sticking to the basics - thursday
Nan,
I wanted to say a big THANK YOU for your suggestion at last week's meeting about sugar-free Jello. I've been getting awful carb cravings the past few days while I'm at work, where there's always lots of pretzels around. I don't need those pretzels! And when I've measured out a half serving of them, that is unfortunately enough to give me a case of the foamies, ugh. So yesterday I made a package of Jello and brought it with me. Over the course of the day, when the carb craving**** that's what I ate. I ended up eating a little less than half of it, and I was very happy with that! Not only did I manage to avoid the pretzels, but I also avoided the other carbs I'm sure I would have eaten throughout the rest of the day, had I given in to the pretzels.
So thanks for your suggestion! I stocked up on Jello, and will definitely keep it my regular rotation.
