Why "hide" food if you are still going to eat it?  

I agree completely! Usually, I'm ok with having junk in the house. Normally, I don't buy it though because if it's here I will eventually eat it.

I like the sweets too, and my husband doesn't - so much. And if I have one, I'm eating at least a dozen. I have been better this week - with eating and my walking! Unfortunately the scale hasn't found out that I've been doing better... Neither have my clothes :-(

Yup! If I want it and it's in the house, doesn't matter where I've "hidden" them, they're getting eaten! That's why I try not to buy the stuff, or give it to my guests as they are leaving!

Normally we do have healthier stuff in the house - and do now too! But these are left over from a party and they seem to keep calling his name... I've been doing good and haven't had ANY! For some reason I've got some awesome willpower going on right now :)

Well, that PLAN was to save them for our end of summer party, so we didn't have to buy them again. But that's not working too well!!

I usually eat 5 meals a day - 3 quares and 2 snacks - but it's all healthy stuff. So far I'm doing very good at not eating the junk. It just looks like we'll have to buy more for our party.

OH shoot, forgot the congrats to you both on the weightloss! I can't wait to type those words for me!

Yup, that's what I say too. But my husband aparently thought he could hide them from himself and he would not eat them. That's not working...

That is so true that once it's opened then it's so much easier to justify eating it. I figure he'll fihish eating it all up in a week or two and I wont have to worry about it any more!

The trouble is that he might want to buy some more. And even in healthy food, like me and rye crisps, there is a danger of eating too much. So I get rather upset when I have to stay in the house all day (like waiting for that delivery that did not come) and near all that temptation when I could be out for a walk.

That would be hard to be around it all day and not eat it. We're like that at work, so my boss tries not to buy junk food for the office.

Hey, you should give the grandchilden the fruits too, it's just as good for them as it is for you!

But I do think it's harder not to eat the junk food if it's right in the house, but I've had some good willpower lately!

My goodness I do give them fruit, they love it and chose it many times instead of junk. They really love carrots, strawberries, grapes, and watermelon. These are their favorite snacks.

COOL!!!! Gotta make sure they get their veggies and fruits :)

When he first told me what he did I just chuckled, then when he dug them out I chuckled again. I've been doing pretty good, although it's hard to get out of the habit of eating when you don't need to.

Well, normally we do, but the plan was to keep them for our next party so we didn't have to buy them again. That's not working either because they'll be eaten up by then.

Maybe next time you could send them with a friend and ask them to not eat on them but to hide them, lol, or if you trust anyone enough ask them to hide them in your own house, lol.

Right now my fiance and I are drinking slim fasts, this will have been our third can. It's the optima and is supposed to slim hunger. The first two cans still left us hungry but this one is so far so good for now. If you'd like to know if they work or not then just leave a comment and I'll tell ya once we are drinking them regularly.

We've got to lose a few lbs, lol and while we could be walking, we're just to lazy, plain and simple. We are doing a few odds and ends to make money + it's giving us exercise... lol, sorry so off subject.

I've tried slim-fast before and like most of those types of "diets" once you go back to regular food the weight comes right back on. I'd rather just eat healthy like I was and get back onto my regular exercise regimen. That works best for me, but then I get into something and go way overboard....

I know that all diets don't work for all people. I'm hoping that after getting off of this little diet that we won't gain our weight back. Hopefully if nothing else it will teach us to not eat so much, that was our problem. Well happy healthy eating!

I know what you mean! I so love to eat! It's hard to control it if there's extra stuff around the house.
