OMG, i can't stop eating the halloween candy and my last dietician appointment is next tuesday and i do not want to gain any weight. the first two i was the same weight and this one is at 6:00 at night so you always weigh more at night. liquid diet in two weeks and surgery 12/1/11 so if the halloween candy is not done in two weeks, i am throwing it away. lol. hang in there and don't bananas. when do you start your liquid diet?

i broke down the other day... the night before my 1st fill.... i ate 2 slices of pizza.............. yeah thats 700 cals just for one "meal" if i can call standing infront of the fridge stuffing my face that! I was so mad at myself. Do you think it stopped there.... NOOOOOOOOOOOO 3 fun sized bars of chocolate.... REALLY.

everyone goes thru this...

I even asked my husband and txt my mother "should i have some pizza" both said why not you been good"

i know its not worth kicking yourself over but it still sucks!

HANG in there get that darn candy away from you! put it on someone elses desk!

I keep a bowl of chocolate on my desk at work, full of the good stuff, twix, kit kats, almond joys, Peanut Butter cups and peanut M&M's, for co-workers when they come visit me. I almost never eat it, I like having it there because it helps me with my "will power" and helps me not feel deprived. If I want 1 I'll eat it, but just one, maybe once a week, sometimes once a month, especially during my lady time, at those times I might take 2 lol. I allow myself to have them because I believe in moderation, not deprivation..deprivation and dieting are what got me fatter than I'd ever been in my life. Being able to do this didn't happen over night, after getting the band I've been able to "control" myself a little better but it doesn't stop me from anything other than over eating healthy food! I can't eat 10lbs of grilled chicken or salad, there's just no room for it, but 10lbs of candy or a full size bag of chips.. there probably is lol

But on Halloween I couldn't control myself, I probably had 5 peices, I lost count after a while.. and I only stopped because someone was working at the other desk in my office, otherwise I would have kept going.. I was a little annoyed with myself, but I'm only human. No one is perfect at this. I've had my band almost a year and it doesn't keep me from devouring that whole bowl of candy that sits there everyday, looking at me, whispering my name, I do, I stop me. Candy, especially chocolate, goes down like butta lol, the band isn't much help in this area.. So I hope no one here thinks the band will make those cravings or impulses to binge on anything go away, or that it will make it impossible to eat alot of "treats" it may keep cravings at bay.. but they never completely go away, that's the part we have to work on.

Don't beat yourself up for eating too much of something, you'll gradually learn how to control it if you want to. Hopefully you will learn how to co-exist with "bad" foods or treats without overdosing on them. When I over do it on something, I get up the next day and start over, that's all we really can do. Good luck!

i dont think that the band will help me with that area but im always hungry...and i go straight for the candy - candy is my absolute weakness - everyone has theirs and this is mine - one piece...no way ....it keeps going and going and going...especially the kit kat - that chocolately crunch gets me everytime!! aaaand the worst part is, i did get it out of my house - i brought it to work - just like everyone else did...and you know whats so funny? everyone brings their candy to work and still eats it!!! you might as well just leave it home LOLOLOLOLOL

i just want to feel satisfied enough not to want it....

[JerseyGirl80 12]

Once you start feeling full, your cravings should be more under control.. I know when I'm starving I get ravenous and just want to eat whatevers in site or whatever is easiest to get my hands on. I have to always make sure I don't get to that point of starvation, or else I'm done for, even with the band lol.. Just hang in there!

These evil candy dealers need to "buy it back", they donate it to troops!

That is possible with the band....

But for Halloween even I had 1 miniature size snickers. But that was it.

I had my own business in Michigan, where I did Chocolates, and Fudge.

If you new how much fat is in chocolate, you would loose your itch for it.

It's not healthy at all... But 1 x every Halloween isn't going to kill me.

But it is very fattening.

:Banane51: :Banane51: Yes after being on a rampid chocolate fest for almost a month now and gaining some weight I feel like an idiot. I had it all under control and just one wouldnt hurt right? Wrong I have sabotaged myself but today I was going through the internet trying to find some help with sugar addiction and I found this article about sugar. So Im sharing and I think with the holidays coming we all need to help each other with this.

Tomorrow no sugar for me or the next day or next and Im going on vacation Sunday to Dominican republic but I vow I am only eating healthy nutritious food because I cannot let the holidays get me down. No no no I wont.:Banane51: :Banane51: :Banane51: :Banane53: :Banane54: :Banane57:

[GoBanana 6]

Well I do know how bad all that stuff is...I graduated From culinary school as a pastry chef.....you can only imagine!! Lol

[123crod 170]

Sugar is not my problem it is salty stuff like popcorn, My favorite - chips and salsa at the mexican food places. I tell them not to bring them when my banded friends and I go. But doesn't work when my husband goes. He must have them. One of our favorite places will bake them for you instead of giving you fried ones but it just takes one and forget the meal.

Sanction have a great vacation!
