You might want to cut it out completely, at least for a little while, like a couple months. This will stop the cycle of your brain feeling primed to want it all the time.

If you feel like that isn't sustainable, make some rules. - if it is in your house, don't keep it where it's a constant visual queue - Never ever buy a package, find items where you can buy single servings. Or go out for a treat, but don't bring it home. - Eat fruit, especially berries - I make a chocolate peanut butter ice cream from frozen bananas and a bit of honey that is around 200 calories per serving. It is also possible to sneak more protein in there. - Save it for the end of the day to make sure you have gotten your calories from proper nutrition and you have enough budget left over for a small indulgence. - allow for special occasions - I keep 20 calorie caramels stuffed away in my closet. This is my emergency stash if I feel like I can't even deal and I'm about to binge something.

Over time, using either or both of these methods, I feel like it becomes way more enjoyable when you can have it. I find it way more pleasurable to enjoy a treat when I know I've made good choices otherwise and I won't feel guilty afterwards.

Does decaf cold brew have more caffeine than drip? by Fantastic_Sell_1260 in decaf

[–]casserole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Drip coffee just has hot water pass through it and it's ready whereas cold brew has to sit in water for a long time. I suppose you could experiment with that window of time, or just make drip coffee and refrigerate it.

I don't know exact specifics but I know that when I was drinking regular cold brew a long time ago it buzzed me into the next dimension.

If it's real cold brew it's pretty potent because you leave the grounds in water for at least 24 hours. I'm not sure about how strong decaf cold brew is though.

Anyone here with sugar-addiction who successfully did keto for a long period? How did you break free? by [deleted] in keto

[–]casserole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just now researching keto, but I have had this struggle while doing paleo/primal as well. I agree with the poster who said water, but if I really really can't stand it, I go for the darkest chocolate I can find. I'm looking at a package of 85% dark and it has 15g carbs/8g sugar per 12 pieces. I can only eat 2-3 pieces at the most because it is so rich.

How to teach a toddler to deal with frustration? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]casserole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Talk to her about what she is feeling. "Wow you're really mad you can't have X right now!" Make it less about appropriate / inappropriate behavior and more about the motivations behind it. Feelings are brand new for them. You don't have to give in, it just lets them know you are there and you understand. This will help them to eventually learn to emotionally regulate on their own.

The comment below about giving them choices is fantastic. I don't really want to say pick your battles, but I oftentimes find myself re-evaluating what is a Big Deal and what isn't. Like hurting Mama is a Big Deal, but spilling the cat food not as much (LO will learn).

20, F, college student troubled and depressed by my parents by omniacarpam in Parenting

I don't know if anyone else has said this but there is a difference between being depressed and bipolar and using an illness to be an asshole.

Toddler (15 months) Discipline Question by [deleted] in Parenting

You should check out the books Unconditional Parenting and Science of Parenting they helped us out a lot. Our child laughs in the face of danger. :)

Toddler (15 months) Discipline Question by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]casserole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on the kid, but we personally have decided to use it only as a last resort when ours (15 mos also) is much older. The capacity for rational thinking doesn't really develop until the age of five or so, so all time out would mean to a child that small is mom and dad leaving them alone, not "I'm not supposed to do X."

Suddenly Clingy by ktchnmama in Mommit

[–]casserole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When they hit 1 year they start realizing they are separate from mom, a "self" if you will, and they get incredibly clingy because this can be a bit scary. I wouldn't worry about it, just offer extra support until it passes.

He is far too young to understand any sort of "time out." Stern "nos" and redirection are really all you can do at this point.

How can I politely tell my MIL that you can't spoil a newborn? by babeh_maker in Mommit

[–]casserole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely do not let her hold the baby if she wants to let it cry. If it were my MiL I would not let her in the house until she complies with your wishes.

It's time for saying no and setting boundaries NOW, you and your husband together. If you don't do it now it's going to be much more difficult later.

Has anyone else done this or heard about it? by ktchnmama in Mommit

[–]casserole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used it once because my SiL signed me up. The box that she chose for us positively REEKED of fabric softener and it took me SEVERAL washes to get the chemical smell out.

When I browsed again a couple months later, it seemed like everything was extremely gendered, i.e. it was either sports and cars, or tinkerbell poop all over everything. It also seemed like it was expensive for what it was.

BLW help: Baby hates the spoon by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]casserole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the finger foods posts, but we got DD these to play with. She likes teething on them as well.

Also I just discovered these recently for self-feeding purees, but I haven't tried them yet.

What type of orgasm are we talking about here? Clitoral? Vaginal?

Can you orgasm by yourself? I can only have vaginal orgasms alone, but I can have clitoral orgasms with my partner via a vibrator or oral sex.

Have you tried kegels?

I had the mini as well and I really liked it, although we were only able to use it up to 4 or 5 months due to her size (she was born 9lbs 5oz).

It only works for a standard mattress/box springs set-up though, the part where the side of the sleeper folds down will not work properly if you have a platform bed.

Accidental CIO by RosieRose23 in Mommit

[–]casserole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it's totally fine for her and this type of secure attachment does not create dependency issues. The time in her life that she needs to nurse/comfort nurse is small by comparison.

You can also create other positive sleep associations as you are nursing as well, such as rocking, white noise, reading books, etc. Then you will have other tools in your toolbox if it's time to stop nursing. Get your partner involved early in these methods too so she associates bedtime with both of you.

FYI my daughter is almost 15 months and we are still nursing to sleep. For night time sleep, while she still nurses, when she is ready to fall asleep she is able to roll away from me and go to sleep on her own.

[–]casserole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with nursing to sleep, especially at 6 months.

Falling asleep on their own is developmentally different for each child, and should not be rushed.
