These are my confessions
Is anyone else finding it harder to resist temption lately? Usually when I cook for my family I am so not tempted to eat the carbs that I sometimes prepare for them. But yesterday I cooked and I made biscuits. Mind you, I had eaten about an hour before I cooked the biscuits but when they came out of the oven, I could not resist eating one of them. And it was so good!! And then a few weeks ago, one of my coworkers had some buttermints on her desk and I had not eaten lunch yet and they mints were calling my name...I ate several of them and just knew I was going to be sick...but I did not get sick or anything. I guess the real work is about to begin for me and I so glad I have my support group meeting tonight. I am also so happy I have you ladies to listen to me as well! 
Talk to you soon!
Talk to you soon! 
YES! I ate a tiny little bowl of ice cream last night. I don't think a little bit or a little bite will hurt us. I think allowing those little bits and little bites to become a habit are what will hurt us. To be totally honest, that scares me. Like I'll begin wanting ice cream every night! I know that's a possibility.
Have a good time at support group tonight!!! Get your fill of support, encouragement, and focus.

Recently I bought some 100 calorie packs of cookies and figured I'd keep them around for "emergencies." 
They lasted about three days. I won't be buying those again. Some people say you can be addicted to carbs, and I fully believe it. If I try to eat one of something bad, suddenly I feel like I have to have it all the time. As hard as it is to admit, I am/was addicted to food, and I'm going to be battling it for the rest of my life.

Funny!
Yesterday for breakfast I ate 1/2 a homemade cinn. roll... craving them now that's out of my system... made me feel yucky.. never puked.. just shakey and sweaty! So will probably be a long time before I ever have another one.
My PA says NEVER deprive yourself of something, it sets you up to fail... She said live life as normal as you can, don't tell your self your on a diet.
I live by them words... I have a friend that is miserable and depressed cause she is so by the book... doesnt even go out to eat.
I dont want to live like that.
So far, I have been able to resist eating foods that are "normal" and "bad" for me. I also don't deny myself a treat within limits, though. If I want chocolate, I have one square of the darkest chocolate I can find. That always does the trick...but around my cycle...it might be 2 or 3 squares in a day, once a month!
If I want cheesecake...I make one, at home, sugar free. I can control everything that goes into it. But, I don't use ff products...ever!! Why eat more of something that tastes bland or bad? I would rather have just a little of something rich and satisfying. This goes for all food that I prepare.
My philosophy is to learn to eat just a little of "normal" foods, mainly supported by high protein choices. So far, it seems to be working. All I can say about the biscuit is...you baked them, they sounded good, you ate one...and you enjoyed that ONE biscuit!! What would you have done in December of last year? Don't stress over it, Steph! You are doing an amazing job...and I don't see you of all people, falling off of the wagon never to return!
