@zachcoen: ‼️Reas the caption‼️ Who’s willing to try this mental exercise with me? 🤔 For some, it may sound impossible. But what if I told you that the reason you feel like you have no self control around foods like this, is not because of the taste, but because of your mentality surrounding them? We live in a world where foods are heavily demonized and we are taught to feel guilty for enjoying these foods. So what do we do? We avoid them! 😭 We try to cut them out completely. But the moment we indulge, we think to ourselves “I don’t know the next time I’m going to get the opportunity to eat this, so I need to enjoy it”. And we end up OVER indulging. Then we feel guilty, and round and round we go. This is what’s known as the restrict/binge cycle. Changing from that “scarcity mindset” to an “abundance mindset” can completely change how you view food, and even how you eat. With an abundance mindset, you start to tell yourself “I can stop here because I know I can have another on tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day”. Self control around food takes a level of personal accountability and effort. Nobody can make these changes for you. If you are serious about changing your relationship with food, give this Halloween candy challenge a try. Put in the effort, and see how you do. You’ve got this! 💪 #diet #weightloss #halloweencandy #zachcoen #thatdietitianwiththebeard

I have learned to put them up, and what I mean is a closed container, on an upper shelf. I also get out 2 and put them all the way back away and don’t eat them there. It’s too much work to get into it again.

I have 2 pieces a day and keep them in the freezer. Having them frozen gives me a couple extra minutes to decide if I really want it.

yes! and I put a lot in the freezer to last a little longer. I love Halloween for the smaller sizes so I'm not having to portion it all out myself (and then sometimes get it wrong).

My mom is doing weight watchers again and last time it led to her having disordered eating. How do I convince her she doesn’t need this because it causes her to restrict soooo much 😩

my vice are little Debbie cakes so instead of buying a whole box, if I’m craving one I’ll go up to the gas station and just get one individual pack to have. I don’t have enough self control to not eat an entire box in a day.

I buy them but have to hide them unless I’m intentionally having them for a sweet treat, because I’d have them every time I open up the pantry looking for something to eat.

Fun fact, I buy Halloween candy every year and keep a few in my purse because of how they are portioned perfectly. They even have little bags of chips, cookies and popcorn in fun size and it’s perfect

I did this last year and it completely changed my relationship with it. I love adding a piece to my lunch plate. And no, I don’t eat it every day but when I do, I don’t think about oh this is so bad for me. I think that is delicious and hits the spot.

I do this with candy corn. I eat about 10 pieces a day, and i have it in the cupboard,out of sight. So far it has been working, I'm not eating the whole bag within a couple of days.

That’s cute. I can eat 12 servings but I agree. I lost over 80lbs. I eat everything… Even carbs and chocolate. Just a little bit. 🥰
