I have a milk problem

Counting calories with a food scale is eye opening. That bit of milk in coffee was actually about 80ml on average and I guess on certain days I might have drank about 300ml in milk. I guess I will switch to drinking my coffee black now.

Overall I think I am someone who is drawn to milk, some people may have sugar cravings, for me it’s hard to resist milk. (Fermented dairy like yogurt or quark is totally different for me, it doesn’t trigger the same reactions).

Hey OP, not to discourage making lifestyle changes or anything but 80 calories isn't all that much. If you can manage to moderate your intake of milk, I think you'll find it much more sustainable to lose weight and keep it off. It's all about finding ways to change your relationship with food in a way that's sustainable to you. If milk in your coffee is something that you enjoy, is there perhaps somewhere else you could cut that 80 calories? Don't give up on all of the small pleasures in your life, sometimes those small things mean more than we realize and it can undermine your efforts to make long term adjustments

Yes, 80 kcal are not much, but many small amounts sum up quickly in my experience, and 80kcal in liquid calories are much less satisfying than more solid stuff on my plate.
