Weight Warrior 445 Posted August 25, 2013 I unfortunately had to go out of town for a funeral 2 weeks ago. I used to work in business management and wore a dress or suit and heels everyday. Not a single one fit and I had to buy a new dress for the service. My sister has gained quite a bit of weight and have me all her smaller stuff that was too small for me before and it's also too big:) Graceann, Sorry about the funeral but good news on clothes being too big :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't crave them like I used to. Matter of fact, while in the airport the other day, I smelled Cinnabons at the store and it really made me a little nauseas to think of eating one! What a great feeling that was, because in the past I would love nothing more than a big, gooey cinnamon roll from there! (and I wouldn't want to share!) I have a test today though. Its the first day of school for my teenager and I always make something special for the afternoon when he comes home. He wants Lemon Pound Cake, like the one they serve at Starbucks. I hope I can pass the test and not taste it! 1 Rhyzell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aba9903 35 Posted August 26, 2013 I don't crave sweets now either! It's a blessing because my sweet tooth was my biggest downfall!! ----now I just crave everything else :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeepchick42 193 Posted August 26, 2013 I don't have a lot of craving but the ones I do have are always carb based. Whether its really crusty sourdough with butter or birthday cake, carbs are the only thing I crave. However, I have NOT given in to my craving at all. I know if I do I'll be in some serious trouble. 1 aba9903 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
