Gonna Try Again.....

Janet, just start over again tomorrow. I have been eating everything in sight lately If you like a snack with a little kick...........I like baked tostitos with salsa. It's pretty low in fat. Good luck girl! You can do it!

Hey Janet! When you need a sweet fix, take a pack of fat free cream cheese, a tub of free Cool Whip, and a cup of Splenda. Mix it with a mixer and eat it as a fruit dip. Apple is my favorite. It's yummy!!!

That sounds AMAZING! So trying that!

Another sweet treat I like lately is sugar-free jello (5-10 calories in a quarter of a pack!!) and some fat free cool-whip. If you use orange jello it tastes like a creamsicle and if you use lemon its kinda like lemon meringue pie (minus the pie )

I don't know what happened, but I totally blew it yesterday. I ate so much I need smacked!..lol So this morning I had some Fiber One cereal, toast and orange juice. Hopefully I'll do better today.

Diana...I've always been able to do anything I set my mind to do....except when it comes to eating. I eat when I'm happy, sad, depressed, and boredom. I love to eat and it's so hard not to. Bad part is I really like the bad stuff.

You know what Janet, controlling your eating is really really hard! Think about it. When you stop smoking, you stop and you don't physically need a cigarette (after you get past the physical aspect of addition). Same with drugs, alcohol, etc. You can just not smoke, not drink, not take drugs.

BUT you CANNOT go without food - you HAVE to eat, it's not something you can give up cold turkey and say, I will never eat a bite of anything again.

So, this makes controlling your eating doubly hard. It's true, controlling your eating may be much more difficult that any thing else.

I have been eating Lean Cuisine for lunches and dinners, and all of these low fat, 100 calories snacks for about 3 or 4 weeks. I cheat OFTEN! For example, I went to Kingston on Tuesday, so I had my McDonald's. I'm losing, but veeerrrryyyy slowly.

I kind of like having a lo cal meal all ready in 5 minutes, but once I am outside, real food is so enticing!

Keep it up, Janet! I'm not going for thin anymore - just thinner! Keep your goals small and cheat every so often. Or, were you going for the bikini look? I'm not!

That is so true Gayle....and it is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do....and again...I think I'm failing. We finally were able to use the gift card the guy who hit our tree gave us and this is what I ate for supper....fried jalepeno peppers, fried cheese puffs, fried broccoli and cauliflower, fried onion rings, fried catfish curls, tarter sauce and 2 beers. Now is this a heart attack waiting to happen or what????
I was absolutely miserable when we left. Oh yeah...I forgot to add a piece of garlic bread to that.

Me????? Bikini????? No way....LOL. I think the bikini days are over for good. I've got to do better, that's all there is to it or I'm afraid it's going to kill me.
