Who else did this?

I hosted Christmas for my son, DIL, sister and BIL. When they left I loaded them down with leftovers, but I still had the following lurking in the house: a homemade pumpkin pie, half a homemade pecan tart, chocolate chips (leftover from cookies made for son), dried cranberries (for salad**** cream (for that pie), muffins, and homemade cinnamon bread (Sis's contribution to breakfasts). They were way too tempting and since I'm on vacation I couldn't take them to work. So I threw them all in the trash! I think throwing food away is harder than resisting buying it. Willpower did not come with WLS!

Cleo: good for you! I didn't have to do it at Christmas cause I was at my Mom's but I've done it in the past. whatever works, right? glad you had a nice holiday and congrats on doing so well! I've really been fighting food urges the last few days, work is ramping up. I must get a handle on this willpower thing soon. So far so good but it is scary. ugh ugh ugh. judi

Cleo good for you.....we did have alot of leftovers but the kids friends came over the next few days after christmas and I got all the food out and re heated and said eat eat eat kids.......LOL.....so most of them were eaten and the rest well i threw them out.........

I did the same thing - dumped everything in the trash the minute everyone left. SOOOOO much easier than keeping the temptation in the house... Bekah

It's just my hubby & me. We made very little. Sooo there weren't relly any left overers. I made him a pi in one of those indiv. ready made shells. It was great. I really don't have a sweet tooth anymore. My problem always was salty things. But I pretty much have a handle on that.

Cleo, I had to throw away a bag of Crunchy Cheetos this week. They kept taunting me from the cupboard. I would walk by and they would whistle at me, saying hey baby, just one wont hurt you... Damn frito lay anyways.

Belinda this seems to be my haunting lately the chips and the cheetos....i know i have to stay away from them but they call me also.............uggggghhh

Have you tried Kay's Naturals Protein Chips? The Chili Cheese Nacho flavor and the Crispy Parmesean are really good and knock my craving for chips... Bekah

Bekah i have not tried them YET...but i will be where can i get from? thanks for the tip!

I order them off bariatriceating.com but I heard they will soon be available in Max Muscle stores... they are really good tasting, crunchy, and best of all - I have never had any problem tolerating them (although the Parmesean gives me heartburn every once in a while). A serving is 110 cal, 10 g protein, and I think 15 g carb - a little higher carb than I usually have but I don't get the carb coma after I eat them. I put them on top of turkey chili and it's pretty yummy! Enjoy! Bekah
