Bully for those of you that can control portions! I can't seem to be able too. I'll select what I think is healthy, even organic, foods.
Once I partake of the delightful taste I just seem to "blank out" my cerebral reasoning and continue to give myself the joy of yummy taste!
On analysis, this seems to be the most enjoyable experience in my life. (Woah boo hoo for me.) I've attempted to replace it with loved ones, family, hobbies, etc. Ideas for replacement with other ideas just don't seem to work. I've eliminated candy and pastries along with bread. No alcohol at all.
I must lose a good hundred pounds gained while couch-surfing during a 2-year medical layup. I did self kick the opioid addiction developed during this period. Perhaps I replaced it with food. Any cerebral trains of thought I might explore? Ideas beyond the basics? Thank you, brilliant members
