Plurk help I have a non serious dilemma
Master Chieve
And that is that I’m trying to cut back on sugar
Master Chieve
And I’ve been....pretty good
Master Chieve
No longer buying donuts and candy bars on the regular
Master Chieve
No longer keeping ice cream at home
Master Chieve
But today I just
Master Chieve
really want some yogurt dipped pretzels
Master Chieve
I need someone to tell me to be strong OR to tell that I deserve a little treat and I don’t really know which
Quinn Angstrom
get some pineapple instead

yogurt dipped pretzels are by far a better choice than donuts and iced cream and candied bars
izzy.vrm
see if you can go to a place that lets you get them in bulk and get just like. a Small Bag
Master Chieve
Granted

I was going to say, instead of yogurt covered pretzels, get yogurt and pretzels and use the yogurt as a dip, but sticking to fruit is better yes
Dirk Warhard
if you're really craving something as specific as yogurt covered pretzels then that's probably your body telling you that you need something it knows it can get from yogurt covered pretzels. probably getting just a yogurt would satisfy it but also as far as junk foods go I would not describe
Dirk Warhard
yogurt covered pretzels as especially junky, so my vote is that it's safe to treat yourself a little
Master Chieve
Ultimately
Master Chieve
I decided to get a box of blueberries
Quinn Angstrom
strong compromise
Master Chieve
I still want my pretzels
Master Chieve
But I guess part of eating healthier is wanting unhealthy food and then not eating it
Master Chieve
Next time the craving hits though I’m doing it
Quinn Angstrom
sometimes that's how it be
Master Chieve
The big thing is I don’t feel particularly unhealthy
Master Chieve
But I am closing in on 40
Master Chieve
And I would like to continue not feeling particularly unhealthy
Master Chieve
So a certain amount of preventative maintenance seems prudent
Quinn Angstrom
prudent

Damn, now I want blueberries.

I've cut out a lot of sugar in the last year slowly and I do think that occasional treats are necessary
Blighty
there's a fine line of course but in the long run it felt more sustainable to give myself one ice cream a week or something like that
Blighty
hold yourself accountable for the treat you pick and be consistent
Blighty
also there's also ways to cut down on sugar that might not be as obvious, like i eat a lot of yogurts and cereal for instance and those have enormous quantities of sugar in bulk and it was easy to switch those out for better options
Blighty
and then you can give yourself more ice cream
Master Chieve
Update these blueberries kinda suck
Master Chieve
real sour
Echo
Bleh, that's unfair.
