Does everyone else make a commitment each week?? When I first started, I was so motivated that I didn't need to, but as the weeks went by I found that the commitment each week really did help! - but alas I am failing my first one... May be I made it just too hard!
My commitment for this week??? To stop picking at food... Stop all of the licks, popping one biscuit in my mouth of the kids, just a little bit of cheese... All of the little tastes that happen throughout the day, Jack, my husband, loves cheeses and smallgoods such as kabana and salami - so they are still in the house all of the time. The kids got lolly bags over the weekend and I have found myself so many times in the pantry just having one... The another and before you know it I am feeding them to the chook so to avoid them totally!! (Kids really don't need them anyway!)
When I first embarked on WW - I was so good at all of the little tastes, but I need to stop it again before it really becomes a bad habit!
Any suggestions to put this a bay??? When the kids are in care on Wednesday, it isn't an issue. As I eat when I want to and I haven't have to have kids eating lunch between sleeps and constant snacks (Pizza shapes are my current favorite)
It is really frustrating me that I can seem to stop when I really want to - - Is that like a smoker trying to quit???
I have over pointed a lot of my snacks like these today - to try and put me off eating them.
Kids are in care tomorrow so I will be good tomorrow - I promise.

sorry I don't make the weekly commitments but it might be something i start when I head back tonight!
Jsut wanted to say a huge belated congratulations for reaching your goal weight :)
i occasionally get the nibbles, but i dont really make commitments each week, or if i do its more about the exercise instead of the food. but i know i try and snack on carrot and celery during the day at work, it makes me feel like im eating but its not to bad
Having kids must make this quite difficult. I find it hard enough with my boyfriend! He too is partial to kabana etc. He can eat an entire packet of sakatas and then have dinner (and maintains a very lean/and muscle clad body too, which is even more annoying) I find that he offers me stuff and I find it really hard to say no. I try not to snack at all, and to be honest - I think a lot of the time we only snack because its a habit.
Jodie has excellent advice for beating the snack attacks!
I know this probably doesn't apply to you anymore, seeing you're at goal now, but when I get the urge to snack, I say to myself, before I put it in my mouth "is eating this really worth putting off reaching goal by one or two weeks?" And nine times out of ten it just isn't.
Maybe Jack could get his own fridge for his salami and kabana snacks?! heh heh
It's a tough one. Especially as you are at goal. You are allowed to have a few more points now. Unfortunately the points contained in finishing off a Happy Meal is probably a whole days worth!
And don't you find that after you do that, you think that it just wasn't worth it anyway.. I know I do. It seems we are all in a bit of a snack-attack rut at the moment.
I think you will work this out by employing the same tactics you put into place at the beginning. Remember what they were and try them again (and then let me know what they are LOL)
Hope you have a great day :D
