My dad finally finished that dang coffee cake this morning!! :partying_face:

I picked a handful of raspberries that I brought over to my aunt this morning. She came back this afternoon with these sugar free macaroons made with banana, the raspberries, and yummy crunchy cocoa nibs

My sweet cravings are real bad today too! Been lazing around watching tv and the half pint I had left of my sugar free strawberry ice cream disappeared so fast.

I had phases of having no sugar cookies and sugar free chocolates etc…. In the house. And when I had that shit in the house I found myself binging on them. First few nights I’d have the recommended 2 or 3 chocolates or whatever. Then I’d have 4. Hell they’re sugar free. The bag is small. Then I’d eat half the bag one night and finish the next night. Then I wouldn’t buy any for a few weeks. And have nothing in the house.

I have to admit it was easiest when I didn’t have those substitutions in the house. Keep doing what your doing and maybe add in not having it in the house for a few days if your willing. And sometimes I’d switch to salty crackers or single serving
Cheez-it Baked Snack crackers or something. Or those parmesan crisps.

I’ll join you all tomorrow when I score my first 24. I’m back in the game. Don’t let me catch up to y’all :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I think we are getting close to that time of the month so cravings are out of the world for sweet and salt. I’ve had that little thing of ice cream and the bag of chocolate for almost 2 weeks so I promise I’m not binging it lol

He’s baaaaack!

So it worked out well just having someone like chef Louie portion out desserts every night. It was great! I did get in 1 lousy gelato because we’ll it’s France. It seemed like the thing to do. It wasn’t worth it.

On the plane home they had help yourself Kit-Kats my fave. And small Mars bars. I ate them. Of course I ate them. It was gross. I felt gross after too.

So I reset my clock. I’m coming for y’all. Today anyway. Not sure what my plan is now. But I did give up my fortune cookie last night. I hadn’t had one for almost a year. No point in having one and ruining my day one.

By the way. I’m not going to worry about cereal. I don’t eat much cereal anyway. I try to buy the ones with the least amount of sugar in them. And that’s hard to do. But if wifey breaks a boundry at night and I got nothing for dinner I’m going to have cereal in the house. And if I want the rhubarb jam I brought home on toast I’m having it. For me it’s basically after meals desserts cookies ice cream chocolates gelatos sweet snack I’m not going to do. Just like before.

It’s nice to be back.

Do you feel better? I’m mean of course we feel better. But do you notice any physical benefits or healthier things.

I think for me it was more psychological. Maybe less headaches, my backs been feeling better. Mayb3 less inflammation. I’m on day 4 again. I don’t really miss it. I’ve had a few cravings after dinner but they pass.
Great job :clap:

I don’t eat much sugar in general but what was happening was that I was gorging before my period and I felt terrible for about a week. This month I don’t feel terrible. I’m less bloated but still pretty bitchy :woman_shrugging:t2:

I dont mean to laugh but you cracked me up with “still pretty bitchy” I felt that in my soul! Way down in the depth of my soul! Ugggggg I hate the hormone fluctuations that cause that! Its so hard to control. :grimacing::roll_eyes:

Edited to add congratulations on 3 weeks! Thats friggin frackin awesome!!!
