Pumpkin. The smell and sight of pumpkin triggers cravings to want to consume it. I miss pumpkin bars, pumpkin pie, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin donuts, and pumpkin spice roll. I have strength just like everyone on this forum and will not cave into temptation.

Topic: Does anyone have food aromas that trigger self sabotaging behavior?

Hi everyone,

With this next week being Thanksgiving, I'm wondering if I can expect any aromas to trigger bad behavior? I'm only going to be about 6 weeks out for this big holiday, so I'm not that far into heavier foods, but I have to admit that turkey day has always been one of my favorites. I just want to make a firm plan for myself to stick to. I'm doing ok with my plans day to day so far.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I can be hungry a lot too - a lot of it is head hunger but it is still there. And the more I indulge in carbs the hungrier I feel which led to a 20 pound gain last year. I lost it all earlier this year by doing WW and staying mostly low-carb. I am up again by about 3.5 due to newly dating meaning lots of meals out. But the days when I follow my WW routine I do pretty well with my hunger.

It's been 5 years since my VSG. I lost 99.8 pounds. I have gained back 15 in the last year and am working on losing it. All of a sudden, I am REALLY HUNGRY all the time. Can any of you relate and offer some tips. I am still eating Protein First and then Veggies. Thanks. :-)

dehydration can mimic hunger. Maybe you need more fluids. Do you get 64+ oz of sf liquid a day?

Yay, thank you for this recipe! I'm going to try it this weekend. I have flaxseed in the pantry, and I'm not even sure what I bought it for originally! I'm really enjoying this website and all of you helpful souls!

TheWombat, this is awesome, thank you. I can see where I could get several meals out of one ready to serve can!

White Dove, thanks! I hadn't thought of that one, and cool whip esp sugar free is something I have always used to top desserts, so now I can have a healthier option!
