No Sweets Mar 23rd

Shannon, no one knows:) I would just like to do this till I think I have my sweet tooth under control.
I don;t think having a little sugar in your cereal is bad but I don't usually do that.For me, its picking at chocolates or cookies in the cupboard.This is my problem.

I was just about to grab another Cadbury egg (my mom bought me a 3 pack, what was she thinking!? :D) when suddenly a vision of Catheites waving their fingers appeared before my eyes. I put it back.

Everyone seems a little confused as to what counts as sweets and what doesn't.
Like I said, for me, its the cakes/cookies/chocolate, I could pick at.At work we have a ice cream Bar, and there are lots of condiments to put on your ice cream.I find myself, when comming out of the washroom, grabbing some chocolate covered caramels and Lord only knows how many of those I can eat in the run of a night shift.
So these are my problem areas.Not my yogurt, or the little bit of sugar in my coffee.
I guess we can all figure out what actually needs to be cleaned up in our diets.Im not going to give up my coffee when I only have one a day, I know thats not where my problems lie.
Im not de-toxicing all of the sugar out of my system, I just want to feel like I can make it through a full day without having something.
So I guess its just whatever works for each one of us:) You make your own rules and go from there.

So..Im just getting my butt out of bed , so of course, I have been good today so far:) And I am doing fine.When I went to get DD some lunch our of the freezer, there were cookies staring back at me, but I closed the door and walked away! That must have been a first:)

IMO, it's pretty personal as to what you're trying to avoid here, but I would say as a general rule, we're ALL trying to avoid candy, cakes, and processed crap in general. Personally, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but what I DO have is a personality designed to graze on whatever comes my way. God forbid there is a bag of chips in my vicinity... mooooooo
 
hahahaha! You turned into a cow!:7 :7
You know,even a normal non picking day is throwing me for a loop:7 I got up and I was like...should I poke something in my mouth until I get my coffee? Then I was thinkging...Well..your not hungry! But its the cookie I would normally be poking in my mouth.
Then when I got home from the parent teacher meeting, I made breakfast and even then I was looking in the cupboards.Boy I need this check in bad!:) I think I feel better already!!!

Not certain, but some of us, er, these people, would take advantage of this latitude.;-)
 
I am bumping this up in an effort to displace the enablers in the other thread!!!!! I see talk of chocolate AND peanut butter! (Not to mention some other unmentionables on this PG site.) :7 :7 :7

Day one and no real sweets yet. I did buy some Icebreakers sours in berry flavor just to try them out. No calories, no sugar. Basically just artificial sweeteners. Not health food, but won't make me fat. Tastes like hard candy, not too bad.
 
I'm sitting here staring at a bag of Quaker rice snack cakes. I know, I know, you're thinking - rice cakes? That's good, right??? But, NO! For me, it's very very VERY bad because I am physically incapable of stopping at 1. Or 2. Or 10!

Must go eat salad....
 
Ahhh..you poor thing:) You know, I work with a girl who usually complains that she wants to lose weight.She came to work the other night with a bag of rice cakes,crackers and cream cheese.Which doesn't seem so bad right? But when I came to work the next day all the rice cakes were gone, and most of the cream cheese. She probably thought she was doing something good by eating rice cakes...but not when you eat the whole bag.Thats where people get the whole weightloss thing mixed up.Just b/c its not so bad for you, doesn't mean that you can eat them all.

I did good today.I have to say,I am quit happy with myself.I had a few chocolate chips after dinner and that was it.And beleive me...thats a good day for me!
Lori:)
 
Ok, maybe I should be on the "eat chocolate" checkin, because I did wind up eating one of those mini hershey bars today. Guess that's better than my usual two bars plus some other sort of dessert at lunch. I did manage to stay away from two trays of cookies and candy--one at the office, the other at the client meeting I was stuck in half the day.
 
Did you bring any cookies and candy home. I could use some...oops...outta here....


ETA: I have actually refrained from cookies, candy, pie, cake or any other junk/sweets today.
