I haven't had a blow pop in ages! Sweet nostalgia

Me either! Love the watermelon flavor.
@dkayingram at least you didn't go crazy with the size. Ice cream is my weakness. I never could have just a little.0 -
I must say I am proud of myself. My son wanted Sonic last night after his baseball game. I was so tempted by all of the ice cream, shakes, etc. But I was really good I got a diet cherry slush and was perfectly happy! OMAD for the win

Oh yeah, I'm from Alabama, fully understand. Mercy, I love some fried food!
My family used food to cope and I'm determined to break that cycle.
One of my meals this week was a hamburger steak with grilled onions and peppers, fried okra and black eyed peas with chow chow. It was awesome. Oh and hot sauce, gotta have hot sauce. The meal was southern and it fit the plan. Was also below 1000 calories. Drank my green smoothie, had a fabulous sleep and felt great in the morning! 1300-1400 calorie day and I was able to satisfy that need for fried food.
By the way, you are going to do fine. Southerners can fight this battle as well!
I'm just staying away from sweets at the moment.0 -

I totally agree! The beauty of OMAD is the one meal, no stressing about anything being off limits! I am not good when I try to restrict, for example carbs. It makes me want them even more! I do want to try to carbquick baking mix that Brenda mentioned.
I am trying to limit my sweets, that is a down fall. Sugar free jello has worked well for that.
Hot sauce and chow, should totally be a food group

I understand. Keto/low card is only possible for me for a limited time (without some awesome substitutes). This "new" method is the key to staying on track, when I need a break. My goal right now is trying to limit the empty calories, just for the sake of nutrition. Lots of higher carb foods do have nutritional benefit. Definitely, I'm going to order some Carbquik and attempt some okra and fish frying!
Yeah, I like your idea for a new food group: Southern condiments!0 -
I love slushes! Sonic is my drink stop everyday. Most of the time is just for water or unsweet tea. 0

Their new Fizz products can be low calorie and taste great.
Two of them are 5 calories for a large size!
Mango/Lime and Raspberry Lemon

I saw those last night after I got my slush, I will certainly give them a try as well!0

Good for you on sticking it out at Sonic! I am so happy we don't have one nearby because I LOVE their tater tots. Those would completely ruin my LC streak.
I also agree that hot sauce should be its own food group. I have literally drunk a few drops when I was craving it and was too lazy to cook anything to slather it in. But I also love anything spicy and vinegary, so it makes sense!1 -

Weigh In Day:
Not sure how today was going to go since we ate out a lot with baseball. I tried to make healthy choices and mainly had low carb dinners consisting of salad with grilled chicken. A few blow pops here and there too! Also probably more diet cokes than usually I would consume so I was a bit nervous on the scale this morning. Here is my progress since starting.
2/9 197
2/16 189.6 -7.4
2/23 186.6 -10.4
3/2 184.6 -12.4
3/9 184.6 -12.4
3/16 184.2 -12.8
3/23 183.5 -13.5
3/30 183.5 -13.5
4/6 182.4 -14.6
4/13 181.6 -15.4
So a 1.2 weight loss for the week. I was really hoping to be ridding the 180's goodbye but hopefully that will be next week!
Stay stong!1 -

I was looking at those, but have passed on them because I don't do any calories unless it is time for my omad. I may try one soon though!

Right. Believe I will start purchasing those during happy hour (1/2 price) and save the drink for my meal.

I did try the Mango/Lime. It was delicious, but did make me hella hungry after I had it.0 -

Yeah, I'm, concerned the 5 calorie figure is a little off...

Oh man I was really wanting to try one this week. Being starving after would not be good though. Dang it.

I have never heard of these drinks, but maybe it's whatever sugar alcohol is in them that's causing hunger? I know that any time I drank a non-caffeinated diet drink in my past life that my cravings would be out of control afterwards (which defeated the purpose!).0

Yeah, I'm not sure, it varies. When I was using a larger eating window, didn't pay much attention. Now? Would definitely buy one and wait until mealtime.brittdee88 wrote: »I have never heard of these drinks, but maybe it's whatever sugar alcohol is in them that's causing hunger?

Yeah, these Fizz drinks are supposed to be "natural flavorings" and carbonated water. Understand, some drinks trigger my hunger, along with excessive coffee intake.

Yeah if I try it for sure it would have to be my meal time drink. Would not want to screw up OMAD for a sparkling water that triggers hungry. Would not be worth it at all.0

Ditto! I'm pretty boring with my drinks, though. Only water, coffee, and wine (and the occasional liquor that is clearly not my friend anymore).0 -
I sure was tasty though. I think I may have it again, but closer to when I eat.0
-
I agree if I try it I will make sure it is part of my OMAD meal. Sounds perfect for the hot summer though!

I saw a video for low carb orange chicken and the guy used diet orange soda for the sauce. I wonder if I could possibly use that drink if I can find an orange flavor instead!0

Good morning OMAD friends,
I have been out of town for the later part of the week so no WI today. Will be back on track with that next week. Other than a few indulgences with drinks I think I have done okay. Have had a few 2MAD meals while be away but have tried to make them LC and mainly salads with protein. I think most importantly mentally for me I feel fine. In the past deviating too much or even at all could have sent me over the edge, but now I am okay with the week and know I have done my best with no regrets.
Happy Friday!

Enjoy your life! no regrets!0
