relying on out of sight, out of tummy

I keep everything and anything in my pantry...candy (lots of varieties), cookies, chips, crackers,,,you name it and it's in my pantry.  And did I mention my pantry is 10 feet long and 5 feet wide???  It's like a small convenience store!!  My family eats all this crap and guess what, I do to.  But nothing makes me go into a binge.  I can eat 2 MnM's and walk away and not think about them for days even though they are the first thing I see when I walk in there.  So yes, I keep loads of crap, but I buy my family's favorites so at least they will eat it up and it won't go stale.

Laura, that is impressive.  I remember the first M&Ms I tasted as a post-op, they were way too sweet and had sort of a wet carboard-y smell/taste to them.

now, I could eat 2 and walk away but I could NOT stop thinking about them.

I bow down to you! 


once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

I wish I could get my sweet cravings under control. MWG told me low vit D causes sweet cravings.

I just had  mine done again. I started out with 30, went on Vita Lady's 50,000 once per week, and it went up to 80. Just had it done again and it's down to 60. I don't know why. I am going to increase it though.

I can't be around sweets. I just can't. My best friend ( who is diabetic and sleeved btw) loves to bake cookies and brownies.  It's gotten to where I can't go to her house anymore. If I have one, I will have  an entire baking sheet/pan full. The sleeve does not seem to control portions of cookies or candy.

It's almost like I can't leave the house and go anywhere if I know sweets will be served. I need to find some willpower somewhere.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. I watched a tv show where he said to picture them covered in worms. That did not work for me!

that sounds pretty bad - I wish I had an answer for you!  do you eat good carbs? maybe your body would be happy having some bean or fruit or something? I seem to remember you are doing very low carb, is that right?

For sweet cravings try supplementing with chromium and L-glutamine.. it really helps me.

I used to be a sweetaholic but now I prefer salt...go figure.  I never think abut sweets anymore, even if there is a cake on the counter and I have no problem throwing a whole cake right in the trash!
