I am always in charge of holiday baking. I have been baking for the last two or three days. There are so many sweet things in the house its gross. My family is eating them all up. Im trying to stay away from them, but its so hard! I was doing induction for two days, and then thats when the baking started. Right after Christmas Im getting back on Induction. A few kids from the neighbrohood came by today, and I gave them a plate of cookies, and fudge. I just need to get it out of the house. Im sure my parents wont mind. My dad and I will be doing LC together. Finally someone that will at least help by not getting all the bread and stuff. Thank goodness Christmas is almost here!!

Mandapanda,
I find it hard once I start on sweets. I gave up smoking one cigarette at a time, and I will do the same with sweets and bread. I did not think I would be able to give up bread, but I did. When I gave up smoking I told myself,"good for you everyday," and I still tell myself when I need it.
My point is, remember to tell yourself "good for mandapanda" cause you are doing it for you. You can do it. Good for you.
And when you mess up, it's O.K., start again. That is what is best, you can always start again.
Love,luck,and laughter,
Tazcat for you and a hug

This can be one situation where things like the Atkins bars can really help out. Even if they contain more carbs than they claim, they are still better than ordinary sweets. Another good thing about them is that they really really fill you up. I think the chocolate peanut butter is the most delicious flavor...
