I'M GOING CRAZY HERE!!!

I am off carbs.... If I can make it.... I know carbs are my enemy and I decided to cut back, way back.  I had eggs and cheese and microwave bacon for breakfast.  For lunch I ate catfish.  It did have some breading but just a little.  Also a little green salad.  I have snacked on almonds and had sugar free jello.  But I WANT something SWEET.  Before surgery I did not care for sweets at all.  Now I love everything sweet and ice cream is my very favorite.  I think I need a 12 step plan!!!!

Good for you Little-Ladybug.. I so need to throw out my carbs out of my diet too... It's my biggest enemy... I need to get back to eating my boiled egg & microwave bacon for breakfast as well.  I use to snack on a few peanuts throughout the day but have gotten into such a habbit of snacking on these Pretzel Crisps in the Chipotle Cheddar flavor from Wal-Mart.. things are so addicting or they are for me..  

I really never cared about sweets either before my surgery.. but it's like it's so hard to turn them away now... I'm with you on the 12 step plan.. I definately need that plan too....

I am sorry Little-Ladybug you having such a rough go of it.I too am having a little of the same problem although I haven't had my surgery yet.The doctor told me to lay off of carbs and sweets.I can't have nothing but eggs,cheese ,vegi's,(not potatoes, though)salads and lean meat like chicken and turkey,fish.I swear I am having such a hard time with this situation.I just get to where I eat just once a day and then I  or  because I ate so much in that one sitting of salads and chicken. I need a 12 step plan also so it will be easier to handle this.

Hope you hang in there and have a Blessed day! Love your music by the way!

i know its tuff right now, but you are going to feel so much better for doing it..... could you drink a low carb protein drink, or chew some gum, maybe some tic tacs..... I have heard of people takeing heavy whipping cream and pouring rootbeer over it, said it like a rootbeer float

Good for you, Debbie!!!!!  You can do this.  I buy s/f popsicles and when I really want ice cream, they are great.  You will do great.  Love you!!!

Hey there Debbie!  You can do it!  Hang in there! 

Thank all of you for your encouragement!!!  I am hanging on.  I have wished that sugar made me dump.  It doesn't!!  I am cooking fresh squash and green onions, pork chops and rice and gravy for supper.  I hope the squash does not have many carbs.  I will eat that and a pork chop.  The rice and gravy is for Jimmy.  Rice does not tempt me at all.  Now if it were mashed potatos I would be in trouble!!!
Carmen, thanks for the idea of sugar free popcicles.  I had not thought of them.

Hi Debbie you can Do It!  I like potato chips alot!!! I wish I didn't.When are ya'll coming up this way? Love you Ellen
