*as *as 🤓 

Lolsies Phil and Knuckles. This site needs a reply feature like Facebook!  

Tina, I don't even really like popcorn, but I've been known to eat mass amounts if drenched in butter. If and when I eat it, it's mindless munching because it smells good. Unfortunately just the aroma triggers hunger pangs.  

My wife has a tendency to pop a bag right before bed. The smell is insane, and I don't really like it either, regardless of carbs. I've gotten used to it, and it helps in the long run to ignore other possible temptations. I do, after all, regularly bake brownies, cookies, cakes, cinnamon rolls, etc., for my wife and daughter and the smelling it without eating any of it has helped me conquer less intense cravings.  

You're a beast Phil! One day I hope to be that strong. Baking my daughter's birthday cake in march did me in. I managed to resist bowl and beater licking, but after it baked I caved and agreed to cheat and have birthday cake with her.  

I agree that if you can conquer the aroma, it feels like a victory, and prepares you (if just a bit) for the next battle. 

Absolutely  

Jimmiepop, that is hilarious!!! And true! What do you do if they come into the kitchen with boxes of Oreos or Girl Scout cookies? Ha! 

As part of my morning walk I hope at Costco's and I swear they're making Cinnabons smell absolutely kills me popcorn smell the way it does because manufacturers know how to torture you to seduce you 

Yea, I know THIS feeling. Took the grandkids to a movie yesterday and popcorn smelled soooooo good! I snuck in my spicy pork rinds and ate those. They were loud and I think the person next to us could smell them....She looked over several times, lol.  

Maybe if we all petition the site ops they will Add a direct reply feature. THAT would be awesome and MUCH used. 

Christine, we all fall victim to weakness. Its ok. The whole point of doing what we do is to push those days further and further apart. I started this journey because I KNOW if I didn't, I wouldn't live to see my next birthday. MAYBE two if I was lucky. I started to develop heart palpitations at 40. Then was getting high blood pressure. And THEN my blood sugar was creeping up. I HAD to change. Or DIE. And let me tell you something that the older members of our community already know. DEATH IS A HELL OF A MOTIVATOR!!!!!! I am NOT ready to die. I want to be married and happy before I die. Not this bitter middle aged angry bastard that I have become because I was too fat to enjoy life. 417 pounds was nowhere near record breaking. And I pack a LOT of muscle. But still. After losing 57 pounds I am STILL 358 pounds. My health has improved VASTLY with those 57 pounds also. So I think I know what your real problem is. You lack REAL motivation. Anyone that fails a diet does also. unless you have a real legitimate medical reason for not being able to burn fat. So, What is YOUR motivation. And every time you feel a slip coming remember WHAY your not eating the SHIT you were eating before. Its how I quit smoking also. When I wanted to smoke. I told myself "I CAN BREATHE!!!" And the urge to smoke went away. And eventually I COULD BREATHE!!!!. Its been 1 year and 2 days since I quit smoking. YAY ME!!! 

WHAY=WHAT. I wish I could edit my posts. >_< 

Lmfaoooooo I lack real motivation? You must not have read my profile. I'm busting my ass trying to form a healthy relationship with food while losing weight at the same time. I've been battling an eating disorder for 20 years, so this is no easy feat! Did I have cake with my daughter to celebrate her birthday? Sure did. I had a lot in fact. I also ate a big mac, and an entire Domino's deep dish mushroom pizza, and a 2 liter of dr pepper. I had intended to purge when I was done but I didn't. I had been fighting that desire for 10 months. I know my luck will eventually run out so instead of puking, I just dealt with feeling like adead stuffed pig, and picked myself up, dusted off, and started back on induction the next day. Don't presume to know what's going on with people. I've probably been closer to death far more times than you have. Not wanting to leave my daughter motherless is my motivation.  

+10 fatsecret points for not purging. Gold star right here! I think that's shows some pretty serious motivation. Getting over an ED is not an easy task.  

Thanks doll, I'll be a year strong next month.  

That's a huge milestone!!! Congrats in advance!! 

Mucho thankos!!! 

When they would pop microwave popcorn at the office, the first whiffs of it that reached my desk smelled just like a poopy infant diaper. Whenever I want to resist I just remember that. I hope I ruined popcorn for everyone. Just my little way of helping. 

Mmmm... just like momma used to make! 😂
