I'm The Candy Monster

So I'm relieved to know that I wasn't the only candy smuggler around. I would buy three bags of mini peanut butter cups or raspberry M+Ms, put one bag in the kitchen and eat the others when I was alone. That way it looked like I was being reasonable. Now it has been over a month since I have had a piece of candy or cake or pie, etc. I'm surprised to find I only miss it if I think about it. When that evil craving does come to mind I think about all the clothes I'm going to wear or how much extra seatbelt strap there will be when I fly and so far, so good.

AMEN!!

I'm glad you are doing well.

LOL... I am the cookie, candy, chips, donut monster in our house.  I used to buy snacks for the grandkids and my hubby would be amazed that "they" ate so much that we would need snacks almost daily!  How sad that I let them take the rap for all my overeating.  Or as all of you say, I was really in denial.  

I sadly still in my pea brain crave some of that food.  Oddly though, when I allow myself a taste, it does not equal the taste sensation in my head!  It is not nearly as good as I thought it would be!  So my head needs a lot of correcting still. 

Good to be out in the light of day!  Haha

I just noticed.....5 months and you're ready to hit goal?? WOW!!!!!!!! 

I still crave some of that crap too. I don't know that it will ever go away. I used to smoke a long time ago and I still to this day want a cigarette every now and then. It doesn't even have to be when I'm out drinking or anything that I would typically have done with a cigarette. Weird! And like you say, giving in to those cravings is never as good as you think it would be.

I used to smoke .. a lot cuz I do nothing in moderation apparently!  But it has been 16 years off the cigs and fortunately, those I do NOT crave at all.  My hubby is like you tho, he would like one every now and again.  Bless your hearts!

Yeah, I can hardly believe that I am just a few lbs from goal.  I am a lightweight but that is still pretty quick.  I should be there by my 6 month check up and I hope to be a bit below actually.  But it is coming off much more slowly now.  I weighed this waaaaaaayyyyy back in high school so this may be where I am meant to be.  I am a short stocky lil woman.  Built like a linebacker, LOL.  But, I was in Walmart trying on blouses and I cannot believe I walked out with a size 10-12 Danskin tshirt!  I am literally half the woman I was.  I was a 24 when I started so I am pretty happy.  

And look at you cruising along with all your weight loss.  So happy to see you doing so well.  

Yeah I love candy too, I know I was the one eating it, there is still easter eggs in my basket but they are abandoned now because bikini season is here.  Just for the record, my son doesn't like candy and I used to tell him to go trick or treating and bring momma home the candy, I ate all the chocolate as he wouldn't.  Sad but true.
