Smarties - A Confession

Ok, I must confess - i have a new addiction. Bad Tammy I'm sure I'm not alone out there. Maybe you are like me. While I still make sure I get in my protien, I have developed a craving for something I know I shouldn't. Someone gave me one of those little rolls of circle candies wrapped in a little roll called Smarties. Remember these? I have been having 4-6 a day for the past week. The good news is, they are only 25 calories per roll, bad news is, it has no value what so ever in my diet. Overall I have been good, and I'm still losing 1-2lbs a week. But I know these suckers are no good for me. Plus lately I have been feeling the snacking bug. I try and stick to 100 calorie packs if I cave in. I'm pretty sure on my bad days i'm still sticking to no more than 1000 calories. But I do know that I must regain my control on this piece. It hasn't helped that i've been on vacation this week. Monday is a new day - back to being a good girl again. thanks for listening.

HEY SMARTIE GIRL lol! I have been on a carb thing this last week. My weight is holding steady at 136 (my personal goal is 132, so of course, I stop right before that lol). I have been eating wheat thins and saltines with the ICANNOTBELIEVEITISNOTBUTTER spray on it. I crave it constantly. Who knows why we crave what we do? I try to eat mostly wheat thins so at least they help me go potty lol. I go see my Dr. tomorrow and I am PRAYING my insurance pays to let me remove this skin. I am having LOTS of rashes, itchy, yucky! Anyway, do not feel alone. Have a great week my friend!

Too funny. I have been craving the watermelon and apple jolly ranchers. Again, not healthy but it beats a candy bar.

I have been craving just about everything. It seems like I can eat lots again too. Not as much as I used to but I can see that this is not going to be completely easy. I crave french fries and salty things most of the time. This is the time I need to take control of my food demons and not let them beat me. Is the honeymoon over? Fran

For the past three months I have been really bad and the scales are showing it.....I am eating approx. 1500 calories a day which is way too much, and letting the food demons talk me into eating sweet rolls, s/f ice cream and other no-no's. Let's face it, those things are what made me fat before....why can't I see that. I am only down to 218 3/4 lbs. from a high of 303. I should have lost at least 100 lbs by now and I know it's my own fault. I am faithful to my exercise routine and getting in plenty of protein and water, it's just the extra stuff that is killing me. Need a talk with the head doctor, I guess. I can't fail at this, I promised myself it would work and gosh darn it, I know I am the only one who can make that happen. Keep me in your prayers to get my head on straight!! Pat

Hang in there. Looks like a few of us are having snacking / cravings for munching. Our tool is dependent upon the mental commitment. I do so well staying away from soda. I was drinking so much pre-surgery, now i just need to get that focused on my munchie problem. Remember what made you successful in the begining. One day at a time. Focus on the end prize and how much healthier you feel today. Not wanting to go back to the old "us".
