I was not eating any junk for quite a few months
But now I find myself binging on sugary foods
Before I managed it by restricting what I bought
Finding that I am going out to buy these foods
Not sure if it’s comfort or something
Feel like I am putting all that effort to waste
Anyone out there tried to stop this?
I’ve found not cutting it out completely but cutting every once in a while helps me maintain it. But I still gain weight this way so it doesn’t really help either.
I feel like exercise is the only solution and even then we have to work harder than normal to meet a reasonable weight bc of the APs.
Have you tried alternative sweets foods/snacks like popcorn instead of crisps or dark chocolate instead of normal chocolate and so on
Edit. Green tea may help?
I guess I could try stuff less sugary etc
Had to stop buying apples as wasn’t eating them
Is it possible to increase the intensity of your workouts/swimming sessions? Could help
Edit. I’m considering asking for one of those weight loss drugs because I feel my weight is affecting my heart’s functioning. That’s also something that could be a last resort
I’m not a dieting professional, but I can totally understand that stopping sugary foods cold turkey would be really challenging.
You could try save a couple of snacks for sunday, after you’ve had a good week of sticking to your diet.
Fast food and such is great in the moment but will have you feeling down/sad and low on energy after because there’s no real nutritional value.
I’m sure you’ll be able to stick to whatever plan you have, best of luck 
@Joker i think its the cold weather makes craving for comfort food. You could fill up on veggie soup and chicken roast dinner., leaving less room for treats. Thats what im doing.
I don’t diet because I can’t maintain that long term and usually afterwards I gain more weight than I have lost.
I prefer to make good food choices on a daily basis.
If you get the med for weight let us know how it goes
Is it the sugar you’re craving, or are you not getting enough healthy fats? When I was in one of my kinesiology classes I had a professor comment about people mistakingly saying they had a sweet tooth because they liked baked goods, but there’s a difference between people with a sweet tooth and people with a “fat tooth” as he put it. But I’m that discussion it’s essentially that your body will crave what it’s missing. So if you’re craving gummy bears or Skittles or what have you, yeah, probably sugar and fruits would be a good substitute. But if you’re craving snack cakes and donuts and potato chips, you probably need a little more fat in your diet. Nuts, seeds, avocado, things like that are really good sources of healthy fats.
Don’t give up, though. Just find what nutrient you’re really craving and find a healthy source.
Thanks @Ducky
Indonhave tins of chicken noodle soup
I thought I’d cut out the bad habit of eating stuff like this but I have taken steps backwards
Do you know what triggers you in binging sugary foods?
Not entirely sure
Think that not had them for so long when I started eating the food I can’t stop
I’ve found that when I stop drinking I crave sugary food
I feel like it’s normal to gain weight in the winter. It’s nice to have a 6 pack etc but our prehistoric brains want us to pack on a few pounds to ensure we survive the winter. Just evolution in my books. Not saying you shouldn’t try to lose weight etc just saying. Whatever your weight during the summer is we should expect to gain 5-10 during the winter it’s normal. Not saying don’t fight it just explaining that fact
@Joker The more junk food you eat, the more you crave them
It’s a vicious cycle
