No Sweets Check-In - June 30, 2005

I think that I am going to continue the no sweets for another month, with cheats on special occasions. I will probably have something on the 4th. I have been wanting some strawberry shortcake.

I'm with Laurie Mac on this one. I'm going to stick with the challenge for another month or two, only allowing sweets on occasions when they're warranted. After all, I think I've eaten enough sweets over the last 30 years to carry me for the next 30 years!

That's my feeling as well. If nothing else, this has made me realize how much I don't need to eat all the crap I was eating.
 
I'm really not gonna splurge, either. Too nervous to get a sugar headache. But I also gave up Starbucks this month so I'm definitely getting a frappucino tomorrow morning!

This challenge has taught me so much about my eating habits, and my will power (of which I thought I had NONE!!). I can't believe how well I did. I learned that the urge to eat something sweet passes quickly. I learned that when I ate a ___________ (fill in the blank with something fattening and full of sugar) in the past, it led to eating the whole pan or bag.

I plan to continue the no sweets challenge, with an occasional cheat.
 
*peeking in* Just wanted to congradulate all of you on this 30th day of June. It's been so cool to read your posts and learn from your experiences. I gave up on this challenge halfway through, but I realize that just showed me the value of this challenge. So, if I'm welcome back ;), I'm going to seriously commit to this challenge in July. I will allow myself 1 serving of something sweet for the 4th, and then that's it for the month. I'm sure I'll need lots of encouragement, but I feel pretty confident that I can do this.

Thank you for the inspiration and motivation. Y'all rock!!

Well I won't mention yesterday, just to say I will try to be SF this last day. I will continue the no sweets,except for next week on vacation. But after that I am on it full throttle.


Everyone has done a great job.

Hey shelley, are you going to take out one of those biscuits?

Bobbi, I will probably treat myself to a Dove dark chocolate bar. I'm not buying a whole bag of Dove Darks. I realize I am one of those "eat one or two, then might as well have the whole bag" kind of people and doubtfully that will change. That is one thing I am taking away from this challenge, buy one serving for a treat and then I can have only one.
 
I think we should all give ourselves a big pat on the back! This was a really tough challenge, and maybe we weren't all perfect, but we did darn good!

I passed up donuts and mini muffins this morning - and it wasn't even hard to do! This challenge has made me so much stronger, and I definitely won't be undoing all of this hard work by eating a pan of brownies tomorrow. Strawberry shortcake does sound good though. Maybe this weekend. :) :9
 
Whoa there, Jane. I am starting to fantasize about chocolate just reading your post. :D

I don't know, there is something about self-deprivation I like, as my daughter would say, really, really, really, really, really a lot. It makes me feel like I have way more self-control than I actually do.

When you think about that or re-read it, hat doesn't make any sense. But there it is.

I don't know how it came to be that I believed myself when I said, "Self, if you have just one now, you can always have another tomorrow." My husband helps though. I buy him milk chocolate and he will go and eat piece after peice and it's icky to watch him. After half a dozen peices, it's hard not to smack him and say, "stop that or get fat, the way I would!" :) But, once his milk chocolate is gone, he eats my dark chocolate and I consider that a service he does for me since it reinforces the knowledge that there is life without chocolate, until I can restock. It's particularly disgusting since he's very slim and he has terrible eating habits. I may hate him but it's probably just the RMP talking.

Hey Kim.. thanks for asking. I am still "suffering" some. Around lunchtime and after (like now), I get so tired-feeling and "slow feeling". I do perk up some when I work out in the late afternoon. No more headaches, but I just can't shake this lethargy. I will probably stay at half and half next week if I don't get any better over the weekend. I couldn't handle feeling any worse than this.
 
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF US!!!!!!!

I can honestly say that I wasn't counting down the days until I could gorge myself with sweets. In fact I will continue with this, but I do plan on having something sweet and sugary on the 4th.

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN LADIES!!! It was a pleasure doing this challenge with all of you...

"Splurge"? you mean like the Heath Bar Crunch Klondike bar I will be having for breakfast, & the browines & oatmeal/crasin cookies I will be baking?;-)
