NO SWEETS TIL THANKSGIVING--

Marla64

I am definitely in!

Welcome, Butler-- be strong--

I totally crashed and burned yesterday, my friends-- fudgesicles. (although that's the one thing I don't think I ate-- ha)

Strong today-- I think I may extend my no-sweets an extra day as penance-- no sweets for me until the day after Thanksgiving-- that'll teach me for being so flippin' weak.

I still have not had one piece of candy and there are two huge bags full of mostly chocolate that I am holding on to for my kids. I don't even want it that badly but I loved all the walking we did to get it!

Marla64

candy free, my compatriots!!

My kids collected 18.6 pounds of candy tonight, for real, they weighed it. I ate NONE.

Halloween candy, I don't want to talk about it...:sad:

Halloween candy, I don't want to talk about it...:sad:

Uh-oh-- that doesn't sound good.

Forget what is past, my friend, press on toward the goal--

Still hanging tight my no sweet friends. Today is day 13. The scale has been incredibly kind, gives me the push to keep on going with this.

I need help!!! I did so good, i didn't even put sugar in my coffee for a whole week! Then stupid Halloween comes along and i say, im just gonna eat one piece of chocolate. Thats where it all went bad! Now today i feel sick to my stomach and am still eating chocolate. I can feel my butt getting bigger! AAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

p.s. Its so bad that i havent kept track of my food sense about 6pm last night..... because i lost track.

You know what you need to do, stop eating chocolate! Put it away. Put it somewhere you can't see it. You can do it!

Okay. Your right. Im taking a deep breath and im going to have my husband lock it in the garage in his tool box. Thank you! I needed someone to tell me that.

I just figured out what i ate, i have 634 calories left for the day. No big deal, i will enjoy boiled chicken breast for supper.

Atta girl! You know you can do it. Every once in a while we just need reminders. The important part is that you realized it and didn't just keep eating and eating.

Lock it up? Hell, girl-- throw it out. You don't need it in the house.

Flee temptation, my good woman!

Oh-- yeah, well-- okay, maybe have to rethink that one--

maybe the toolbox will work--

NotSurprised

I'm on board, I dont expect it to be a problem, but I will fight if anything.

You ladies are cracking me up over here! :laugh:

I don't feel as bad knowing some of you indulged in the sweets this weekend too. I'm so mad at myself though. :mad:

I had 4 servings of Cherry Dump Cake on Sunday...holy cow...talk about a binge!!!

And Saturday night I ate halloween candy...too much to even keep track of. My fiance had to take it away from me! LOL!

Back on track today...hoping to have a good week. Good luck everyone!

Cherry Dump Cake? :sick: I didn't know cherries took dumps-- :noway:

Oh, it's soooo gooooood...kind of like a cobbler.

Take 2 cans of cherry pie filling and cover the bottom of a baking pan.
Pour a box of yellow cake mix on top of the cherries.
Melt two sticks of butter and pour on top of the cake mix.
Sprinkle a little crushed pecans and shaved coconut on top.
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes

A very good Thanksgiving dessert....my family makes it every year! (Not sure why we made it early, maybe to sabotage my NO SWEETS til Thanksgiving challenge!)

perfect! Thanks!

fudgesicles-- so my daughter got a call from her neighbor friend tonight, asking her to come over and bake apple crisp with her. Off she went, and came home with a 13x9x2 hot from the oven apple crisp--

Now come on-- how stinkin' unfair? I don't even sniff at the Halloween candy, but fresh baked apple crisp?

Gulp--

Fresh apples, cranberries and oats-- that's healthy, right? Not really desserty-- right???

Fudgesicles--

lol! I love reading some of the conversations on here! I made it another day after my pep talk yesterday I am back on track! Thank you for helping me with my Halloween candy issues. :bigsmile:
