@contentandwell I do think that diet may be harder to control than exercise. I still have cravings, and they may never subside. But, I try to choose foods that taste good and that helps my want for sweets. Some things I just cannot eat, so my diet is monotonous. Do you plan your meals? I plan a week at a time, and I write down each meal. That is another way to be accountable. If it's not on the plan, I don't eat it. Do you cook at home or eat out? I know it's harder with a son who wants everything that's youth food, I have to be aware of my husband's diet because he has heart disease, so sometimes our food allowances aren't the same. I have come to terms with diet, and the needs we both have as well as what we shouldn't eat. Maybe your son will follow your model and not choose food that's bad for him as he sees your struggle with diet now. My husband and I plan together. Would it make a difference if your son helped you plan?
