Just joining the self sabotage anonymous group
Went to ASDA and bought food for work that is all sw friendly, strawberries, salad etc.
Then as well as eating healthy food I've had a binge on chocolate and biscuits! Now oversynned
So feeling sorry for myself today
I need to find some middle ground and get the balance right. Going to reduce my chocolate intake cos once I start I don't seem to have a stop button. Most of my weekly syns are on it and just not healthy.
Tomorrow I will start a no chocolate or sweeties challenge.

Don't think there's one up but think having a challenge where giving up something that we lose self control on would be good. Can't think of a name but might call something like vices challenge. I'm not great at names!
A vice is unique to a person. I can take or leave crisps but not sweets like wine gums etc

I'm so glad I found this thread !
I work in a kitchen as a chef and everyday there are fresh baked cakes /puddings / bread and the like.
I simply cannot resist eating it all
It's not so bad in that I know the amount of syns I'm consuming and just don't have any at home but I'm sick of having no self control !
Even if im not hungry I just can't stop eating treats , it's really frustrating me as I have now been on the same weight for about 5 weeks and if I just behaved I would have probably lost another 5lb than what I've lost.
How do you all keep in control and motivate yourselves ?

Recovering chocoholic
I think we are struggling which is why bubble started the thread. Planning is definitely key. Not having goodies in the house would help, but I have kids so buy it for them (then eat it myself). Not really sure why I self sabotage but think I get sick of following plan and not seeing a result so think why bother, may as well have what I want. If I could just be patient, I might see a result. I am stuck on my plateau weight and can't seem to get past it.

I've planned my meals using an app (just called meal planner) and I'm hoping having syns spare rather than meals will help. I used the magazines to help plan and we have a 1syn casserole ready in the slow cooker to go. It just needs hot water!
I also tried scan bran cake - not totally foul but needs another go. It was good having a nibbly thing.
Also i've rediscovered meringue nests -2.5 syns and very puddingy with fruit and yoghurt.
I need a better week after a 1.5lb gain!

Feeling focused today. Brought all my chocolate from work desk back home and OH eating them already. They were too accessible and tempting. Gonna ask myself if I really want something before I eat it rather than mindless eating.

Aw sorry to hear that but you still within syn allowance. Binge eating is so frustrating! It's hard to get balance as too much restriction leads to binges and just been around chocolate triggers me.
Don't beat yourself up it happens to us all

I have stuck pictures on my fridge of my holiday destination so every time I go in there I choose something on the plan.
so far I have had no cravings for any sweets or chocs, I actually threw a half eaten box of chocs away on Monday as I am a binge chocolate eater one is never enough so they had to go, I haven't had anything since starting the plan on Friday and use my syns to add to my food.

The warmer weather does help as I enjoy salads. I wanna fit into some nice crop trousers this summer. Think I may have an inspirational photo on the background of my phone and computer ,as will be reminded of where I want to be.
