Whimsey-How about sugarless ice cream and making some sugarless chocolate sauce? I know that it won't be quite the same as the full sugar/full fat hot fudge you are craving (I love 'em too!) but maybe it would help. I ate a tortilla chip the other day (my downfall!!) and found it didn't really taste that good!!! You might find the same too!!!! Listen, I don't want to sound bossy, or like I'm nagging you, but I think you are WAY too hard on yourself, and THAT is your main problem. We are trying to make LIFETIME changes, and we are all going to have slip ups and cravings. Unfortunately this will probably be a lifetime battle for all of us. But maybe we can get to the point where the battle is to KEEP it off rather than to lose it. You are a good person, and you deserve to feel good about yourself and be happy. I don't know about you, but I tend to overeat when I am feeling bad. And then I feel bad when i overeat so i eat more. I'm trying to break that cycle, learn to forgive myself and move on. Treat yourself the way you treat others!! You are WORTHY!!!!
Jackie-YAY!!! Good for you!!!!!
Sflake-Too funny!!! My hubby would go into mourning!! He considers Ben and Jerry's one of the major food groups!!! (He is thin though!!!
)
Sil-Glad the hair turned out nicely! When you mentioned "carmel glaze" it really made me giggle...I imagined walking around all day sucking on my hair!!!
Di-You are doing GREAT!!!!
Franny-WARRANTS! I nearly missed that one. How strange!
Ruth-HI!!!!! Are you done with the fair for the year? You are always so busy...I admire your "get up and go!"
Ellis-Wish I could come and help you out! It is silly of your Dad not to teach you. You are more likely to get hurt WITHOUT the training!!! My FIL taught me when I was building a passive solar panel, but I was so scared I have never used it again!!! I prefer the spackling and sanding part of the project!!!!
Windsong-Thanks for keeping us all so UP all the time!! Sometimes I drag myself in here feeling awful and you just brighten my day.
Coton-FUNNY!!! I can't see mine yet!! But my tummy isn't quite as big as it used to be!!!!!
HAVE A GOOD DAY AT THE BEACH EVERYONE!! I'm going to try to get out for a walk today. Haven't been exercising, and it is PAST time to do so!!!
