    Easter confession...

    For Easter my family always has TONS of delicious, sugar- filled foods. Just about everything that makes up our holiday dinners is a BIG no-no. I was sooooo good. I brought what my mom asked me to and had my husband taste it to make sure it was right, instead of giving in myself. When I got to my moms she still had a few things that needed to be done so I helped out. The gravy smelled sooooo good (of course it was full of flour) and I almost licked the spoon, but I stayed strong. I made the biscuits, and almost had one but, again, I stayed strong. My aunt brought in the heaping dish of homemade mac and cheese but I didn't have one bite. For dinner, I had some turkey with celery, cucmbers, green peppers, and broccoli with a little ranch (kind of like a salad) and a few pieces of cheese. THEN... my little cousin (who is 6) comes up to me and asks me to get him some cheesecake for dessert. WHY???!!!!!!!!!! Not the cheesecake!!!! So... I got him his piece and put the lid back on top and put it away. I was sitting there watching him eat his dessert, licking his lips... ohhhh that cheesecake looked soooo good!!! I had brought some sugar free jell-o for me but the temptation got so overwhelming. So then my older cousin is like "Want to split a piece with me?". So I'm trying to get "No thank you" out of my mouth when "Well, how many grams of carbs are in a piece?". My husband looked and told me there were "ONLY" 24 grams in one piece. I talked myself into having "one bite" (famous last words) and ended up eating half of the piece . It was soooo good but afterwards I felt so ashamed of myself . I'm not letting one slip-up keep me down. I messed up but today is a new day and I'm doing my thing today. Just had to get that off my chest and confess my "sins". Thanks for letting me share .

      Your post had me laughing, I even felt your struggle! haha you poor thing, but even though you slip up with the blasted cheesecake you were strong with all the other temptations, mac and cheese, biscuits, gravy oh my! It could have been worst..so be happy about that and just be grateful we don't get another big holiday until july 4th!

        Re: Easter Confession

        Oh! Yesterday was the hardest day for me and all I had to resist was fresh strawberry cake, chocolate Easter bunny, and cookies! If CHEESECAKE had shown up, I don't know what I would have done!! You get points from me for only eating 1/2 a piece! I did eat some catsup. Just a little. It is the first real "cheat" I've had in almost 6 weeks. My loss is slow even sticking to the plan cleanly. Every time I think about cheating I take my blood pressure (isn't getting older fun?). I want it to stay where it is and I want to see my cholesterol numbers come down. My father in law tried to send the strawberry cake home with us! I told the family if they wanted any, they would have to make another visit to Papa's house! He lives one house away so it wouldn't be that difficult.

        It is another day, and we have another opportunity to get it right. All we have to worry about is one day at a time. No catsup for me today. That cake is at someone else's house and the temptations are gone. My meals are planned for tomorrow, and I won't worry about that until tomorrow!

        Happy legal eatin' y'all!

                  I would look here:

                  Atkins Food and Recipes - Atkins Diet

                  Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home

                  I would also look at real cheesecake, not something made with jello as an ingredient.

                      Well you have lost lots of pounds. I have seen people really go astray with desserts. Sweet and creamy can be road paved with added pounds for some of us. So whatever you do - do it carefully.

                        Will do! I am not a sugar person but sometimes you just need something..which Is why I usually save my syrup until I need it.

                            I chicken out! I Went to the store with my list and I just thought about it and thought about it and put the ingredient back, went to the veggies dept and bought somethings I need it plus water then I left (sigh) not ready for that yet.
