I have come to the realization, reading many blog, listening to all different kinds of material, I have a life time of habits to change. Have to learn new ways to deal with b.s. And have to tell myself no, more often.
When I went to the store this time, I bought a few Keto things. Granola, bread, tortillas. There is a scale on the back of the granola telling you how to calculate carbs. I read about this but couldn’t remember the scale. Bought some riced cauliflower. The pizza I picked up for lunch had a cauliflower crust instead of a flour one.
Trying not to buy things that I know I shouldn’t eat a lot of. Like Little Debbie’s pumpkin cakes. They are soo good. I’ve bought 2 boxes since they were released for the fall. This winter, I’ll buy a couple boxes of gingerbread men. Maybe one box of gingerbread men and a box of Christmas trees? 🤔 I was so proud of me. Got gifted a box of Twinkies and I made them last about 4 months. 🎉 Yeah me.
As things get more and more expensive, junk food is the first thing leaving my budget. Bought a 6 pack of Ale8 this time at the grocery. Instead of a 2 liter (which is cheaper).
I did a finance challenge where I tracked my spending for a month. It amazed me what qualified as ‘junk food’ and how much money I spent on it. Maybe I have a ‘junk food’ addiction?

What is junk food? Because I wanted to do the challenge correctly, I looked up junk food.

I know the struggle as well. I have pregnancy weight I still need to lose. Mine is more sugar since I have a sweet tooth. Good luck and prayers coming. You can do it.

I have learned one thing that the weight goes up and down. I have a coach who is helping me. I also learned it is a mental eating when you cannot keep your hands and mind busy and think of food.

Amen. I’m a boredom eater. Been trying to incorporate other things into my life to redirect those thoughts and energize.

I’m a stress eater. Eating junk food really is a reaction for me. Behavior change is so difficult. It took a health scare to put me on a better path.
Good luck with your journey! You can do it!

I’m so proud and happy for you. I think I want to do the same—focus on eating healthier, with more fruits and veggies and less junk food. We’re not getting any younger, and if we haven’t already, it’s definitely time to take care of our bodies, which the Bible reminds us are the Lord’s Temple.

Thank you 💕 Amen on both counts; I’m reminded every day that I’m not getting any younger. 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20. I had a book recommended to me How not to die by Michael Greger. It has a lot of great information in it.
