I feel the need to write this here because there isn't really anyone else I feel comfortable saying this to and I just need to get it out.
I am a food addict. My whole life I've had a poor relationship with food. I haven't had any severe emotional traumas, no abuse, I have a great family, I had a great childhood (besides being overweight and teased occasionally).
But I just love sweets. I can't stop thinking about them, especially if I'm bored. And it's even worse that I love to bake. So I sit and think of all the concoctions that I can make, all the recipes that are available on the internet.
Fortunately I love to workout, and working out will help to reduce the cravings. So I have managed to keep my weight down. But I gained so much weight during my pregnancies because I was afraid to work out and I had the "green light" to eat whatever I wanted.
I don't really know why I'm writing this. I just have to get it out that I ALWAYS have this intense craving for sweets. For cookies and ice cream and cake. I think in my head about times when I will be alone so I can binge with nobody watching. I make plans for my alone time days in advance just so I can satisfy that craving.
I wish there was some magical hypnosis that would remove these cravings from my head. But unfortunately it's not that easy.
So I am just taking it day by day. The keto diet is helping me b/c at least I am able to eat some flavorful things like cheese and butter. I don't have to stick to eating bland chicken breasts every day, lol.
But that little voice is always in the back of my head, telling me to eat all the things. Someday I hope to snuff out that voice for good.

I know exactly what you are saying. Absolutely knowing what is right and then not doing it always. Wanting what you know is bad for you and hating that you want it. Caving in and not having a clue why you did. I've lived that my whole life as well, with a wonderful family and no real trauma. Nothing to blame it on. You are doing fantastic though, more than 30 pounds down, congratulations!

I know exactly what you are experiencing, because I have the same tendencies. I started with a pact with myself that I will not go over 6 tsps of sugar a day. That includes any sweets that I might be having, including soda. So far I have had just a few slips, and when I did slip I worked out extra.

Soda. That's a killer. I once watched a news story about sugar in soda. If you have an empty glass that will hold one can of soda, you would fill that puppy to the top with sugar cubes. That's how much sugar is in a can of soda!

Now that I've been on Keto for about 5 months, the cravings have eased, but I still think of ways I can indulge... The difference now is, it's not so mentally consuming. One thing that helped tremendously was scouring the internet for low carb versions of foods I love. Some, I found and acceptable substitute, some I did not, but the research filled my time and expensed that energy. Also, check out this website:

I'm with you, girl! Great job admitting it - being honest about my "sneak eating" takes the wind out of the sails of my overeating, and helps get me back to basics of keto!

I have had my stomach stapled and gastric bypass and I'm still overweight. I'll be honest. I have just started Saxenda 15 days ago and have had better results so far than I had with my surgeries. It's still new to me so idk the long term results but I'm happy to tell you about the cost and how I got my dr to prescribe it and my insurance to cover it. My only side effect has been a dry mouth and I'm down from 220 to 207.4. I'll help you any way I can. Ann
