OK, I confess... in my desire to "fit into" this North Carolina lifestyle (why is it we are always trying to "fit into" SOMETHING?), I bought a peck of green peanuts from a local farmer this past weekend and boiled them! I did look up the nutritional facts on them. They have protein but they also have a lot of fat calories. I have been snacking on them more than I care to look at. And I have felt guilty about it. I am a salty food addict more than sweets, and the peanuts felt good in the pouch, which is always touch and go these days, but I know I have to be super vigilant and keep the focus on nutrition rather than satisfaction. You're not alone, Barb! Start the day over!

All nuts are pretty fatty... it is a good fat... however, a serving is literally a cuped palm full. I was eating a lot of nuts, NUT said to cut back... I love nuts so I just stopped eating them because I cant eat just 10 almonds!!! I love salty food as well... if I am wanting salt I eat some Soy Hearts (lightly salted flavor, the cheddar was bleh), baked blue corn chips (trader joes!!), Chinese Rice Crackers... roasted soy nuts are a good choice.. jus****ch the fat :-)

Hi Barb, I think it was great you could share this with us. That says alot about you and the changes you are making. I try to think of myself as far as eatting goes as not normal. If I were normal and had a good metabolism I would have never become SMO. As you know Halloween is right around the corner and I have thought about candy corn and all the other treats that are going to be in our face the next month. I do not plan on eatting candy corn because I do dump. What I do is I try to remember how it tasted. I actually think I can remember the taste along with lots of other foods I loved. Go forward and try not to beat yourself up because as you know we can be our worst critics. Annie

Thanks Annie -

I have to say that I wrestled with whether to post about this or not, but then I decided that I needed your collective support and that I bet that I'm not the only one who has or is going to fall into this hole.

I'm doing much better today as the day and support have moved forward.

I thank you and everyone else for your support.

Love,

Barb

Oh, Barb, It's not sooooo terrible. I know how you must feel though, but you haven't done any real damage and you are aware of the "oops" you made. Stay steadfast and strong. You will persevere! I have faith in you, my friend. Mare xoxo
