uh oh...

I'm so glad it helped, Ms Twin! Lately, with all this stress from my Momma's situation, I have found myself making not-so-good decisions ... Nothing major, but slipping down that slippery path towards "old" eating habits ... So, I need to refocus as well! God bless you ... Dawn & Nick

I have sugar free candies every once in a while. I dump on sugar...usually, but the tootsie rolls are so tiny and have so little fat and calories each, I gave in and cheated by spacing them apart. I did get rid of them and after the last one I ended up getting a headache, so I know they will make me sick in numbers. NO MORE TOOTSIE ROLLS OR OTHER REFINED SUGAR PRODUCT FOR ME! There, now I should be set for the rest of my life...hopefully... Kathy

YUP, YOU ARE SET FOR LIFE, GIRL ... NOW, IF YOU ARE LIKE ME, SOMETHING ELSE WILL TEMPT YOU! YA KNOW MS KATHY, WE ARE ALL DOING SO FANTASTICALLY ... JUST THINK WHERE WE STARTED FROM ... HOW MANY BAGS (& MORE BAGS) OF HALLOWEEN CANDY WOULD WE HAVE EATEN BEFORE SURGERY? NOW, WE MAY HAVE JUST A COUPLE PIECES DURING THE ENTIRE SEASON NOW, IF ANY. I KINDA "CHEAT" GOOD ... MY PROTEIN BARS HAVE CHOCOLATE, PEANUT BUTTER & CARAMEL COATINGS ON THEM, SO I KINDA GET MY SWEET TOOTH TAKEN CARE OF IN A GOOD WAY BY THOSE. I'M SUCH A CHOCOHOLIC THAT IF I COULD FIND CHOCOLATE COVERED SHRIMP, I'D EAT IT SAYING IT WAS MY PROTEIN FOR THE DAY! SO, IT'S RARE THAT I ACTUALLY WANT CANDY OR COOKIES OR DESSERT ANY MORE CUZ I REALLY AM GETTING THAT IN MY PROTEIN BARS. I DUMP SO SEVERLY ON MOST SUGAR & WHITE CARB PRODUCTS THAT IT KEEPS ME FROM EVEN CHANCING IT MOST TIMES, BUT I CAN STILL GET REAL STUPID OVER A FRENCH FRY! BUT, WHEN I LOOK AT HOW MUCH I'VE CHANGED MY EATING HABITS SO FAR, WOW, AREN'T WE DOING GREAT MS KATHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE EVEN GOT MY PARENTS ON PROTEIN PRODUCTS, & NICK AS WELL. WE SHOULD ALL GIVE OURSELVES A PAT ON THE BACK! GOD BLESS YOU GIRL ... DAWN & NICK
