~~~ Lunacat ~~~ Williamsburg... Death by Chocolate... that would be the end for me... sorry but I am a certified chocoholic. I am off now to make devil's food SF FF pudding.... I am dying for something chocolate and I'm not even PMSing.... heaven help me when that hits....
 
Hey everyone,

Been having computer problems since yesterday afternoon, and its been killing me not to be able to get on this computer. But I did well yesterday with my sweets. Except for the lowfat BB muffins I had yesterday. But the rest of the day was very good. Today has been good for me as far as resisting the sweets. I had whole grain wheat waffles this morning with a tad of SF syrup, Lunch I had some Brunswick stew, and grapes. tonight I haven't planned supper yet but I know later on will be watermelon. Yum!

So far it has been great today.

No sweets today, yeah and to all of you who are saying you have more energy, same here.

Have a brillant idea for a snack tomorrow. For all of you who live bananas and PB... Get a T. of PB, cut up a banana, put some PB on each slice and dip in sunflower seeds....
 
Kim, you're in my thoughts I'm hoping things will turn out fine soon!

Hello everybody. Well today I had a REALLY depressing day. My little brother is getting married on Sunday and I don't have anything to wear so I went shopping today and I didn't find anything!!!!! I swear I'm on the verge of tears! When I saw stores with cute dresses they were size 0 or 2 and then all of a sudden jumped to size 14 (what about the middle ground people?). All the stores with cute clothes had mostly XXS or XS, 00, 0 or 2 and when I finally saw dresses and clothes in my size (average size) they were at least $360 (yeah right!!! I can't spend that kind of money right now!). So I ended up feeling poor or fat. Bad stuff! Anyway, I was tempted to go for Italian ice cream, but I didn't. I had a chicken breast sandwich on whole grain whole wheat bread with salad and mustard (no mayo) and a bottle of Dasani. I'm pretty depressed though. I'm not in the mood to go shopping again so now I'm thinking what I'm going to say to my brother....how pathetic. Oh well...
 
Well, I made it thru the 9th day sugar-free! I'm a textbook stress-eater. Normally, I'd be gourging myself on all kinds of sugar-laced "baddies".

Thank you all for the kind words of support about us losing the house. Shelley, legally, we had an iron-clad contract and could have forced the owner to sell. We do not believe in suing other people. I hope that I would be shown the same compassion and consideration I extended if I really wanted to back out of an agreement. My husband and I believe in honoring all agreements and contracts, but this woman and her husband had serious misgivings about moving to a new state. I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed and I am annoyed that they didn't think harder about selling their house before they accepted our offer and before we got so far into the process. Their timing was terrible and has really put us under a lot of stress since we have to out of our house July 17. We have another house under deposit and so far, things are progressing smoothly. Please pray for His will to be done for all parties involved and again, thank you for your thoughfulness.

Have a great night everyone.

Kim... I hope things go smoothly for you with this new house. Sometimes things happen for a reason and we don't always know why at first.

Well... I don't have anything to confess because technically I didn't cheat... no sweets.. but after my run, I was feeling like I could clean the kitchen out for some reason.... I got into the cashews and ate way too many... WW points??? I can't count that high...:( Nuts.....
 
Well made it through day 9. ate some watermelon and grapes for my fruits today. And it's not long before I go to bed. DH is tired and I pretty exhausted myself. so I know that I won't have a chance to screw up. And still no diet sodas for me. Let me tell you that is harder to resist than any cookie you could put in my face. We will go out to eat and out of habit will want to order a diet soda,but remember I have to get water. But it's all good.

Well off to day 10

Hi Shelley. I was wondering if I could get in on this no sugar thing too? Maybe knowing you guys are all staying away from it will help me too.
Kali:D
 
Kali,

I'm not Shelley, but I know we all welcome you to the challenge! Some days are easier than others, but you're right, knowing we're all together in our struggle is really helpful.

It is also giving us ideas of what else we can avoid now or later. Seeing that we can do the no sugar thing, it lets us know we can do other stuff. Right now I'm trying to stop eating in the middle of the night when wake up (wether I'm hungry or not)! I just started yesterday and am happy to say I did good last night. I went potty and then made a concious effort to go back to bed. And I'm marking each success on the calendar. Seeing a row or two of continuous marks is a good feeling.

Well I've blathered on enough! Welcome and YOU CAN DO IT!

Keep up the great work ladies!

Kim-so sorry to hear about your house, but it sounds like you've got another one under contract now. Hope this one comes through for you.

Even though I had a couple of sweets this month, I am much more aware of what I am eating. I will keep working on staying away from the baked goods, my downfall. Thanks for all the support.

Diana
 
Thanks Nadine. I'm glad you made it through the night! I'm going to start today. You have no idea how much it helps knowing you are all here. DH is supportive but as with anything else we need people to talk to that understand us that have been through and going through the same things, feellings etc. Thanks again!
