Curses be to Easter Candy!!

I came very close to relapsing today. I got thru Valentines Day without any problem, but someone mentioned Peeps made with Splenda and I just had to look for them today at the drugstore. And I FOUND them!! Thankfully, they are loaded with other types of sugar that I can not have. Those make me crave really bad, and get the runs. Always have, so I know I need to stay away. But I couldn't believe how I was talking myself into it!!! Finally, I decided to look for sugar free Jelly Belly's. Lo, and behold I found them on the regular candy racks. Oy veh!! I read the ingredients and even though they also had other sugars before the Splenda, they had less, and I was doing a good job talking myself into it. I even decided that if they gave me the runs it wouldn't be too bad because there were only 2 servings in the pack. Surely I could handle that much discomfort. Can you believe this? Thankfully, I suddenly heard "STEP AWAY FROM THE JELLY BEANS!!!" I was able to laugh at that point, realizing my inner strength had stopped me. But MAN!!! Easter rots when you're an addict!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rant over.... -Julie

Way to go in stopping your self! ive been craving alot of crap lately. I wanted soft pretzel so badly this weekend. didnt get them but wasnt happy cause i still wanted them.

hurray for julie! way to fight thru it! {cadbury's carmel eggs have been trying to suck me into their gooey clutches} -- what the hell was i doing in the easter candy aisle anyhow??

Good going Julie!   Actually I have a case of SF Peeps in the freezer - I'm so bad! I don't eat more than 1 chick a day, if that much!  I have been able to walk right by all the other candies though. Even my very favorite in the whole wide world - Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs!

WTG Julie!  I have chocolate issues - peeps and jelly beans are not too hard to resist, but chocolate is downright evil.  One little piece of very dark stuff usually satisfies me if I give in, but the week before my period is just bad bad bad.  I didn't have such intense hormonal issues before surgery.  I maybe had a few cramps and that was it.  Now I have pms, cravings, cramps, and sometimes possession by demons I think.  I saw the Easter candy at the store today and thought of you.  I did not go near it, I am weak and plus I have a tummy ache.

OMGoodness you must be my twin!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE anything chocolate! Especially before my lady time. Oh my goodness I'm so evil! Before surgery I had irregular cycles and NO cramps nothing just a pain going through it. NOW I am mean mean mean and it lasts a week before and sometimes a little after. I find myself doing things I know aren't nice but just don't stop myself. My husband says there is NO pleasing me during that time. He just sits and shakes his head.

I can't stand peeps thank goodness but I could eat my weight in jelly beans... My ultimate, dearest friend is the chocolate. I don't think I'll ever be able to leave him behind..he'll be with me til the end. When I eat sugars that don't agree with me I get dizzy and sweaty, I just lay down and either fall asleep or am very miserable for a while. I'm shaky it's just plain awful. I feel like I'm about to crawl out of my skin.

That would be dumping - your blood sugar drops really fast.    My heart feels like it will explode out of my chest and I get all that you described plus a little sick to my tummy. 

Now, Peeps are available in Canada, but I think they must be a nostalgic taste memory for you people because I had them and I think they are BLECH!

 

they taste like the cardboard they were born into -to me.

However I'm sure barrett's sherbet would have the same impact on you!

 

and dunnyboctor i have to agreee

DAMN ALL THE LITTLE CHOCOLATE EGGS!! 

and I was wondering where all my willpower went today, Think you could share some of that with me tomorrow? lol
