No more sweets

kris2600

I have decided that from here until at least Thanksgiving I will eat no more desserts or candy, drink nothing but water and milk, and avoid butter, fatty, and sugary foods. I lost around 30lbs just by eating right and eating less than I had been but I can no longer lose weight. I don't really care about loosing the weight but its dropping the baby belly. I have tried all types of ab workouts and I must not be doing them right because they all mess with my back. So to try and loose the gut, no more sugar or junk food. We will see how long I can do it! I love my desserts so it wont be easy but it is something that I want to try. I want to be healthy

You sound like me but sweets are my LIFE lol.... well after my son and guess what he is a sweets fanatic as well lol

Good luck!

Good luck with that....
I find things always go bad when I am too strict with diet and denying some things.

However, I totally understand the "hate" of the baby belly. Ever tried ball workouts? They can do wonders and help the entire core become stronger.

I will have to try that! Thanks! And yes I am being strict on myself and I cant say that things are going to go well but I have very little self control so if I allow myself a hamburger or candy bar, I know it wont stop there, but if I stay completely away I am hoping that I will regain that control and then for the holidays I can celebrate with a small piece of pie or something

I don't know....but good luck.

We do what we have to...I just don't have the self control....AFTER I re-indulge down the road.

It's very important to balance ab work with back strength exercises or you will definitely end up with a sore back. Also, cardio and clean eating (avoiding processed foods, refined sugars etc) is what's necessary to lose the fat. That's a great challenge you're setting for yourself! If you have a sweet tooth, a chocolate protein powder may help!

Sometimes saying NONE NADA ZILCH is so much easier than doing it and sometimes(with me especially) it back fires and I crave it even more. But if you get to that point maybe just incorporate one little sweet fix into your diet that you can live with. It seems if I were to say even no to cod liver oil I would find some sick twisted way that I would want it so I have learned my lesson and just have everything in moderation!!!

I did this.. and it backfired.... but... I did it again and only allowed ice cream.. lowfat good stuff for you and limited amounts and it worked... I am and always will be a junk food junkie..lol.. so good luck to you... its hard... I gave up pop on top of it and on vaca that went down the drain.. but now back on track and no pop or candy for me.. so i know you can do it... I also know if your the type that has just one it leads in to the whole box... I am that person.. so I give you credit for trying and credit when doing.. just dont totally deprive yoruself or youll be miserable.... GOOD LUCK:bigsmile:

That's so how I have to work. I nipped out everything for 3 months once (higher protein, lots of veggis, limited processed carbs, no sugar, limited fat)....got to that whole flat 4 pack ab statues......then went camping and BAM.....bye bye abs.

i am a sweets junkie...if i ate nothing but Cinnamon Hot Tamales, that would be sooo fine with me! i went for a long stretch of no candy and then i ate a little bit and the flood gates opened and i binged on Hot Tamales like they were going out of style!...but i ate so much that i started to get sick of them and i think (i pray!!!) that i am over my sweet attack!....for me - if i cut it out, after a while i stop missing it (same with soda and greasy junk food...i used to live off of junk and soda and it's been years since i've had a craving!)....but just one taste of sugar is all it takes and BAM - i am hooked! candy is my crack and i have no self control either! i actually ate an entire box (7 servings worth) in a matter of 1 hour! :mad: i wish i had self control when it comes to candy....i totally feel your pain! today is day 1 for me of no Hot Tamales and so far so good! don't know if i can make it to november but it's a great goal to try! good luck

My goal is to get past the cravings. I guess I think that treating it like a drug and taking it away completely will help get me past the whole addiction. I still plan on eating yogurt and occationally peanut butter (sparingly), but as far as cookies, cakes, ect... no more. I have given up pop and that seems to be going really well. I don't miss it and I don't buy it. If I don't have it around then I don't even think about it.
Both sides of my family suffer from sugar diabeties and I feel like if I can control my sugar now, I won't have the problems later. I guess we will see

I know the feeling all to well. After my first daughter, I would fix sugar cookies almost everyday and eat them all. I didn't think anything about it until after my second daughter. I had gained about 20lbs with my first and never even realized it. With my second, I did really well! I ate better and made a complete lifestyle change. My husband is a horrible eater and so I was having to fix two separate meals just so I could be healthy. It got tiring after a while so I stopped and now eat whatever. I realized I had a problem when I started trying to hide the food I was eating from my husband. I haven't gained 1lb since I lost it all but I worry. That is why I am being very strick with myself. Food in general is my drug but I feel like if I can control the sugar and fat then I will be alot better off
