Sweets are my absolute downfall. In the last year, I've regained five pounds, which is not the end of the world but it made me realize how quickly I can get out of control when it comes to over-indulgence on sweets. It's a struggle because my girlfriend can really portion control and hold herself back. She likes to keep a bag of dark chocolates or cookies and have one every few days, etc. I cannot do that. So as a general rule, I usually go cold turkey for a few weeks and then very very slowly begin reintroducing sweets as a reward and even then, I'll only reintroduce worst-scenario sweets lol (halo tops, dark chocolate.. I don't love em but I'll eat some). I realized my behavior towards sweets was akin to an addiction back when I first began my weight loss journey in 2019. It does make me feel awful that my struggles have to spill over and affect my girlfriend who does not have the sweet tooth I do. I'm back on WeightWatchers, which has really worked for me in the past, and am already starting to deal with "withdrawal" from overeating in general. This is my second go-around but my aim is to surpass the plateau I hit last time!
Any advice on how to handle foods and sweets in a household with others is very much appreciated.
