Givin' up the ice cream

[Ezma 2]

Hmmmm, they might want to use that for their city councel campaign. I know I'd come a-runnin'.

And HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU TOO!

You're right. I CAN be stronger than my cravings, if I don't give in to them. Once I do and I think "oh surely one won't hurt" I know it's all over

I lost the 3 lbs from the chocolates and I want to lose 10 more. That will be hard during the holidays coming but I have to remember that saying "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" I don't want to buy new pants and that's what will happen if I give in to cravings!

OK VV - I enjoyed my nuts last night - good news, it is the last of the whole almonds. Bad news - I had 2 servings, not 1. But, over all I feel good about my significantly restricted consumption since Ezma (bless her) began this thread.

Hope everyone had a 'good' weekend - no major food blow-outs!

[Ezma 2]

Tap - you've done such a fantastic job managing the nuts. I'd say you have a good handle on it now. Wouldn't worry about eating a double portion too much. I, too, had a double shot of ice cream yesterday. Must have been something in the air. I did get a "no sugar added" kind so I feel a bit better about the cheating. I know that I have to keep a good eye on it or I'll be right back where I was and eating way too much, way too often.

[Ezma 2]

Help, help!!!! I'm sinking in the quicksand cone of ice cream. I had ice cream again today. Please tell me that it's still bad even though it's "no sugar added". It's horrible how easy it is to get sucked right back into a bad, bad habit.

Ezma - step away from the freezer. NOW! It's a new week, you don't need ice cream today. And yes, low fat is better than full fat, but the calories still add up. Don't beat yourself up over what's done. Just start anew!

You are stronger than your cravings!

I wonder how are fellow craving-izers (I just made up the word) are doing? RSG? Melolo?ThinnerDenise? SMS?

I had icecream yesterday. Just one serving and I didn't want anymore afterwards...but then. I didn't feel too bad. I didn't really feel guilty. It was like a treat and then I put the rest up.

i had alittle ice cream yesterday its the halloween candy that getting me this week...but its almost gone now

and ive been trying to give up meat i swear that stupid book i read turned my stomach against meat ...ive been meat free for almost 2 weeks ...living off candy and fruit and veggies..

[Ezma 2]

Hopefully you're getting some Protein in there. Soy, Beans and Protein Shakes would all help get it in without eating meat. What book turned you off the meat?

[smsmithart 4]

Skinny bitch diet..man it put me off meat

[tapshoes 2]

SMS - Living a vegetarian lifestyle can be healthy - but you need to up your proteins...lots of Beans and legumes and....dare I say it? NUTS!!!

[smsmithart 4]

Yeah ..we eat nuts a lot and I'm reading how to cook more Beans and Protein foods with out using meat.I haven't given up dairy yet but if I can I will..

[smsmithart 4]

Good news is that I haven't touched a cookie in forever..go me...

And we have oatmeal Cookies in the house all the time for my son ..I don't like them so I leave them alone

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Somebody brought chocolate chip Cookies to work today.

Why can't I find my will power?

[tapshoes 2]

ARGHHH!!! I caved...I consumed probably 1/2 cup of peanuts last night. I stopped shellling them and mindlessly shoving them in my mouth when I realized what I was doing - but by then, the pile of shells was a pile!

I was so happy at (barely) getting to a normal BMI - I would bet I am not today. BUT I won't weigh myself, I will wait until next Monday and be extra vigilant this week in watching what I eat and exercise.

I blame the election - I was plunked in front of the TV when this slip happened!
