Sugar DETOX Time!

Okay, I am here to confess that i have allowed a bit of sugar back in my life. I have thrown to the wayside the rule of nothing with more than 3 gms of sugar if sugar is in the first five ingrediants. Yes, i am still losing although very slow, yep, still exercising, yep getting in my water, nope not so good at counting protein. BUt it is time the sugar has to go. The damn little kisses( hersheys that is) Taking the first one is the beginning of losing control. Of course my mom has been making cupcakes for my youngest like crazy, Monday is birthday cake day at work and today i am giving up sugar.... What the Hell??? But I will make myself a SF cupcake and eat it Monday. I will eat fruit when I want sweet. I just needed to confess aloud and be accountable. Keep tabs on me please. Thanks, Melinda Have a Sweet weekend

Melinda, I'm with you here girlfriend. I need a swift kick in the butt myself, seems like almost daily I eat something with real sugar. It's the worse thing I could of done, especially since I don't dump. I did go home yesterday and throw away some of the junk food, hid the rest for the kids and hoping "out of site, out of mind" works for me. We can do this, the tool is there, I understand it takes 3 days to detox, so I'm going to try it. Good Luck! Dana

I'm having a terrible time detoxing myself. I do fine for 2 meals, or even for a whole day, but then the carb monster rears it's ugly head and screams for MORE! I used to be a chocolate nut before WLS, but now it is salt and carbs. I tried to have some whole grain carbs around, so that I'd get more fiber in when I indulged, but I still want to demolish the entire bag/box/container of it once I start. And then I dump. You'd think that dreading the dumping would prevail over the desire for the carbs, but not so far. grrrr, Sue O.

Oh Sue, do I feel you on this one! I sat at my desk today eating pretzels, knowing damn well they were gonna make my head spin and my eyes ache, but I ate them anyway. Why oh WHY do I do such stupid, stupid things? I can avoid the sugar, except for once a month, and even then just a couple of kisses make me perfectly happy, but the carbs are killing me lately! Like you said... grrr
