I changed how I ate and started exercising. I hated that that was a thing that was happening and slowly weaned myself off the soda and also lost the weight with it.Ībout 3 years ago I got frustrated with my weight which was around 170lbs (I'm a 5'4' woman). When I moved out in my early 20's and no longer had my mom controlling my food, I bought soda all the time and gained 10lbs. No soda or candy in the house pretty much ever (that rule made Halloween kinda special, and I would ration my candy to make it last as long as possible), and sugary cereals weren't allowed as a breakfast, but as a dry snack instead. I'm just going to say that my mom was a bit of a health nut when I was growing up. And guess what? Usually they will take it! What a crazy idea to prioritise healthy food over junk. If my daughter's are hungry I offer fruit or veggies and dip first. I spend a good chunk of our grocery bill on produce. I literally can't keep treats in the house because I know I'll just eat them all. Now that I have kids of my own I just cannot believe we were allowed to do this. We each got a single bowl and if we asked for more were told 'fruit is too expensive to buy more than this'. We would buy a couple containers of fruit each week and it would be divided amongst the family of 4.

That was in addition to the boxes of Debbie cakes, danishes from the bakery section, cookies, bagels, etc. Sometimes I would hoard some and then binge them all once I had a selection. I usually ate them all within the first day or two. Every week my sister and I were each allowed to pick out our own 4 pack of chocolate bars and bag of chips.
