Danger Zone!!!

I have noticed my mind starting to creep back into old ways of thinking.  Could I have a diet coke?  Could I have some popcorn or chips?  Should I just share that breakfast sandwich with my son... 

I so need this site to remind me.. I can't go back to that.  I'm not normal.  I can have some chicken or brussel sprouts or something tasty -- but no that other crap stay away!  

The office is full of crap right now.  I am tempted to put out apples and carrots by my desk or next to the sugar crap.  Why does everyone need to bring in carb bombs and put them out for everyone?

rant over :)  Enjoy your day!

It happens often, and it will be a lifelong struggle. We just have to keep fighting I guess.

I know how you feel.  I'm determined to stay away from soda and carbonation. But, I've been eating small bites of forbidden things and I know I shouldn't.  But, on the other hand, I would like to think that I can eat a bite of a cookie and satisfy that longing as long as it is only a bite or two.  Not a whole cookie and certainly not 10, like before.

Merry Christmas and I wish you luck during this very stressful season!

I feel you Stacy! Someone just gave me a tin of dark chocolate covered bacon! It is off to my parents' house after work, they can have it.

I feel you!  I have been really good but today I took a piece of soft pretzel and not that I even wanted it.  I have been able to bypass all of the other junk in the office.

Stacy, I get it, I have fell off the wagon and I  am so upset with my self.but I am getting back on my eating habits. And I will be good.

Oh yeah, right there with you sister! I have had drinks and receptions every day at work for the last week. So yeah, chips are my crack and various other things that shall remain nameless have passed these lips rather easily of late. And I have a bit of a creep up on the scale. Think I've been eating too many calories! Its a daily struggle. Gets harder and harder as time goes. 

I broke up with sugar/carbs quite some time ago.  It wasn't pretty.  I told them, "It's not you, it's me!"  But it really WAS them.  It took awhile to make a clean break, and I still flirt with them outrageously in my mind, imagining what it would be like to get back together, even though I know it couldn't possibly work in the long run.  We're just too different now.  They're a part of my history, and I like to think they won't be a part of my future, but I have to admit, every once in a great while we have a booty call.

We all fight the good fight :-)

This time of year is so hard because there are so many treats around and so many people make homemade and want to share and you just sort of cave in.

I've been there and this week I had FOUR parties/get-togethers.  I did great at one, pretty good at two and really bad at another.

I'm finding that drinking a lot of hot flavored herbal tea is helping me crush some of the cravings.  And if my sleeve is full of tea then I pretty much can't eat.

Happy and healthy holidays to all.  We can celebrate Hanukkah or Christmas and not make ourselves gain weight.  WE can do it.

I hear you on the carb bombs. I'll be guilty myself tomorrow. It's our potluck and I'm taking in pierogis. Being Polish I always bring them in. I wasn't going to bring them in this year, but my coworkers begged me. In turn I asked them to accommodate me and bring in a shrimp tray & veggies!
