Shusher Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Not to be full of myself but I have conquered my big fear - dessert. I'm pretty good skipping it. My cravings are mostly gone. BUT not all habits are dead. Today, for Father's Day, I baked a cake for hubby - AND I DIDN'T LICK THE BOWL!! This habit is one I wasn't sure I could break - yet totally have too!!! I routinely bake for family & staff at work. I can pass on the cake but the batter is my kryptonite. I always take care of the batter & beaters kid style. But this week I have 2 meetings to bake for and then of course this holiday. It was a good test could I break the behavior habit - and I passed!!! Thank you for indulging my public pat on the back.

monee2000 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Ha! This happened to me on Friday as well... was making brownies for some friends and by habit almost licked the whisk. But I didn't! And then after putting Reese's PB cups into the brownies, I almost licked my fingers... but I didn't! I'll be baking for a work birthday function next week as well, but even then, I'm not all that worried about it. I'll just enjoy watching people enjoy what I've made instead of enjoying it myself - and sometimes that's even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acha Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I always thought I was fully aware of the many ways I consumed food, but yesterday was eye-opening. I was helping to prepare two tables full of sweets and junk food--my fave cupcakes and chips. As I was frosting and mixing, I put my sugar covered fingers towards my mouth. Fortunately I caught it before I actually ate anything. I am on Day 8 of my first W30, and I don't want to start all over again. But it's really stunning to me that I was less aware of auto-eating than I realized. I'll be extra careful to notice these impulses now. But kudos for me that I didn't eat one single bite of non-compliant food, though most of my trigger foods were on the menu. An interesting benefit to not being able to eat a single bite of anything, was that I actually had a better time; I was present for the celebration instead of obsessing over the food and all of the internal negotiation ( one bite of this, that's not so bad, etc etc). So good for us that we can stay the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
