Invite to join a NEW GROUP....
Good Morning all-
This is a group dedicated in trying to quit refined carbs and sugars for 40 days- it's not about any religion, or faith- other then faith in yourself. We started the group a few days ago and figured that the beginning of Lent was a good lead in for the group. 40 days seemed like a good start- but honestly, IF we can do it for 40, we can do it for 60? 80? 365? for good?
Many of us have started to cheat a little after wls- and the purpose of the group is to help each other deal with the day to day struggle many of us face. There isn't anyone being judgmental- if we eat something we shouldn't- we help each other move on. Think of it as the 'One day at a time' approach.
Anyone/everyone is welcome to join- the only requirement is a desire to try to quit (or at least greatly lower the amount of our intake of) refined sugar and carbs over the next 38 days- and to be active in the group- offer your opinions, your feedback, your suggestions... You have nothing to lose but a few pounds:

Oh my goodness...I did the exact same thing on my own as a Lent thing, but also because it was an exact number of days to try and give it a go. No refined or processed carbs in my food plans, just super duper whole grain foods, proteins and veggies with occassional lower GI fruit. I have done very well, but as expected, today I am feeling tired, not havng any instant energy for 4 days. I have found that I am eating way less at meal time and filling up fast as I should be given my RNY procedure over a year ago. I am hoping to properly re-commit to the plan after the 40 or so days. I also stopped eating fast food and restaurant foods for the same amount of time. That part is painful because of the social aspect...(that is my true Seasonal sacrifice)...but also goes to show how we socialize around food. It will still be my favorite thing to do because there is always something good to choose from on restaurant menus now a days. I have also vowed to NOT weigh myself for the 40 days.....a HUGE part of my daily life to let go.
Good Luck and best wshes to all in this 6 week endeavor!!
