I am overweight and want to stop eating crap....

[Ohdoleavemealone]

But I just don't have the will power!

I stopped buying in (much) junk food but DH just goes to the local shop and buys it there instead. This week he has purchased 8 twirls and 2 family bags of sweets!

Where can I purchase extra willpower please???

Just start small. We have junk in the house because there’s DH and 3 kids who can all eat a fairly balanced diet with treats and still be thin. I however just look at carbs or chocolate and put on a stone.
As I have no will power I am still eating stuff just halving the portion. I am then trying to fast as long as I can a couple of days a week. I’ve lost a stone since June (which did include some quarantine weight!) by just doing that really and upping exercise slightly from none to some. Sometimes I’ll not have tea if I’ve had a slice of toast mid afternoon in the hope that the calories cancel each other out!

I feel your pain. My DH doesnt really support me with this mind of thing - he buys so much but just says dont eat it. Not that simple!!

Sorry, posted too soon.

I don’t have the answer. Perhaps talk to him further and say how you feel? Ask him to not buy so much crap?

I need to do this too. Often keeping really busy works for me... I eat when I’m bored. Which is a lot as I have a 3 month old who usually will only sleep on me. If I know I’m going to be stuck under a sleeping baby chocolate looks very appealing!

Have you asked him not to buy eight twirls?

Can you persuade him to only buy what he is going to eat immediately? So one or two twirls is fine, but not enough for a week.

I can ask him but he just tells me I am beautiful and don't need to worry about losing weight which is beside the point because I feel so crappy and bloated.
He doesn't always buy that many twirls but they are chocolate orange ones that sell out fast. He has also bought 3 family sharing size bags of crips this week too though that he didn't need too.

Keeping busy does help as I eat out of boredom. Today though I was up at 6.30am. HAve cleaned the bathroom, done the ironing, two wash loads, baking with the kids and crafts and then sat down bored for 3 hours. Now the sweets are beckoning!
