Happy Monday everyone! I am pretty new around here, but have really been enjoying reading peoples posts. It reminds me that I am not alone in this battle. I have only been doing the program for a little over 2 weeks. Things are going well, but have given into temptations a couple of times. Having leftover halloween chocolate has not been easy! But, today is a new day and so far so good. I am having a major sweets attack right now, but thankfully I don't have anything laying around here at work. Not eating the sweets has been the hardest part for me thus far! I think I am addicted to sugar
Well, thanks for letting me tell you all a little about my journey. I look forward to getting to know you all a little better as we work together toward a healthier life!
sscott......that baby in your profile is just adorable Want to share your first name with us? I, too, am addicted to sugar. It gets better. Are you doing lites? If you are, the honey nougat ones can really fix that sweet, if you know what I mean. When I first started, I only ordered chocolate varieties.......but one of my counselors talked me into trying the honey nougat. YUM!!! I can't really do lites, as I don't tolerate soy well......but once in a while I will eat them for a week or so, when I am feeling weak.
XOXO
Got e-mail from my daughter today wanting to know what we were having for Thanksgiving dinner. Told her I hadn't decided yet so she told me to send her some recipes so she could make some of it and I would be able to enjoy it with the rest of them instead of making things they liked that I would not eat. That was awfully sweet of her I think. When she was young, she wanted nothing to do with cooking or baking or anything to do with a kitchen. Now that she's 28 and has an 8 yr old and another bambino due in February, she loves to be in the kitchen whenever she has a free night. Someone must have raised her right. Wonder who that was???
My son loves to cook. In fact his wife does very little of it. Why can't I find a man like that? Any my grandson's all like to be in the kitchen. My granddaughter could care less!!
I've never used netflix but my daughter does. She really likes it. What's wrong with it?
sscott, The sugar cravings get better with time. I used to love the honey nugat, but then they changed them..... I haven't tried them again in awhile, so perhaps they fixed whatever they changed so they are good again. They were my favorite for a long while though. As you get used to eating healthier, things like halloween candy will make you physically ill (OK probably not if you limit it to snickers licking, I've had the odd desire to lick a snickers ever since I read that!) I think it took me about 3-4 weeks before the sugar demons quieted down a bit. Not that I don't see a piece of cheese cake now and think that looks good. I will always love sugar, I just find that I can't eat as MUCH of it as I used to without feeling bad.
Thanks for all the encouragement about the sugar situation! My first name is Stacy. I am sitting at an afterschool staff meeting and they are serving hot apple cider, pumpkin bars, and brownies. I am resisting! I know I could eat them, but I don't want the guilt and ill feeling that will follow! I will keep trying to be strong!
I hope everyone has had a great Monday! I've got to run, meeting is starting...
ooo me too Katy. I just have supper left and then I am done with food for the day..... or supposed to be! Lets make a pact........ we will not eat off plan tonight! I will be checking in with you in the morning to see if you hung in there with me.
I had an awful day. My new student is going to be a challenge. He's a toot!! Actually, he's something far worse than a toot, but I'm trying but to say anything too negative!!
I was doing well with TO until about 10 minutes ago and now I've got the shakes. I ate a Lite bar, so I'm sure it will subside soon. At least it didn't happen until after my students were gone.
I really need to make my kids something for supper that I won't even be tempted by. After a bad day like this, I'm liable to be tempted to cross over to the dark side!! If I heat up a can of ravioli for them, I'll probably have it dripping off my elbows!!! I think it's going to be fishsticks and macaroni and cheese tonight - although that actually sounds very tempting right now!
it drives me CRAZY!!!! Looks like American Express is also in on the annoying of the big girls!!!
