I have finally put down the fork of denial and am fully admitting to being a junk food junkie. I crave sweets, I eat sweets, I crave chips/crackers, I eat chips/crackers. I am fully admitting that this band will NOT hinder me from consuming these easy foods! I am fully admitting that I MUST NOT eat these things. I can't even give in a little, because, as an addict, one is never enough. All my diet life, I've said "everything in moderation". Well, at this point in my life, I can not moderate my junk. So, I am making a VERY tough decision to eat NO junk food whatsoever for the entire month of August! This is very easy to type, but not so easy to live by. This will be difficult on my birthday, but tough snoogies! I've had cake before, I know what it tastes like, I'm not really missing anything!

Anyone else need to put down the fork of denial with me and join me in banning junk for one month? It's sometimes easier to do this when others are going through it with you.

Heck, I'm even considering looking up the twelve steps from AA and going through them in August. Am I nutz????

Well I was not here for your challenge, but I did it just the same. Whenever I have lost weight before it is because I cut out sweets, so I decided that when I had my band | would not eat them or junk food. I dare not have any junk foods or sweets now because I know, once I start I will not be able to stop. It is so hard though

i am have been so weak and i am still over eating junk food , i need help with that restriction, instead of my band restriction. chips, munchos go down great , m&m , candy, ice cream, pies, poppycock cashews my favorite. i can go on and on , i need to tell on myself this is crazy. i believe i do need support. and new healthier and lower calorie snacks.

Well, since I ate 4 brownies and 3 slices of pizza last night... and then went to WalMart after work and had to wrestle myself away from th Snickers... Yeah. I'll do this again!
