My husband is killing me!

When I smell something yumalicious I think to myself' date=' and sometimes out loud, "Man, that candle really smells good!"[/quote']

I do the exact same thing! Basking in the scent while taking away the association with food is actually really effective and pleasant.

Also, speaking of bacon, I've been on a ketogenic diet for 16 months. It's often referred to as the 'bacon diet', lol... Other ketoers eat it by the pound but I just can't stand bacon at all. That being said, don't knock high fat/low carb diets, there are loads of health benefits. My cholesterol was way off for years and now it's perfect thanks to the delicious bacon diet.

Any Janet evonavich - Stephanie Plum fans?

I love her books!

Remember when Lula went on her all meat diet and was carting around all that bacon??? LOL

Also a big fan! My favorite was her one of everything diet...one doughnut, one green bean...don't know if I can read them now they always make me crave doughnuts and pot roast w/mashed potatoes!

My biggest crave so far has been Doritos. I'm not a fan but the other day my hubby and I were watching tv and he was eating out of a LARGE bag. Smelled so good and I thought about them for hours. After he went to bed, I thought about licking the cheese off the Doritos...and putting them back in the bag I didn't, but it would have served him right

Lula is a nut!!! man the movie was a huge let down none of the characters where castes correctly!!!!! oh why did they try to put a face to my man in black his hotness lives in my mind only!!!! ugh!!!! lol

Torani makes a bacon flavored Syrup. I don't know what you'd do with it..... but' date=' it's available.[/quote']

Bacon syrup ? Wow - I wonder if you could mix it into fat free plain yogurt?

[Wayless 52]

I'm five months out and have no trouble with gum or straws.

[NMJG 1,266]

Ah' date=' your not supposed to chew gum..At least that is what I was told by my team because it gets the acids flowing in your stomach and causes bubbles.....causes you to burp a lot!!!

you guys are funny!!!!!!!!!!!!

[/quote']

This makes so much sense. I think I was told that but ignored it because I LOVES my gum.

No wonder I get the burbs every day on the ride home. Never once associated the 2. WOW!

My dr said no gum because a lot of sleevers swallow it, and your new tummy gets blocked and you have to have surgery to remove it. Not trying to be a downer, but don't want to see you hospitalized, either.

My nut told me that straws are fine for some people. She said that no one is ever going to pony up money to conduct a serious straw research study. I didn't use one for the first few weeks after surgery -- then I tried, and didn't have any problems.

I so agree with you.... Maybe we should start a book club thread!!!

[JIllette 57]

The new book gets released in November.

Can you say YUCK? Can't stand the thought of bacon flavored anything. I luv bacon but don't like it ON anything (like a burger. It's like meat on meat, yuck)

And bacon in my coffee? Nooooo...

[ElaineB 207]

I did not say she could never have bacon...she is not ready to have bacon.....Come on now..gum is not a food group...Did you not see the booklet they gave you at the seminars.....LOL

They gave us booklets? Lol

Thanks for that. I can't imagine swallowing gum...but it's so true, anything consumable you put in your mouth you have the potential to swallow.
