Easter Candy!

UGGG!! Temptation sucks! I have done soooo well... seeing all the easter candy in the stores... passed right by it... TILL EASTER! I filled the baskets for my kids and hubby Sat. night. I even cut back on the candy and got them a few outfits and little toys instead. But we know we didn't get here by making all the right choices. I ate 1 hershey kiss w/ caramel....ummmm.... then another... well lets just say I manipulated myself, spread out the pieces and ate some more.. Why do I do this to myself?? I kind of hoped I'd get sick... but I seem to have figured out my way around doing that... most of the time anyway. I know what I am supposed to be doing, I've come so far, but it seems now that I'm almost 5 mos out.. I test myself and fail each time!!! I know the response I'll probably get is I need to try harder, be smarter...etc.... and I know this... but like I said, I didn't get to the point of surgery by making all the RIGHT choices... Sorry just needed a minute to vent Hope the rest of the week is better than today !! Jessica 258/194/

I have been the same way. So please know that you are not the only one that has learned to eat small amount os sugar when we should not. I too had some candy yesterday. Some malted milk eggs & jelly beans. Spread out over the whole day, but still not the food I should be eating! I too cut down on candy for my daughter & gave some toys. I was hoping I would get sick too, or just that naseaua feeling, but it did not come. It is hard to make the right choices all the time. Priscilla 198/136/120

o; those choices. yes, it makes it tough when everyone else is enjoying 'candy'. I gave my kids fruit for easter. kept the candy out of the house. I have found the Advantage Smor's protein bars or the chocolate mint protein drink to be good substitute for my chocolate cravings. mark g.

HI Don't feel bad had two pieces of sugarless chocolate. Bonnie

I had a miniature Kit Kat. No problem so then I had a miniature Three Musketeers. Luckily I did get sick so I won't be trying it again for awhile. Funny thing was that I haven't had any cravings for chocolate or candy until I saw that darn Easter basket just sitting there!

Hang in there.. This is the worst time if the year for me.. My biggest love.. Easter Peeps. I didn't have any because of the sugar... oh but how I longed for one. I did however eat some sugar free russell stover candy... It was just as good. You might give it a try. Dianna 290/195
