Temptations PLEASE HELP
Ok so ive been on a diet for a week now..ive been working out like crazy 2 hours a day 7 days a week. I want to lose a little bit of weight before my surgery which is april 17th. My dad brought home ALOT of junk food and ive been avoiding it all day but its so hard because junk food was my issue in the beginning...i drank a protein shake for a snack to stop the craving but its really hard..im not going to give in because i have been doing so good. Advice please.

This is my first sf Easter and as a mother of 4 and grandmother to 5 it's hard not buying everyone chocolate Easter Bunnies.
I just want to start a healthier tradition from this Easter Bunny so I bought them flower pots and seeds to grow herbs.
I bought the little kids balls and they all got out fits because I adore Easter.Thursday we are dying eggs and having dinner because Gma has to work this Easter and she isn't happy about it.
So my moral to the story before I rattled on ask your Daddy to buy you something other than junk food. Donate it to someone or toss it out. I recently tossed out a cherry cheese cake the neighbor brought over because I couldn't keep it in the house. I have a mission!

okay so visualize the wonderment of all that junk food, imagine how it will taste, the smell, the desire...let it fill you up.
NOW, imagine the same food, this time with spit, saliva, fecal matter, boogers, and allother things pure grossness smeared all over it, the stench, the odor, the pure yuckiness. Visualize that, meditate on that...I bet your cravings/temptations will be greatly reduced. Well, they would be for me...
Hang tough! You are doing GREAT!

If my family eats snack foods I will usually eat pork rinds. Not the healthiest but better than cookies.
I eat low carb so if they make/buy cookies I will pull my carbquick and coconut flour out of the freezer and either make myself some low carb cookies or else a 3 minute mug cake.
Prior to surgery popcorn and tortillia chips with cheese and rotel were my downfall. I do still have then occasionally but way less. Instead of eating a whole bag by myself I eat a bit till i'm satisfied then give my son the rest.
My son seldom ever buys treats anymore because he always gets to eat my leftovers...lol. By doing this tho he is eating low carb and doesnt realize it.
I will every once in a while make some flax crackers and eat them with some cheese or bean dip.
I'd be in trouble without flax meal, carb quick, and coconut flour. I also use ethrytol and splenda as well as liquid stevia for sweeteners. I use a lot of substitutions but that way I can eat almost anything that my family eats, just get to eat homemade versions. So I know whats going into my food and it doesn't have lots of preservatives.

Met my first goal, met my second goal, met my surgeons goal. Now I have a new goal!
Pork rinds are actually pretty healthful: Low calories, protein equal to a half cup of pinto beans, no sugar, and not as much sodium as one might think. Also, Jolly as a popcorn (94% reduction in fat) and the entire bag is only 100 calories. But when you want something cold try sugar free popsicles and jello.
Good luck. Stay strong,
