Who gave in to temptation?
Yes, I confess. I had 3 mini Mr. Goodbar's last night, did not dump (I guess only sugar alcohols make me sick- not refined sugar) and today I"ve had a plain Hershey's and a Mr. Goodbar (both mini) and a bite of my daughter's Reese's Peanut butter cup. It is far too much of a temptation having that stuff around- I am going to make DH get rid of all of it.
Oh, I fully confess. I have eaten probably, oh 8 - 10 pieces of candy since the day before Halloween. I was *such* a sugar addict before surgery. I took my time eating them, though. I only ate one at a time, and then would have another a few hours later. That's how I did it. And it was always the little ones (not a full size bar or anything). I did not dump. I didn't always feel quite right afterwards, but not the full-on dumping syndrome. I can't decide if that's a good thing or not. Probably not! But it's out of the house now, so I should be able to stay away from it. But damn, it's hard. I love candy (well, chocolate type candy) and I don't want to get hooked again!
Sounds like you all did an amazing job at staying away from it! That's awesome, and I am proud of you! That is inspiring.
Take care all,

I am very proud of all of you who admitted the truth
I am very torn and confused as to the reactions each of you had. No one really truley dumped from the sugar. Is this good? Is this bad? Will you pu**** the next time? One or two more pieces?
I am scared to death to try it and so I will live through everyone else. I will admit I have an addiction though, an addiction to Wheat Thins. Is that strange??? I think about them all of the time. I tried to buy a different brand tonight at the store because the new brand has more fiber, they are horrible!! I would rather have less fiber than eat these. Oh well, we all have our downfalls.
Have a great week

I did...I had a mini milky way. Talk about temptation. You should have SEEN the amount of candy my daughter and her chronies bagged last night! lol
I had some mini M&Ms Sunday too. And that is ALL I AM GOING TO HAVE. Obviously I don't dump...dang. So I am going to have to keep those size 16 jeans in mind and make sure I resist all temptation in the form of non-nutritious junk. I think I am PMSing...that is the only reason I would want chocolate.

I didn't eat any candy last night. I bought one bag of good candy (Reese's PB cups), because my husband wanted a few. The rest of the candy was yucky (not chocolate) stuff I don't like. I wasn't even tempted though, because I don't want to know whether I will dum*****t. I tell myself I will, and I don't want to be sick. I look at any sweet I love and tell myself it is poison to me. I am trying hard to stick to this behavior, because I don't want to be overcome by the sugar monster. This has been my big downfall my whole life. I don't want to revisit that nasty place.
