That’s how we do it, too. If they are in the house, they get eaten!!😝

'reasonable eating' HaHa that is a good one!
I started to eat sweet stuff in the earlyafternoon, that is another reason,

I can't stop, at least not for that day.

Fremen, well, yes, that's the ultimate technique.

I'm not sure how HellYeah's sons would handle that though.

I have to disagree, a bit, cause I have enough sugar in my daily diet! And it wasn't coming from enjoyment, it was just following bad habits. I was just watching TV, had them around, put them in my mouth, and that's not ok! I am not beating myself up, but I am not being gentle either.

Well, I think those two are different things. Eating sweets is not per se a bad thing, and one may allow themself to snack sometimes. But indeed, eating them like an automatic pilot without tasting or enjoying them is not quite right.
Good luck with changing your habit!

That's why I am not watching seasons of shows or playing computer games anymore. I will stick to the device forever even if it's just tetris.

AFTERNOON
---------------------------------------------
{IRONBORN} Day 23 - legs
10 kg squats - 10/8/6/6
10 kg forward lunges - 6/6/5/4 per leg
10kg reverse lunge step ups 5/5/4/3 per leg (+1kg ankle weight)
12,5 kg calves raises - 16/16/16/16
----------------------------------------------
There isn't much spare time recently,
So I decided to set the focus on finishing IRONBORN.
Balancing all these weights is core exercise enough,
and the arms get their package, too.
Therefore: the challenges are on hold.
