It's day 6 and I'm still going. I gotta say that I've even amazed myself. I felt pretty bad yesterday but I stayed with it! It's going to be a busy day. My son is in a parade today at 8 a.m. and then a big game later on so I'm going to prepare myself to be as strong as I can be for all the temptation that's going to be out there. I don't know if everyone read my intro,but I talked about a co-worker who wanted to start this together but I knew she wouldn't stick with me,well here is her update, she didn't even last throught the FIRST DAY! Said she got a really bad headache and just couldn't stand it. I'm so thankful I found all of you to help me because(and I'm ashamed to admit) I already started making excuses of why I need to cheat. But I haven't. (I thought about cheating one day.I think day 3 or 4). I really thought about it yesterday but I know why(the girls would understand) the urge for sweetness,the binge feeling that comes to girls at a particular time. But I didn't cave! This is a huge accomplishment for me. I guess I'm weak,but getting through that craving may mean I'm getting stronger or that I'm just serious about it. Thanks to everyone again!!

Re: Day 6
You are doing a great job! You are not weak. Many people who start this WOE go through the same feelings and frustrations. I have not been craving any carbs, but I have been missing them. Does that make sense? It's more about breaking a habit. I've eaten these things for so long that it's like an ingrained action to reach for them.
Last night, I made egg noodles for my husband last night and I almost tasted one to make sure it was done. It's just a habit that I've always done.
This morning, I made my son cinnamon rolls for breakfast and almost licked the icing off my finger.
BUT, last night, I had been a little down at the thought of not having chocolate anymore (Im just finishing up TOM), then remembered that Linda had a nice little recipe for chocolate mousse that was suitable for induction. So, I made that and it made me much happier. It's not that I needed the chocolate, I think it was the variety of something besides what I had been eating this week and that I could still have dessert!
Hang in there - it's going to be great!
And good luck to your son today!!cheri

Re: Day 6
You are not weak! You resisted and that makes you strong - YAY YOU! I have not had many carb cravings at all, but also just the habit is what is getting me. I've posted this somewhere else today but Friday nights are the nights my husband and I get takeout - usually Mexican. Last night I wanted it sooooo very bad - not really the carb cravings but just that feeling of "yay it's friday so let's pig out" - how embarrassing to type that. But I substituted that need with a good dinner (seasoned grilled chicken and a cup of green beans) and the induction friendly pumpkin pie. I "indulged" myself by whipping a couple ounces of heavy cream and one packet of splenda to put on top of the pie and it was AMAZING. I felt satisfied and "spoiled" and happy. And the best part? Afterward I felt NO guilt. Keep going, it gets easier!SLIM IN 6!

Re: Day 6
Oh, heck yeah! Me, too. My only problem is, when I make a treat with a tiny bit of Splenda (so I don't get asthma reactions), I want more...Originally posted by SandyL2002I will have to check out the chocolate mousse recipe..cause I am still wanting the chocolate
Maybe we should just be good girls this next week and get through the Veggie Challenge. Then have the chocolate mousse as a reward afterwards.

Re: Day 6
That's a great idea. I was thinking that I would make the mousse a weekly treat - like a reward on Sundays for not cheating (or eating enough veggies or exercising or whatever). Of course, I've had my treat for the week, then, but that's okay.Originally posted by tmnMaybe we should just be good girls this next week and get through the Veggie Challenge. Then have the chocolate mousse as a reward afterwards.
The recipe was just this:
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 packet of splena
1.5 teaspoons of cocoa powder
I whipped the cream, then added the splenda and cocoa and mixed. Not too sweet - just enough to give me the chocolate feel I wanted. Yay!cheri
