apple juice is high on the weakness list

I am 5 days post-op and just did my first trip to Publix. WOW... that was a little harder than I thought it would be. They were giving samples of everything....
Alexa....I did about the same thing. I would look at the food, but think about how much I've gone through to have surgery...and it worked!!!

Hi Jen--You got your pic up on the mb! That is great. Now we can see who we are talking to. You know what you write about thinking about what we went through to get the surgery is what kept me on the straight and narrow for a long time--that and fear of failing. Good for you out and about to Publix so soon. Good luck.
We're on the same page, too, Alexa! I also went shopping today and didn't buy any nuts, popsicles, SF Frappaccino bars, protein bars or any other food that while acceptable, I just don't need. I get plenty at my meals and don't need to be eating anything in between except for taking in my water!! Thanks for saying it, though!!
