I figured it would be a nice treat when I was doing my shopping last week, since I regularly keep other family size crisps in and just portion out 20-40g portions no problem, as well as other foods I used to eat whole packets of like biscuits etc…

Guess that's something to revisit in another few months at least!

  1. Yeah, there’s a reason that Lays’s slogan is “betcha can’t eat just one.” šŸ˜…

    Oh no!! LOL

    I hope you enjoyed them! Just consider this your cheat meal and move on. hahaha

    the struggle is real!! lol…potato chips are my Waterloo.

    I bought pita chips three months ago and hate them so much that I still haven’t eaten them!!!

    This is so real. As a fellow cant-have-pringles-in-the-house girlie, I feel you. Someday we *will* be able to have decently sized portions!

    I’ve learned this lesson so many times. I’m hoping it has finally stuck. I can not keep treats in the house and I will not eat them in a reasonable manner if they are. Haha.

  6. Salt and vinegar keeps me coming back for more no matter what. It just hits different

    Have you tried weighing out a portion, eating them slowly and not going back for another serving?

    That’s me and pints of ice cream lately!!! Thank god I’ve been able to contain myself and only eat a couple spoonfuls at a time!

  9. 4 years in and I’ve learned to fill a ramekin up and then dont refill. Even then, like last night, a few drinks and I just grab the bag… sigh. donuts and potato chips are my Achilles heel.

  10. Aww, at least you are wise enough to learn, though!

    Catherine and Donald talk about this a lot on their We Only Look Thin podcast. They often remind us (and themselves), ā€œDon’t bring the devil home with you ā€œ They have a 3 strikes rule where, if a specific food triggers them to go off track 3 times, they accept that they can’t trust themselves to moderate that food and therefore don’t buy it.

    I feel like we’ve all had these little realization experiments. Both a fail and a win bc now you know lmao. I once ate an entire box of WW’s dessert bars in about 15m 🤔🤔🤔

  12. Try fresh sliced cucumbers with salt & vinegar. Might be a good low calorie substitute.
