I think living in Oregon would be nice. Seems like lots of people move there. My latest driver's license picture was horrible too.

Thanks Morticia. I just want to get away from the severe fire risk area I live in. Especially with 2 major insurance companies no longer writing homeowner's policies in California. Although after seeing the fire in Hawaii it's becoming for fires to happen anywhere. And with a rare Pacific Ocean hurricane this week I hope they don't become common on the west coast

Try sectioning the bread into smaller packages (i use ziplock bags) and then freezing them! I take them out a day before and let them defrost on my counter. Helps me not eat everything at once

There are some aisles i cannot go down period at the store. Ice cream, candy, chips. Can you try and take a break from bread? Store bought bread is often full of not healthy things anyway. Tell yourself every morning that today is the day you are going to take care of yourself. When im at home i get up, brush teeth put hair up and get sweats on get harness on dogs and out the door. I often dont want to but just the routine (and seeing my dogs get excited to go helps) often gets me out the door. Most of the time hubs comes with me and he pushes me when i dont want to go but on the rare occasion i go alone thats what helps. Making a list for the store and literally not looking around should be helpful and do not buy butter. If you use it to drench your rolls thats not conducive to looking amazing in Oregon right? You have enough time to entirely change your health by then!!!!! I a rooting for you. You can do this most definitely. If you can move across the state, sell and pack up your house this is also doable.

If you're looking to substitute store bought rolls with a healthier choice, you can bake with Carbquik, and use less butter. It's even keto-friendly.

We are darn near the same age and same size with similar issues. Looming retirement for one. I also need new drivers license picture. My last one I weighed 220 pounds and had no hair due to chemotherapy bi now weight 178 but hair still not so great. I live in Kansas. I added you to my “following” list. Have a good week! I’m rooting for you. Carlene

Thanks Diana! I thought you were about a decade younger than me. My profile picture is from when I first successfully lost weight, about 50 pounds after joining FS . I've gained it back and don't have pictures taken of me at this weight. My hair was originally dark brown and I've been coloring hit for over 30 years. My sideburns when they grow out are a pretty white. I thought if all my hair is that color I might like it. But my hair really started looking bad with lots of gray and then the dark color got really dull after spending many morning weeds hacking back in May and June. Before my last trip yo visit my niece in Washington I wanted to look !one myself again and didn't want to scare the baby! Hopefully FS will eventually !eh me post pictures again at some point. I stopped trying. I'm not on top of my health unless you mean that I know all the mistakes I make!

Thanks SoftLife! I've actually done what you suggest with bread and rolls. It usually doesn't work. I obsess about them until it is all gone!

Thanks YearofHealth. All good suggestions. Once my motivation kicks in I usually do good. I hadn't bought ciabatta rolls in at least 3 years and have no plans to buy them anytime soon. I usually have one or two loaves of bread in the freezer. I like toast for breakfast and I sometimes make half sandwich, peanut butter, tuna, grilled cheese or egg salad. So normally I'll have one slice of bread a day at the most.You have done an amazing job and are truly motivating!

Thanks Linerud. I've heard of carbquick but never tried it. I don't follow a low carb diet. Bread is something I try to avoid as much as possible. Although I know this journal entry shows how badly I can fail at that!

thank you for commenting on my journal post the other day. I certainly appreciate it & YOU! Sometimes I'm not sure anyone out there reads what I say and I understand they are on their own journal and may not have time to comment. I am 69 and also have had issues with bread & butter cravings. I can not limit once I start. Even when I buy the no sugar bread I overeat it. I have been good for past couple days and my new attitude is to "Build" on each day toward the next and hope that keeps me going! I also stress shop & eat. It is an addiction and I know IT but still it is so difficult to stop. I'm in Florida and we have our share of hurricanes I am so sorry to hear about the one going up your way. I've heard that is very unusual. And Yes I hope our weather is not progressively getting worse. Take care, stay safe & keep in touch :-) Joyce

Thanks Joyce. If only bread were a health food! When I'm doing well and really motivated I am okay with just a little bread once in awhile. For about a year I would toast just 1/4 bagel and add a tablespoon of reduced fat cream cheese and I was fine with that. Now I'm just not sure how I'm going to eat. I'm supposed to be on an anti inflammatory diet so maybe I'll try harder to do that. Just keep posting and adding followers. It seems that if I support a post, it will show up in the notifications of those who follow me. I think.
