Junk Food Challenge

Is anyone else having problems eating too many goodies? I don't even know where it started, but lately there's been an excuse for everything. Parties, barbeques, 3-day weekends, Halloween, birthdays... it's never going to end, so I need to work on limiting myself. I'm not losing weight any more - just keep gaining and losing the same 2 pounds.

So, my challenge (for those of us having problems) is to limit myself to one "fun food" per day. I stole that term from someone on the boards who either has 2 mini candy bars, an ice cream sandwhich, a couple cookies... nothing more. And not all that stuff, just pick one per day.

Stomp out junk food! Stomp out junkfood!

Silly Penni, you can eat a whole serving of Cheetos! I'm certainly not going to eat one M n' M and call that fair. And Rebecca, a one pound chocolate bar? Isn't that rather selfish? Can I have half?

Of all things, I just binged on radishes. I already finished my lunch, but there were three fat radishes left, so I ate them. Sure, it's only a veggie, but it's pressing my lil pouchy. I hate my compulsive nature.

Wow I need this too..Im at a plateau or it could be just all the damn halloween candy in this friggin house :rolleyes .. Sweets & chocolate have not been nice to me this week. I do not even want to limit myself to one cuz that is what got me into this mess..so I'm going to cut it cold turkey ..one a day for the last week has creaped up on me. I have lost a measely 3/4 of a friggin lb in 2 weeks. I told my kids after they go trick or treating the candy is in the garbage or they better hide it in such a good place that they wont even remember where they put it. Im all in for this challenge in a big time way!!!

I think I gotta sic you guys on Erin. She just came in here to offer me Pringles, as she stuffed them in her mouth. What part of this doesn't she understand? I'm going to have the kids make a DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS sign for my door.

Hi, my name is Nora... I'm a junk foodaholic. Yesterday I had to take all the halloween candy and hide them in the trunk of my husbands car. Then just to be on the safe side, I hide my key to his car outside of the house. Even then I almost went out in my nightgown to get a kit-kat, alright I was going to get the whole bag of kit-kats, thankfully it was to cold for me, or my hubby would have found me at 2am buried under a pile of candy wrappers in a suger-coma... Maybe If I just bring in one kit kat????

sugar doesn't make you sick? ok just had this done last tues --drinking like a fool but i can seat those things-- OH NO!!!!! now i am scared

Sign me up for this challenge! If I could only avoid the goodies, I'd be so much more ahead in my goals. If it's around, I'm gonna eat it! I have been eating oatmeal raisin cookies. They DO have plenty of fiber, ya know.

Great timing Lisa! I don't know what's happened to me but I have been eating crap like it's goin' out of style. The weird thing is, I never used to be a sweet eater...I used to eat rice and Pasta...bread...you know the drill. Now that I can't eat that stuff- I've turned to candy and Cookies...and I don't even like candy or cookies! I'm stuffing my feelings and need to get a handle on it. Hold on- I'm going into the kitchen to throw it all away.

There. I'm in on the challenge. What's everyone's prize for being successful? You all know I love prizes...mine is this to-die-for soft pink winter scarf I saw at Target the other day and just couldn't see buying. Now I'm going to earn it!!!

So- here's my very public goal...

I will refrain from eating more than one treat a day for one week. Then I get the scarf. Ha.

Megan

Good Goal Megan! You can do it, I have faith in you, we want to see a pic of you in that pretty pink scarf next week!

BTW, Love your avatar!
