Toast

I'm sure you all have had some sort of experience with this if you live with other people. My mornings are usually pretty easy. Easy to wake, easy to manage, easy to stick to my plan. One thing that is a distraction is my kids making their morning breakfast. Sometimes its just a piece of fruit or a scrambled egg, but a few times a week they will make toast. The SMELL of toast is intoxicating at this moment. I had to get on here and tell you guys that I'm fighting this and winning but the smell of toast is like smelling cake at this point. Wow. Its knocking me off my feet! I need to buy some more of my orange air freshner. I love that and the lime natural scents. Big heavy sigh, that's all folks. 

I think the further out you get the easier it is to avoid/not want those things.

Yesterday at work I made raisin toast (one of my favorites before RNY) for the kids as snack. Everyone was saying how it smelled so good in the room and they wanted it! I didn't. It smelled good, but I didn't crave it at all. I was fine.

I know some people eventually eat bread or toast, and they do fine. For me, I feel safer just avoiding it.

Exactly, safer is what I want too! You have great self-discipline. I'm still very careful of mine and I've secluded myself. I'm in corner of the house where the kitchen is farthest from me. Anything it takes right? heh. Btw, that might make me come undone, raisin toast. It's not in this house and grateful it's not. 

I stay at my dad's house, and he cooks toast - a LOT! I will sometimes have half a piece in the morning with an egg and sometimes a piece of bacon. It is whole wheat toast, and I don't have it every day, and if it was a trigger food for me, I would stay away.

Oh wow,  that's awesome you can include toast! I don't want to think about it, but perhaps a piece of ww could be a once in a  while treat. However, even just writing that sentence makes me cringe. It's a crack in my forcefield. I probably won't touch bread at all. 

LOL - I totally understand - like I said, if it's a trigger, it may be best to just stay away. Good luck to you!

I for one didn't have surgery to never eat certain things again. I've decided not to ban anything, or I'll want it more crave it more. For me, the rebel without a cause, have never done well with no.

I've had toast with no guilt, and the funny thing is I can't tell you the last time I had it. Allowing it occasionally seems to take the craving away for me.

We each have to do what works for us. I totally get the whole trigger thing though, pasta is something I have to limit to 10 noodles if it becomes a problem I will rethink banning something.

I have made French toast a couple of times and make two pieces, one for me and one for the dog with SF syrup.  It was a change from just eggs and I enjoyed it.  The only thing I have on my NEVER list is sugar.  I have decided to tell myself that I am one of the 30% who will dump, so I never eat anything with more than 2gr per serving.

Bread is on my NEVER eat list. Not because my NUT said I could not have it ever, it is just I can not handle it. I love it too much. I am sorry for you folks with kids and others that have to have it, I am not sure how well I could handle it, Those of you who are I congrtulate you. I can have hard bread stuff like soltine crackers and hard taco shells and have 4 crackers each night for my snack, and a hard taco shell once a week or so. But if I had yummy bread, I am afraid peanut butter and jelly on 4 or 6 slices would be next. I just can't stay away form it, and I know it.

I would be that way with pumpkin bread, so whole wheat only for me. And only store bought. Homemade bread would cause me to eat til I was sick. We all have some limitations if we're honest with ourselves.
