Junk Food...Not In My House

Members Were Sparked

If you see it you will eat it! Don't take junk home! If you HAVE to have it eat it at work and share with co-workers. If you bring home a pack of cookies you will prob eat all of them. Leave the junk at the door.

This is the rule in my house as well. We don't keep anything for visitors or anything like that. My husband has even less will-power than I do so I get no arguments from him.

I agree, if I have it in the house then 10 to 1 I will end up eating it.

If i want a donut i buy one go home fix coffee and enjoy it real slow! Satisfies me for a long time!

So true, I normally am not tempted by binge foods but we all have weak moments. I had PMS on Monday and I found a bag of candy that had been int he pantry since Christmas and naturally I ate it all (600 calories

).

Best not to even have that stuff in the house!!

Clear the clutter.

The way I eat the best and stay away from junk food is that I clean my fridge, freezers and cabinets out and throw away or give away the junk food. I restock my kitchen with healthy food and resolve to not let myself bring the enemy/junk food back into home. Out of site/out of house, out of mind!

This is a great start

When you decide to get back on track first realize that this is not a diet but a way of life. Treat your home and your body as a shrine. No junk in the house no junk in your system. Outside of your home you can reward yourself for treating your body and house with love and treat yourself to a decadent sweet or drink. Good habits start at home. You are the keeper, provider and teacher to others.43

MORE INFORMATION:
If you have junk food in the house collect it in a box, give it to a shelter, or better yet throw it away/,

If you don't like grocery shopping, don't buy any junk food when you do shop. It takes willpower.

You'll have saved yourself from the junk calories, you won't have junk food in the house, and you won't want to go shopping to get some junk food later (unless you really want to go out just to get junk food.)
