Sounds like you have fast food junkies to deal with, my wife seems to think it's a food group, that and sugar. Keep fighting the good fight, it gets easier, and yep, it's pity not jealousy.  

X-files!!! nice. Oh, and great job on the self-control! sorry, sometimes I get my priorities upside down. 

Start contributing tasty healthy food for your family so they can join in your journey by eating healthy too. 

I find myself feeling the same way. Once you start viewing sugar that way, it's hard to stay off the ed boat even if you fall of. Way to go!!!! 😀 

the new episode comes out tonight at 10 pm I believe. I'm so pumped!! lakeontario, oh I do, this was a treat... my 13 year old son made A honor roll and wanted to go out. and I missed taking him out the last time he got A honor roll so he wanted to go out again lol... my junk food debts have been paid.... even as a fatty I wasn't big on take out and what not .. I just have big issues with portion control and baked goods... thank you jenny, I honesty feel amazing today... and this is going to sound so weird but I feel like I can see better... like i was getting this blind spot in the upper left and it's not there now... probably a floater but i was secretly terrified it was some sort of undiagnosed and unmanaged diabetes thing .... and I had such pressure on both of my eyes too and that's gone as well... I don't get it. I'm not complaining, just a bit shocked and baffled. annnnyyyyyyy waaaayyyysssss I've had way too much coffee and it's 6pm and there's no way Im going to sleep in the next 5 years and I said the word 'way' too many times lol lol lol  

phil!!!!! I didn't see your comment.. maybe I can't see better after all ha ha ha ... ya everything my husband ate today was like horrible. my 9 year old son snuck a pb&j.. when I came home and saw what he was eating I almost died! there was like so much peanut butter it was falling all over the place and jam dripping down... I could have puked. so ya.... the healthier I try to be, the more they sneak sugar and everything else. but I'm not going to let it sabatage me this time!!! i was eating well when i first met my husband but he thought i missed out on so much being canadian and had to introduce me to ALL American junk food... on went all the pounds I lost... then they killed being vegan for me, there went all the pounds i lost there.... so nope nope nope... not this time. I'm not doing it. no more junk. I'm not going to let others bad habits dictate what I do. I'm the one that has to live in this body, not them.  

😂 I try to keep some decaf for the evening for that reason, and a bottle of melatonin just in case..lol. Glad you're feeling great! Who knows... After doing so much research on keto, I wouldn't be surprised at any aliment healed using it. 

It's cool... I got a whole box of sleepy tea... three bags of that.. make a tea so think it's like syrup.. should knock me out HA HA HA if not maybe Ill get the bills in order or do some other crap I'm supposed to do lol  

Inviting the people in your life, particularly those that you live with, to walk the journey you're walking is great, but an invitation is all it is. My wife has been adamant that she's NOT doing what I do, she doesn't want me doing it, but she knows I'm not relenting so she's come to accept it. Yeah, trying to get a junk food and fast food addict to change their ways is impossible, each of us had to come to this decision for ourselves and should extend the same courtesy to our loved ones.  

Good for you. Hard to smell that food in the car and not eat it. Carry a snack in your purse so you can eat it too. 

like my husband just doesn't get it. .. he's about 20 pounds over weight. he has muscle .... he has that "dad bod" lol somewhat fit with a belly.... so he doesn't understand the pull food has on me. he doesn't understand being obese .... he just doesn't get it cause he's never felt that way. and how could he understand? brb.. 

But I'm always offering healthy options and praise everyone for good choices but it doesn't work. so ill have to lead by being a better example  

azme, at one point I had to stick my head out of the window for fresh air lol 

That had to be really hard...allow yourself to be impressed that you made it through unscathed :-). Great job! I think grocery shopping day has been the hardest day of the week for me so far. I've never really even been a dessert person but SOO many sweet things caught my eye yesterday. Completely random things like candy orange slices, banana pudding, and apple pie...go figure! That's not stuff I would really even eat before. Like my eating mind is playing tricks on me LOL. But I made it through the shopping trip like a thin person would. And don't feel bad about hubbs, mine is doing this same LCHF thing with me and is losing at twice the rate I am. Haha! Still glad he is losing though because his snoring has almost completely stopped now. That alone is worth doing this LOL. 

I'm a firm believer that "Misery Loves Company". The more you try to succeed, the more they will work to see you fail. 

grocery stores are hard... luckily I can order my groceries online and I just have to go to the pick up line and they load my truck ... that way I only buy what I'm supposed to have without temptation. it's like a mine feild!!! I'm so happy for you that you made it out!! good job!!  

mahjohn, right as always.... they want junk so they try to convert me.... I'm the cook in the house and I make what I eat and I think they are sick of it.... all I have to say is if they don't like it, they can cook their own meal.  

that is real will power. 

You're doing great!  

thank you Fred and thank you ruby 23 :D
