No Sweets Check-In - June 10 2005

Good job resisting, Nadine!! It's amazing how quickly those calories add up when they're cut in small little bites.

It's about six o'clock and we haven't had supper yet. We are supposed to have steak, baked pot, and salad. Well I have been in the kitchen twice and been giving the eye to those cookies in the cannister. But I pulled out some grapes, but that isn't working. I am not hungry I just am feeding into my anger. I have not had such a good day. I haven't touched those cookies yet and hoping I can keep the willpower I've had in the last 10 day.

Please give me some encouraging words, cause I really need it right now. Can't wait till today is over.

I had the cookies in my hand. The bag was opened. I could smell them. My hand hovered over the bag. And I closed them up and put them back.
 
Shelley - congrats on resisting the cookies. By now I know how much you love cookies.

Terri - LOL ... I can just see you pacing in front of the frig talking to yourself. Way to go for resisting.

Connie/Kim - I'm right there with you with that emotional eating - if there was a contest, I'd win. Last night I didn't indulge in anything sweet but I got into the cashews and ate way too many. I wasn't even stressing or upset.....don't understand what was going on there. Someone had told me to try chamomile tea.... well I was chugging chamomile and eat cashews... I paid pentance today by doing a two-hour workout!!

Day 10, 20 to go... you guys are great, you know that....

LOL! Trouble there Jane? :+

Kim: don't let your anger with your SIL sabotage all the effort you have put into this! She's not worth it and you are giving her too much control! Be strong and get a hold of yourself(all said lovingly of course);-)

Okay, so I walked to the store with my DD and SO. She got a Fudgsicle, he got a banana Popsicle. I got nothing. We were walking back and she cried out "Mommy, help" and I look over and her Fudgsicle is dripping all over her. I look helplessly at my SO and he just shrugs, so I ended up having to clean up the drips before the entire thing disintegrated on her. Wanna know something? It didn't even taste good.x(
 
Your excitement for this challenge is contagious, so no apologizing for long posts! ;) I tend to write long posts myself.

Those bars are called Kashi Chewy Granola Bars- Honey Almond Flax. The box says "nothing artifical", 0 trans fat and 7 whole grains. They have 300mg of Omega-3s, too. All of that is great, but the best part is that they taste really good!

Thanks for the heads up about marrying into a Greek family. hehe I don't think I'll have to worry about it, though. I think I just might end marrying my boyfriend....time will tell.

Connie :D
 
Awwww Shelley! I don't think that should count against you. You HAD to help your DD, right? ;) I think it's a good sign that it didn't taste good. All of your dedication and focus on this challenge is paying off! You're an inspiration!

Connie :D
 
Well made it through day 10 with only the scars of some pot chips, and although it wasn't alot the guilt still sat in. And yes it was stupid to let my sis law put me in a emotional eating rage. But tomorrow is another day. I also didn't eat those cookies before supper. so I very proud of myself. I won't eat any more tonight since I just ate some watermelon.

I really hope tomorrow is better than today. And it makes things easier to know that I can turn to all of you.

Whoa 31 g of sugar in just one bar?! That's a lot. More than half of the "allowed" 50g a day.

I see some people did well while some kinda cheated haha. It's okay. Today I had an oatmeal cranberry almond cookie (11g of sugar) but I split it in half and ate the first half in the morning and the other half when I got back from work. It's not the end of the world. I still stayed below the 50g mark so I'm good right? Let's see how we do tomorrow.
