I have tried all the "above" suggestion, but to no avail. I don't really miss most treats (with the exceptions of chocolate and donuts) or pasta and potatoes that much, but when something that I really love is put in front of me I will eat it. That is my problem as well as the fact that I have a real hard time throwing away food. I was raised by my grandmother who lived through the Great Depression and always made me finish every bite on my plate. She actually was one of those people who said I should be grateful for all my food, "just think of all those starving children in China." She actually said that. The result? I am now obese. I realize my weight is MY responsibility ultimately, but a lifetime of thinking like that makes me very hesitant to throw away food when my husband brings it to me. It isn't just my husband either. My son gave me a huge heart- shaped box of chocolate candies for Valentine's Day. Maybe if I could just say in my mind that these things are POISON I can make myself throw them away.
