Jellybeans are evil

I'm a year and half out.  Down 176 lbs total.  I've been plateued for a while.  Lately, I've been kicking up my exercise to try and get things going a bit.  Hoping when the weather gets warm I can ride my bike and things like that.   Anyway,  there are these little cursed balls of processed sugar that are flavored like sweet tarts.   The things are like crack to me.  I can eat about a handful with no effects what so ever.  My wife and I bought too many for the kids for easter, Halloween and Easter are about the only time we have candy in the house.   It's so sad that I can't control myself around these little things.  I'll be glad when they're gone, at least until next year.    Besides that everything is going great.  This is the best decision I ever made.  

speed up the process.  throw them away, take them to work and put them in a bowl on the lunch table, whatever you can do, but get rid of them. I have to do that with stuff my wife buys all the time.  If it is there, I am tempted and the opportunity to graze on that crap is very strong.  The easiest thing is for them to not be there. Good luck!!! Scott

ouch!! i have not had the courage to try jelly beans... i bet they are hard to throw away...  try to get rid of them and dont buy anymore!!! LOL good luck

If you have to have those danged jelly beans, Jelly Belly makes some sugar free jelly beans.  they're not too bad.  That might help.

Hi Guys, I (thank goodness) am finding that my sweet tooth is fading away the longer out I am from the surgery.  I don't keep any sweets in the house at all to prevent temptation.  I had a MAJOR ice cream fetish before surgery.  Once I made the decision for surgery, I weaned myself off by switching over to homemade yogurt sweetened with Splenda.  Now I don't even have the craving anymore.   I do keep fresh fruit around the house most of the time, so if I do get a hankering for something sweet, I'll snack on some fruit.  The oranges have been really good this year.  A few weeks ago, I found some kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, bananas, and blackberries at Sam's Club.  Brought them home, macerated the berries with some Splenda, stirred them all together, and had a killer fruit salad that lasted several days. 

Flush them right down the toilet.... and no, you can't eat them first
