    Re: today is sucking for me!!!

    Sorry you are having such a bad day! This time around it took about a week for me to stop craving sugar and I really had to gut it out until then. It was really pretty tough, but during the second week I stopped all my cravings. I am now down 27 pounds (as of this morning, though tomorrow is my official weigh in day) and I am sooooo glad that I stuck it out!

    You can do it! Stick with it! It is so worth it in the end!

      hi alaska, sorry you're having such a frustrating craving day. i thought i was through the worst of it too, as today is my sixth day as well...but, alas, this is not the case. i went out to dinner tonight with a friend. we went to the outback steakhouse. i had a steak, green beans, and grilled onions. and it was all i could do to resist having a glass of red wine. i mean, seriously...i got through that and then the waitress kept talking about cheesecake...i thought i was going to scream! anyway, i made it and now am going to bed. tomorrow is my weigh and measure day...i kept thinking about that and it helped me make it through. here's to tomorrow being easy...and temptation free!

          I think we all have days like that! The cravings during the first week were bad for me but after 2 weeks went by it got easier. And the longer you stay on the plan the easier it gets. So just hang in there! The cravings will pass and you will feel better when you dont give in!

            i'm not sure i should use the ketostix...i mean, i like them because they reinforce that i am actually in ketosis, and this also help me ward off cravings...but i measured my ketones as soon as i got home from dinner and nothing! i was neutral, after being moderate for days...so, i went to the outback page and everything i had, according to them, was legal. i'm guessing i must have eaten too many onions because i had a salad earlier...i don't know. anyway, i am proud of you for staying the course!! and then you were rewarded with inches lost!! that's great...i am hoping for the same result. i will let you know...again, i am REALLY PROUD OF YOU AND HAPPY FOR YOU for resisting those horrid temptations...it sucks to even have them! however, it's awesome to resist them and be rewarded! have a great night!

              you did it!! it is the end of the day now, and you did it!! hang in there. i am having a stay-in night to 'relax', but instead, i am starting to crave one of those mini quiches sitting in my fridge. legal, but no need to be eating at 10:30pm when i have already brushed teeth, etc. i am going to go to bed as well to put a stop to these cravingS!! let's check in tomorrow...harmony, ann, and alaska, GOOD LUCK with weighing in tomorrow!! i am going to hold off until day 14....but that doesn't mean i haven't been trying on my skinny jeans every morning to see how much better they are fitting !!!!

                I promise the cravings WILL get better! But every now and then, you are just blindsided with them. Like I have been lamenting in my journal, I have had the worst craving for chocolate chip cookies for a week!

                Just stick with it and it will pass, but I feel your pain!!

                  Great job making it through Alaska...you will be so proud of yourself when you wake up this morning.. I always say those cravings are like someone who drinks.. I have had a few really bad ones.. I have gone to bed at 8 and just read until I fall asleep.. Anything to win the battle!

                    Hey Alaska, girl you are amazing! Look at what you've done...You've made it through that day....A couple of ideas...How about some strenous exercise during the cravings? Exercise has a appitite surpressant when you've done it...
                    Have a sweet legal treat back up, maybe check out the splenda choch treats...I know that there was an old pro around here who would say, "if you have to eat, whatever you do DONT EAT SUGAR, eat this...and she pointed us towards a legal treat...
                    Treats are hard to handle when you are on the edge of loosing contol. I refused them, and just did other stuff, but since I've been indulging in treats, refusing them is not soooo easy now.
                    Good luck with today...remember goood exercise surpresses our appeitite....
