OMG . . . it's happening!!!!

Actually, Mom DOES love the Fisher's!!!!!  The caramel kind; Heather M. likes the white cheddar.  I'm the chocolate-ho!!!!

I've been with people who squirt ketchup, dump salt, etc. on their food to stop eating.  WHATEVER works for you is the key!!!

Another idea is the local MSP Barracks (you KNOW they'll eat anything), fire departments, senior centers, etc.  Maybe even a food bank!!!

Of course, any unwanted chocolate could be sent to me!  I promise to give it a loving, nurturing home!!! BWA-HAA-HAA!!!!

Lisa,

I have to agree with everyone else please do not be so hard on yourself.  If you have a tiny piece it is ok. At least now being post op we are not eating the entire box.

((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))

ditto to everyone kiddo.  I know you and me have Dr. K's voice in our brains that we can't get out.  This is a good thing.......but depriving yourself will only make you want it more.  DON'T GRAZE......if you want it, save it for one of your meals.  I stopped snacking and boy did that make a HUGE difference for me.  oh and peanuts are AWESOME for you.  It gives you that salty fix plus you get protein and the good fats.  I had my office order a box of no sugar added hot chocolate for me when they ordered their coffee LOL  So now I can have my chocolate fix and not worry about sugar alcohols (although the sugar that's in the NSA hot chocolate is actually a natural sugar from milk....still only 8 grams per packet).

So I guess hon, the holidays only last for a short period.....get through them the best way you can (I had my grandmother get my diet tea and peanuts and turkey to eat on when my family gets together for christmas this year) and then come january get right back on it.  As you know as well as I do, our window of opportunity is closing soon!!!
