Do they look as good as the negative feelings you will probably have a few minutes after you eat it??? Stay focused. 

Lol! Donuts are tasty. Like I always said sugar sticks to the hips and in areas you don't want. I know it's really hard to stay away from that when others offer it. 

Vicky you've come too far to turn back now, you've got this 💪🏽🥗 

If you're like me (I'd have a bite then proceed to have just 1 more until the box was gone) stay strong and keep away...you can do it!!! If you can handle moderation cut off a quarter and just enjoy it. 

@acd36, LoL. I used to eat 6-8 from the dozen we got for our office. For some reason I gained on that diet 🤔 

One minute of bliss on the lips isn't worth it. Stay strong. 

1200 calories a day is extremely low. How do you manage? 

Most Mondays someone at work brings home baked treats. I always look at the treats, but just say, no thank you. Except for one day when I didn’t bring breakfast or lunch to work 😞 That day I had 1 treat for breakfast, and another for lunch. Plan ahead folks, so you don’t end up like me! 😂 

choose your calories wisely. be well  

I hope you won that struggle. If not, you will be mentally beating yourself up and want to get a whole box of donuts for yourself! The struggle is real. Be strong. Or work hard to combat the effects.  

I'm holding hands for you!! stay strong! you will be healthy and strong! and there will be a time that you will be able to eat one. 

You can do this. Remind yourself that you can do anything for one day this will get you through the bad day and help you start fresh.🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻  

Fix a cup of tea or tall glass of seltzer & walk right past donuts. You can do this. 

@arvinfernandez some days it's hard but mostly it's very manageable. I'm usually not that hungry anyway.  

grab a knife and cut yourself half a donut. it's like 150 calories. dieting and getting healthy is important, but what's the point of living longer if you aren't enjoying it? 

I pushed away a raspberry chocolate tart yesterday, but the struggle is very real. 

In the past I have fallen off the wagon for up to a year for eating a small piece of cake or even a little ice cream with berries. I find that the sugar jags my sugar craving and I just want more. I hope you either can hang tough or if you already had some, I hope you can go right back to the "straight and narrow". Sometimes I could and sometimes I didn't. 

Just do like I do: Take a bite out of everyone of them, that you like, and count it as one donut. Put the slices/pieces together to form one donut, then eat it! Voila!! Problem solved. Just make sure you stay within your 1200 calorie RDI like I do. :) 

LMAO@Yohoyoh....Sad, but true.... 

Just found this recipe for a healthier doughnut! I will definitely be trying. https://abiggreenhouse.com/baked-greek-yogurt-doughnuts-no-refined-sugar/ Bagels are my weakness. I’ve been making them in my air fryer just with greek yogurt, flour, and whatever toppings I want. They’re so easy and surprisingly good.
