5 PDT folks

I am so excited.  Not only has the carb fire been quenshed, but the scale has moved from 160 to 153 for the beginning of my day 4!  I have a feeling of fullness and I wait to eat until I feel hunger.  Oh, yeah!  Doing the happy dance:)  How are all of you doing? 

congrats teach!  isnt it a wonderful feeling to have control again?!  ..i am 6 days out from Day 5 of the 5dpt and i am still feeling wonderful! ...i have not had a craving one! and.....NO SWEETT TEA!!..it is now 11 days without a mcd's sweet tea which i was totally addicted to! keep up the great work! -hugs-

Dawn, That was really encouraging!  So glad to hear you are doing well.  If that ugly carb monster reared its ugly head again, would you consider doing the 5dpt again?  Have a great day!

hi teach! the answer to your question... ABSOLUTELY!!!  and if he rears his ugly head again..i will decapitate him!! LOL

OH DAWN...That is so great! That sweet tea is so addictive. You know I heard that the addiction to sugar is like heroin. I believe that. 

Straight sugar is 1 thing that made me SOOOO SICK!! So i (thankfully) dont have that craving & can easily resist really sweet stuff. The rest - i know i can tolerate in small portions (ok, so not the whole tube of cookie dough - but a little bit ) & NO!! I AM NOT KIDDING (but that doesnt happen "often".... but i do realize that stuff like that combined --+ the vodka-- contributed to my down fall. thats the sort of thing i want to get away from)

You know what - on the way home from the Dr.s yesterday - i had to take a different route home just so i would drive past the Carls Jr & order up the usual as WAS the post Dr.s appt "tradition". i wanted some frys from Mcds sooo bad (which im thinking is kinda pathetic) - but i didnt. i resisted & came str8 home.

Candace you are really planning it all out!!!  Going out of your way to avoid trouble is sooo very smart!

REALLY???!!!! i thought it was kinda pathetic (that i had to do that)... Thanks Mark :)

Fantastic~ Good for you!! I wish I were dropping weight like that. My time will come though. Bex
