This is embarrassing but I'm realizing I can't keep butter in the house.
I've already broken the habit of buying chips and ice cream, the more obvious culprits that usually cause me to overeat. But then I think butter, well, I need that for cooking or to put on toast etc. But then I end up adding so much of it and its not like I'd be eating as much of the pasta or english muffins that I do were they not a vehicle for the butter. I add it to so, so many dishes if its around. And with good reason- it tastes great, especially the more expensive brands like Kerry Gold. That being said, even with butter alternatives, such as Smart Balance, at the end of the day its just more oil which is to be used sparingly just the same and I still end up over doing it.
I know the nutritionists/dietitians out there would likely say its not good to villain-ize a particular food, and yes we do need healthy fats in our daily diets, but I figure if I'm ever going to reach my goal weight I'm going to have to add butter to the list of off limit foods.
Thankfully I don't share a kitchen with anyone else, so its at least easier in that I only have to hold myself accountable for what I bring into the house and not anyone else.
Does anyone else have a similar problem with foods that don't outright fall into the junk food category but its really easy to go overboard on?
