Re-Commitment to Clean, Healthy Eating--

I'm with you Kelli.  Sometimes I can be so good and then fall off for a couple of days.  I haven't had the full blown dumping.  I get the heart racing and pains in my stomach but never doubled over sick feeling.  Sometimes I wish I did!!

I have got to kick the sugar to the curb after eating candy at home and work.  I think a weekly check in is a great idea.

Awesome!  Thanks for joining in!!  Eating at work is always difficult---there is always a potluck, birthday or some type of sugary treat available.  I tend to stay away from the desserts but the potlucks can be difficult to navigate--ya never know what someone has added into the simplest protein dish.

Hey, I'm on board with this...will ck in with your thread on also the Holiday Challenge Thread on Sundays' I believe....need all the help I can get....very subject to sugar craving and can't just eat one....they have employee birthday cake in lounge today....guess what....I'm not even going in the room with it....

Love this site!!!

I'm in too Shammy!! Interesting on the dumping thing...I heard that anytime the body receives a tremendous amount of sugar and or fat and has a reaction...The symptoms are dumping. But the term dumping and what we know as rnyers is still the same. So I thought that was interesting because as a former diabetic I would react badly to overload of sugar. Now I know...

I did dump once because Starbucks gave me real sugar syrup instead of sugar free...um not pretty at all.

Thanks for starting this topic. Awesome stuff

Non-SF syrup in my coffee is one of my worst fears.  I'm so anal about it---I always confirm with the barista that they used SF syrup and follow it with--I'm a diabetic and I need to certain.  They usually look confident or panicked and will re-make my order.  I'm not taking any chances!

Add me to your thread.  I make a SF jello that has celery and apples.  I just read something that jogged my memory about those being two of the things you want to buy organic.  I think I am going back to trying to eat more organic fruits and veggies.

I too want to eat healthier, not just less.  I am imagining myself "fencing" off those carbs.  I have to re-assess and kick those back to the curb every once in a while.

Thanks for the post.  I am going to set some goals along this line.  Lin

I'm with you on the organic and what little I do consume--I want it to be of a high quality!  Your jello sounds yummy!  Thanks for joining!

Boy,did I need this! Two weeks ago a bag of Lays lightly saled pota*********jumped in the grocery cart. They beckoned me at night, and I gave in to them and then felt so mad.....They are gone and today I didn't walk down that aisle. I still deal with the "head" stuff and struggle but I am not going to give up-count me in! Brenda

Brenda--chips and crackers are my weakness!  I like salty over sweet and those darn chips (baked lays) are always calling my name!  Ughhhh!  Thanks for joining!

Hey, I'm here!   I try to eat as much organic as I can.  I figure we eat so little, it may as well be good.  I went to lunch with friends today and made sure they had organic beef so I could have a hamburger.

I've met my challenge with the fun sized candy bars at work this week.  I had a couple of them and really want them banned from the face of the earth.  Those things will always be around but that doesn't mean I need to stick it in my face.  I don't dump, but I don't want that to be an excuse.

I'm still in the losing phase and can't afford to let something like a fun sized anything stand between me and getting to goal.  So for me, this is clean up the sugar week.  In the 90's I went 9 years without a bite of sugar so I know it's just the initial few days when it's head hunger, then it goes away.

Great idea Shammy.  I know I need all the support I can get!  :)
