Re: Thurs Morning

Good day all. So glad to see the suggestions on this thread. Doing good here and eating well. Have lots of confidence today and holding my head up high. This is day 9 of cheat free and feeling really good. Heck donuts made an appearance in the office and they didn't even look good to me. WOO HOO! Good job everyone and for those who are struggling forgive yourself and move on. You Can DO IT!!

Re: Thurs Morning

Good afternoon. I restarted Induction this morning. A week before Thanksgiving, I'm feeling that is a somewhat crazy thought as well as the middle of my work week, but I'd rather feel flu-ish today and tommorrow than on my days off. I've been very successfull in the past with Atkins, and have gotten off and gained some weight back but not all thankfully, so before it gets out of hand I'm coming back and avoid the highly processed foods again.
So here I am up a size and a few pounds..... Going to drop back down and more. Not using the scale anymore but just how my clothes fit. The numbers on the scale tend to be my downfall. I get discouraged and they are not moving anyway....... so you get the picture. taking away the excuse....

Re: Thurs Morning

Huh. Well that was weird. I just ate a big cookie, out of nowhere. I haven't had a single craving in a month, and nope it's not TOM (that was last week). I've been confronted with all kinds of things like cookies and potatoes and ice cream and whatever and never once felt the urge to cave, and then today BAM! I ate the cookie provided with my lunch.

I have no idea why, I don't even LIKE cookies.

Anyway, that's my update for today. expect an OMG my head hurts post from me tomorrow! :P

Re: Thurs Morning

Hey Knack,

I feel your headache. Well.. a few days ago I did! I saw the kids had put the peanut butter choco covered cookies in the icebox. MMMM I grabbed one and heard the inner voice say STOP! yet, I shoved the entire thing in my mouth so I woulnd't have to see my hand holding it and toss it out! That would be waisting, ya know! I walked quickly to my office to enjoy my treat! My delish treat.. all mine!

And ya know what? It really did not taste like what I remembered. I kept waiting for the feeling to arrive. The high and satisfaction! heck, I had been doing ATkins for months.. I deserved it! I'm still waiting. I discovered that foods like that no longer give me the satisfaction they once did. They no longer envelope me in gooey goodness feelings and take all my problems away! Nope. Nothing. hmm.. guess I'm winning the war on food being a comfort to me. That cookie sure didn't give me anything but a headache!

lesson learned!

Re: Thurs Morning

Good evening...again, I am late to check in. Great day though. Made cornbread for dinner for hubby and didn't blink an eye! Also made him all the starchy stuff (potatoes, gravy, etc...) and the smell didn't even get to me. The best smell was the chicken breast I made for me and him and thats totally legal!!!

Bought all the stuff to make the gingerbread house...just got tied up with some errands and didn't start today but will in the a.m.
Hope everyone had a great Thursday!

Re: Thurs Morning

yep, I've no idea why I did it. It wasn't even a craving thing, it was just 'okay, I'm going to eat this cookie now' and I did. It was a big cookie too, it didn't even taste that good, and I'm not a cookie person in general. Afterwards I was like what on EARTH just happened? So weird!

i had some carne asada for dinner, along with a lot of water. I'm all set for food tomorrow too. Hopefully I don't get a zillion cravings tomorrow!!!
