Dear God, Plz hlp my Reeces addiction



Recommended Posts

I do ALMOST ALL of my Groc shopping on line, On teusday mornings, in my underware ( sometimes not) I have been doing this for about a year. No screanming kids, no line, no impulse brownies in my cart. IT's GREAT, the lady that does the shopping has even got to know me and picks better produce then I do. Its time consuming at first but you add a few things to your list a week and before you know it your going down the list just checking things off. Currently it takes me about 30 min to do 2 weeks worth of shopping. The only thing I go to get is specialty Items at the health food store. ( and my albertsons will order alot of specail Items for you if you ask) and Trader Joes. Because I love trader Joes.

you should look into it its a great way to keep a clean house and for the shopping and delivery charge is 10 Bucks its well worth my money.

Dear Dear Mini me,

A women after my own heart! I too am a Reeses junky.................

It's the reason I am so fat in the first place and the reason I can't seem to lose even on the lap band.

I found the new thicker reeses with nuts even better than the old standbys too and now there making them with extra Peanut Butter on the outside instead of all chocolate and they are sooooo good too.

I have a serous problem and I need to address it.

I'm not the kind of person to just give something up for good, It's like dropping a best friend. So I've incorporated them once i a while in my diet. Otherwise I dream about them and then I go crazy..........

So your not alone my friend.

I tried to watch what I ate pre-banding, for a bit anyway, so I only allowed myself 1 since they came out but have you guys ever had the chunk Reese's? The ones that are two or three normal cups all rolled into one... there's a TON of PB in those. Mmmm. Now back to my sad simulation of a "choclate and peanut butter" Protein Bar.< /p>

Why don't you buy some all-natural Peanut Butter (I use smuckers. for 1 tbsp, there is 105 cal, 8g fat, 3g carb, 4g protein) and some viactiv chews (1 piece has 20 cal, .5g fat, 4g carb, and 0g protein).

I would mix together about 1 teaspoon PB & 1 viactiv chew. The nutrition info would be 55 cal, 3.15g fat, 5g carb, and about 1.3g Protein.

And then, I would just lick the mixture from a spoon. Don't let yourself bite or take any pieces in your mouth. Make it last as long as possible. Make sure you count it into your daily food journaling. Limit it as much as possible (i.e. don't have it every day - make it your occasional treat).

I HAVE GREAT NEWS!!!

you know, ever since i got this band, i really have not committed myself to the necessary practices to achieve marked success...thus i have only lost 20 tiny little lbs since march. but today, i had an NSV that was not even weight related!! i completely attribute this NSV to my band, and the way that it has, indeed, modified my behavior.

i go for a tweak tomorrow. i have been beating myself up, like i do before every fill because i have not lost more weight. in a moment of weakness, i bought a king size pack of reece's pb cups. got to the car, could not even weight...i mean wait...to get out of the parking lot and i had the package ripped open. i stopped to get gas, thinking i would finish the pack off while waiting on the money meter to stop rolling.

would you believe that i finished the one single cup and did not want anymore? i was actually able to recognize that the single cup was enough to satisfy the madness.

i tickle myself sometimes...i know, that's perverted, i shouldnt do that...AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! i am so happy!

Oh my, I too have recently discovered a form of Peanut Butter ice cream that is going to be the death of me. It is Breyer's peanut butter tracks. It has mini chocolate chips and big strips of peanut butter and I am in love. I don't understand this at all either. Pre-band, I was not an ice cream person, I never have been. It could be in my freezer and I was not even mildly tempted. I got fat on the crunchy, salty stuff. But this darn peanut butter tracks ice cream, I can't say no. The only good thing about it is I eat some and feel so guilty that as soon as I am done I immediately head for the treadmill.

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH---ladies, thanks for noticing. i relayed this incident to my friend, butterfly1973, as my most significant NSV...and it has NOTHING to do with weight or inches or being over to tie my shoes...and the laces being on the top of the shoe instead of the sides....aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
