    Will have to be VERY Strong today

    Today is my daughters Birthday and she wants me to make her a cookie cake...Icing is my downfall. Than later today is a wedding...Again with cake and other tempting foods. I will be taking bottles of water with me and hope to drink myself into fullness so I wont be so tempted. Does anyone have any additional advise? I don't want to mess up I have come to far with loosing the
    cravings for sweets for the most part. I'm on day 5 of a so far so good clean induction.

    It's me again...

    my best advice is to drink plenty of water and satisfy any cravings with something decadently rich and fatty. A slice of bacon or an oz of cream cheese does the trick for me. My "treat" to avoid cravings is to microwave 2-3 oz of cream cheese for about 30 seconds (cover it with a paper towel to prevent explosions all over your nuker) and then top with some DaVinci's SF Raspberry syrup. OH MY !!!!!!!!!

    Good luck with your cravings. It's much better to face your dragons and kill the sweet monster with some high fat tasties. Don't give in!

        wear a dust mask when you fix things you shouldn't have and you will have to make a concius effort to remove it to have any stuff like icing. hopefully the delay will give you time to say WOAH and apply the brakes to that.

        Take your own stuff to the wedding and make sure you are low carb.

          Dust mask! That is a genius idea! Also, what I do when I bake things for other is think about how sick I would get. Icing, that's disgusting! Who would ever eat icing. Icing is for children. Cake! Oh foul, filled with sugar, sugar's a poison. Sometimes a little mind over matter works. Also try snacking on some celery to keep your mouth busy while you're baking so you're not busy sneaking tastes or licking spoons.

            Just an update...I managed to avoid the cookie cake and the wedding cake but I did have some coffee at the wedding...I didn't allow it to rule what went into my mouth after that though. I do feel good about not letting FOOD rule me. I had a good time and no thoughts of GUILT Yea!!!

              Good job!!! Even though I didn't see this until now, I am so proud that you didn't give into any temptations that you probably thought you were going to have. Although, that coffee was still there, but it's better than stuffing your face full with cake and sugary sweet stuff!!! Congrats!!! ^_^ -high fives!-

                        That's fantastic. I admire that you resisted, since icing is my big downfall as well. In fact, because DH does not like icing, pre-Atkins he would scrape the icing off his cake and give it to me. So I always got a double-shot of it! And well, that's part of the reason why I am sitting here as heavy as I am.

                        So good for you! You were very strong.

                        If it were me, I probably would have had to whip up some heavy whipping cream with splenda to curb my icing cravings! LOL!
