Doesn't help that I had a conversation with someone at work today, she told me I was (quote) "nearly dead" before I started losing weight. I mean, I know it was very unhealthy, but... thanks? Heck, I'm out sick more NOW (with my toe issues) than I was then! So I was already in a challenging place mentally when I ran right into the display of dirt cheap chocolate.
Oh well! Next time I go shopping, it'll be all gone.
I'm just like you - haven't had ONE since I started the pre-surgery diet. And it's that fact that has kept me from caving in. If it wasn't for keeping that streak alive, I might have tried "just a bit" of the Easter cookies I made with my little sister and started on a bad spiral. My only two "bad" foods I now struggle with are tortilla chips and gluten free crackers. Because i know I can eat them and not be sick. Doesn't mean I should, though!
Yep, agreed: The only way I can keep avoiding them is by saying nope, none, never, not one bite. I cannot do "okay, just one piece". It also helps that I haven't dumped yet (as far as I know -- my surgeon said I'd know it when it happened...). I'm really worried about that happening, so that makes it even easier to avoid sugar.
I'm with you on the other bad options too. Chips don't make me sick, and nachos have protein! :P Bread I'm somewhat better about avoiding, but chips/crackers are such doom to me.
Having animals is a big investment of time and money, neither of which you can afford to start. Especially since you are having such troubles.
Oh! You can kill things with your axe too.
I really suggest you skip animals for a season or two, and concentrate on making money via farming and foraging. Upgrade your backpacks, and collecting materials like wood and stone.
Spring: Cauliflower! Lots of it. Summer: Blueberries. You can harvest them multiple times. Fall: Cranberries. Like Blueberries. Winter: Mine and forage!
But don't forget your bundles either.
Suggestions: When you do finally build the barn and coop, don't do it right near your house. There are a TON of machines you'll be using, and I found I had space troubles for putting the coop and barn right near the house, especially once I got the horse. Fighting the animals to get near your horse is damn annoying!
You know, after thinking I killed my cat with my axe, I should have tried using it on the slime things. :P
I'm going to take your advice and skip over the animals for now. I'm going to start over today for multiple reasons (the mistakes I've made so far are only a small part of it -- I don't like my hair, and I want to change my name and animal too). It should go much smoother this time!
I used to love the Russell Stover eggs, and I would get a whole basket of them once an Easter season and just EAT THEM ALL IN ONE SITTING BECAUSE I COULD AND I'M AN ADULT.
Aw man, yes. I loved those so much! Especially the raspberry one, which was odd since I don't usually like the flavor much otherwise. It just worked really, really well with their chocolate though.
I finally found out how to give gifts, so next time I see him, I shall give him things! I have flowers saved to give away, as much as I'd rather sell the for money.
and I was carrying a flower around and accidentally gave it to him, and he hated it because he is dark and spooky and I was like FUCK SHIT DAMN IT.
... Hahaha well then! I'm trying to avoiding looking things up (GLOWING BOX ON THE FLOOR IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER, I SHALL FIGURE YOU OUT! WHAT'S THIS ALIEN LANGUAGE THAT POPS UP WHEN I TRY TO GIVE YOU THINGS?), but maybe I'll check out what he likes best, so I don't make him hate me with flowers.

Good luck resisting it!

The egg festival offers a chance to buy strawberries, which isn't critical.
Just a couple hints to help:
Buy a silo before your coop. Really. Wait on the coop. The quest isn't timed.
Forage! Turn in bundles at the community center as soon as you can. They give nice gifts and perks. :)
I'm on year three, so know quite a bit if you need help, but really everything is on the wiki.

I really want animals though! Knowing they can't die, no matter if I hit them with my axe by mistake, is a big draw. :P
Oooh, I need to go back to the community center and get things going there! I haven't been inside more than once or twice.
Thanks! <3
