Raises hand tentatively...I'm here! Sorry I slipped up again. I am a stress and comfort eater all the way and those Atkins bars got the best of me again. I am starting afresh today.

Aside from the health issues of eating this rubbish I need to remind myself why they are not a good idea:
- they are very expensive
- I think I can't control portions with them
- They give me headaches
- They seem to = weight gain
- My skin on my face seems to have reacted this time.

So all in all, why am I being so dumb with these things?!

Day 1 sweet free!

Great Job Joe!
Alexa, Glad to see you coming to terms with the Atkins bars. Frankenfood is Frankenfood
Addiction is a tough illness. And that's exactly what it is.
I know that if I have one bite of that sweetness, that it will send me on a binge. I just can't go there. I know me. I'm an addict.
Keep up the fantastic job everyone!

142 days sweet free

I'm coming to the thread and I'm scared. Isn't that crazy? I am giving up my beloved Sweet N Low for Stevia. My plans are to go no sweetener, but for now to switch to a natural form. I've tried a type of NuNaturals liquid stevia before and this time I bought NuNaturals Clear Liquid Stevia. Wish me luck.

Nichole, you will do fine. It's just the few days of adjustment that will be tricky but after that you will be so proud that you switched over!

I'm checking in today:

24 Days, no sweets.........nope, nada, zilch, zero....nothing sweet to eat YIPPEE

Day 9 here - succumbed to sugar at my Mum's party. No sweetners whatsoever here. Not even stevia as no idea have to optain it, and think that's best for now. I have walked past the atkins bars in boots a couple of times and glared at them, lol They do not have power over me!

Great to see you all sweet free for so long.

Re: 2008 How Long Can You Go? "No Sweet" CHALLENGE

Even 15 days after I last cheated I had a major Atkins bar craving randomly last week! They are persistent! Ignored it though.

How is everyone else doing?

Day 20 here.

I'm here Alexa, (tale tucked between legs) LOL
I broke my 142 day sweetner fast on the 4th of July. I was 7 days shy of five months without sweetners. A lesson learned. It was a slippery slope and I allowed way to much food that I wouldn't of if not eating sweetners.
I am a true sweetner addict. I know this. The only way that I can find control is to not eat them at all.
I'm going for 143 days.
Wish me luck!
Day 1, No Sweetners
