Its real easy for me to follow my diet cause I only have what I can have in the house no matter how hungry I get I can't screw it up.
If I get hungry for a snack I have broccoli and peppers, carrots too. Zero junk food at home cause I don't buy it. Much easier then will power at 11PM when I usually get real hungry.
I got used to it, I actually get the munchies for it now.
All the food in our house [meats, veggies, grains, fruits, honey, maple] is local produced organic, with a few exceptions.
There is local salt, but the salt we have was store bought.
Instead of using black pepper, we use home-grown horseradish.
Stuff like cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda was all store-bought. My Dw drinks black coffee which was store-bought. I drink green tea with mint and stevia that was grown here. We try to eat as healthy as we can.

It's true. I always say, that most dietary sins are committed while pushing a cart through a grocery store.

Just before i start I am sorry for my english becouse I am from croatia.
So this is true but some people don’t live alone and eaven if you do when you go to buy grocuries you still have to have some will power to not buy anything. And on the ocasion you are going to find your self somewere vit snacks swets or simular staf so my sugdestion is and it has helped mi I hope it will be helpoufle for you to. So whe I don’t stic to my diet and eate a pancake or something I usualy feel bad afterwords and I think you might to so my sugdestion is when you rech out for that pancake just think about how are you gona feel afterwords and how you are seting your selfe back to what you have alwready acomplished.
I managed to lose 40 pounds while raising 4 young girls. We had all kids of taboo stuff in the house. I just set my mind to it, ate within my calorie range, and exercised. It does help though that we are a family that does not like boxed, fast, or junk foods. I would make dinner and then just eat less of it.
When you really, really, really set your mind to lose weight its surprising how easy it is to avoid temptation.
I am not saying that is easy to get to that mind space. I had more than a few false starts. But the good thing is that I know I have the capability to reign myself in when weight starts to creep back.
I have SOME unhealthy food in the pantry all of the time. For me to eat on my cheat day. I've trained myself to not pay attention to it on any other day. If one doesn't fixate on it, it doesn't stand out.
I woul honestly sugdeste not having cheate days becouse for me sometimes chiteday becomes cheate days cheate days cheate weeks and cheete weeks cheate months so I dont do cheate days any more.(again realy sorry for my englishe)
I live alone also and that helps. I don't have a lot of the junky, processed stuff that I try to avoid and have banished potatoes, rice and pasta from the house. My dear husband, who died 2 years ago, was a good cook and made corn bread, meat loaf, pot roast, etc. I wasn't always good about exercising portion control. He liked ice cream and off-brand sandwich-type cookies (e.g. fake Oreos) but I found those very easy to pass up. I rarely have meat with a meal although I try to have a piece of fish a couple of times a week to make sure I get enough protein. My weight is down and my bloodwork results are better.
