You BETcha! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

akapjthegreat · 01-10-2008, 09:21 AM

Okay ladies... here's the bet thread...

The idea is to take your trigger foods away, the ones that you shouldn't eat, but do and then they cause you to eat more.

List your food of choice, and then list your self-induced penalty for cheating.

My trigger is chocolate... and if I eat it

I have to workout at the gym in shorts AND take pictures

EW! No one needs to see that LOL

Hello ladies!

Thank you for making this thread.

My food of choice is bread and chocolate. Bread is always circulating around my house and chocolate ecause that's always at my job.

If I eat bread or chocolate I will do 50 push ups (I don't know how to do pushups or even last to do 50) and I will have my boyfriend take pictures. I almost had toast and said I'll start tomorrow but no I didn't eat bread today.

My food is flour. I know thats not really a food but I am supposed to be keeping flour and sugar out of my diet. I am doing ok with the sugar as I use stevi as a substitute but I have trouble with flour. There are 4 flour substitutes I can use at home but when out its hard.

My self induced punishment is to walk an extra mile the next three times I walk. And yes I do walk

Ok, my food is Chinnese food!!! I love this stuff. But it has so so so many calories it is not even funny!!!!!

Ok, my punishment.......to work out on the stepper for 15 min.........this will be hard because I can't even make it 5 min!!!! LOL

Well, let's do this ladies we can stay true!!!

Good luck

Mine would have to be PEARS. So far, so good on SBD - but I can't stand to watch my friends eat beautiful, round, green, soft, fresh pears at lunchtime!! Ahhhhh... sometimes I thinK I will give in. But I just look forward to the time I am done with P1 of SBD and you betcha pears will be the first carb added in

My punishment will be an extra cardio class... because I hate those and refuse to do anything but Yoga and Zumba!

Ok---today is a hard day for me. Friday's is our Chinnese night. Every friday for the past few years has been our Chinnese night. We love Chinnese!!!!!!! My husband and I talked this morning and we decided we would resist and not have Chinnese. I hope we can stick with it and not fall into temptation. I can do this!!!

akapjthegreat · 01-11-2008, 01:57 PM

You can do it!

So far so good today. I cleaned up the break room so at least the candies are laying out easy to just GRAB as I'm walking by LOL... I also didn't eat any so HUZZAH!

As for my other bet, we're now on day three and the intense desire to eat fast food is subsiding. Yesterday it was all I could do to not cave... but my desire to win the bet was even more so I managed to overcome.

I did a great job today! i was at a work open house and resisted all of the cookies, crackers, and sandwich bread. I was very proud of myself. I didn't even miss it! I think we're all doing great. Keep it up ladies!

Nicoyaangel · 01-11-2008, 09:24 PM

Helloooo!!!

WeightSmasher · 01-12-2008, 10:52 AM

Well, I did it!!!! YES!!!! I am so proud of myself and my hubby!!! We reisted not eating Chinnese food.........we almost gave in but we talked about it and ended up eating subway!!!! It was hard but not as hard as I made it seem. I felt so much better after we ate........I did not feel guilty....now I know I can do this I just have to be strong and tell myself to do it!!!!

akapjthegreat · 01-13-2008, 07:50 AM

Sweet!

I've also managed to resist the urge. I'm on day 4 without fast food and on day 3 without chocolate!

I feel great!

I'm proud of us!

Nicoyaangel · 01-13-2008, 11:43 PM

Hello ....

How could my mom go to Costco and buy tons of bread?*sigh* But, I am not eating it. No I will not. I went to my dads to eat today and usually we will eat our food and some bread. So, he placed the bread on the table but I got up, walked to the fridge and got out the tortillas. I was so proud. He looked at me like uh oh but I just kept on. haha

How is everyone doing???

akapjthegreat · 01-14-2008, 10:24 AM

Way to go!

I'm adding chinese food to the bet because lately I've just been craving general tsao's chicken like MAD lately and I haven't been able to stop myself from stopping and picking some up from Wok on my way home from work these days.

So yeah, Adding that to my bet.

I've done really well with the fast food though, at this point I'm able to squelch the urges to stop whenever I'm driving by my favorite places.

Hubby and I are going to have to up the bet, because neither one of us is going to cave on this bad boy!

LOL

pedsowk82 · 01-14-2008, 03:23 PM

I've done really well with flour but that is easier for me so I am adding sugar to my list too. Today I was able to resist eating wontons on my salad beacuse I knew I was part of this bet and I didn't want to let everyone down. This kind of support is great thanks everyone and keep going we're all doing great!!!!

WeightSmasher · 01-14-2008, 06:47 PM

Way to go ladies!!! I knew we could do this.........juest don't no one give up now!!!

I LOVE General Tsao's Chicken.........it is delicious!!! But no I wont have none, no I will not!!!!

Well, ladies great job let's keep it up!!
