Reading the threads and learning so much. So grateful. I’m a little over 3 weeks on Keto and feel great.
Started thinking about my food choices in the past - my LOVE of sugar, and tendency to binge 1-2x per week. I used to eat an entire package of Golden Oreos in a sitting - and this was at night after eating other things all day. Well I just did the math: that was 300g carbs (168g pure sugar). No wonder I feel better now??? And then I would eat more if I had other sweets in the house.
Anyway - thought it was interesting to look back from my current mindset and feel good about treating my body better.
Do I still love sweets? Yeah. Sure. But it is now a passing, distant thought I can easily push away rather than the White Dragon on my shoulder dragging me to the cookie isle.
Things I used to eat 🙄
Congrats on your increasing strength and willpower. The further you put sugar behind you, the easier it gets. 
One of my favorite perks about keto is that I don’t have to shop the entire grocery store. No longer do I have to visit the chip aisle, cereal aisle or snack aisle. I only shop about 30% of the store and it makes shopping so much quicker.
I believe I have a force field against sugar now. It’s called KETO!!!
I went grocery shopping today and strolled effortlessly through the onslaught of Valentine’s Day chocolate displays. Not tempted at all. That’s a non-scale victory for sure.
(Thank goodness there were no soft serve ice cream displays or machines. We all have our breaking points.)
I buy Clancy’s Chicharrones at Aldi. The pork rinds at my supermarket are blah.
Occasionally I will need to traverse the store from front to back and will find myself in the snack aisle. I just shake my head.
It’s crazy how different the food is we eat now. I never liked sweets but I could sure down half a bag of lays herbed potato chips in one sitting or a bag of pistachios while playing poker.
I still like them I just don’t eat them now. Never counted the carbs on them but I’m sure they were high.
Girl, I know that feeling all too well! I just had a conversation about this with my coworkers this week. I was such a severe sugar addict and binge eater. I would eat pounds of it at a time. Every once in a while, I’ll be walking through Kroger and see those pastries and get flashbacks to buying an entire package, sitting in my car, gorging myself on every bite I could stuff in my mouth, then finding somewhere to throw away the package before anyone knew. Looking back, it’s so embarrassing, but so eye opening to my addiction. Has kept me from taking that “just one bite” for over 2 years now!
I was very much the same way…it is embarrassing to think about but we all have our struggles. Congrats to you for doing so well for so long!!!
