Well, so far I've been off the sweets again for a few days now (I still have sugar in my morning latte as always). So far I feel ok. This week I am going to pick up some stevia to use in beverages. When I crave sugar I can make myself some chocolate milk with stevia yay ( Read more... )

I don't think I've mentioned that I am back on the wagon this week. The two weeks before I had been letting sugar sneak back into my eating. Last weekend, in Austin, I ate especially unhealthfully; I wasn't taking time to eat often enough, so I was eating sugar to keep my blood sugar decent ( Read more... )

Magically, I awoke today not feeling depressed, not looking bloated, not craving sugar, and smelling like chocolate ( Read more... )

Even though I don't think the Weight Watchers weight loss program is necessarily a good one for me at this time, I really liked the meetings. If I could afford it, I would go back to WW just for the meetings, because they teach a lot of NLP-type techniques that are very helpful. The meetings are inspiring, even if you never speak: they are very ( Read more... )

Over the past week and a half or so, I've been trying to increase the amount of fat in my diet... and I've dropped another 5 or so pounds! So thanks, daleth93 for pointing that out. I've long been a believer in eating fat, and I thought I was getting enough, but adding a little bit more (as well as eating more pasta) seems to have pushed my caloric ( Read more... )

So, I have been doing well on the sugar front. I did cave and eat some sugar this week: a bunch of cinnamon rolls on Wednesday night, and a coffee divine (iced coffee, ground coffee beans, and ice cream) on Friday. (I decided to have these sugary things because I was in need of a lot of energy and I didn't have time to deal with my swinging blood ( Read more... )

It's been more than two weeks now since I went sugar-free ( Read more... )

Well, so far the sugar thing has been okay. I am on my period so I thought I would be going nuts, but I am not. I did have crazy cravings earlier but they faded. I made some sugar-free chocolate mousse just in case, but I didn't get around to eating it yet. Go me! I really like the fact that I am not thinking about sugar most of the time ( Read more... )

I finally got on the scale, and I have lost 5.5 pounds in the last week ( Read more... )

Last night R and i had to go to the store for bread and milk (I am eating a lot more bread since going sugar-free. It's honey-wheatberry bread with lots of fiber and no HFCS.) We had to walk through the bakery and it was SO HARD. I could smell all those baked goods. I found myself longing for one piece of cake or even just some frosting. I ( Read more... )
