    Good job, Sam!!!!!!

    So far, so good-- close enough that I can claim the day.

    Ehhh-- I officially have to retally-- kids are baking frosted sugar cookies and Ginger snaps-- I'm all set to deal with that temptation. But, just picked up 10 year old from birthday party, and they sent goodies home-- they looked good, so I tasted 'em-- and they were awful. But, still-- I ate it--

    So I'll retally in the spirit of honesty and accountability-- (fudgesicles)

    Well I thought I would be posting on here

    Amanda - 5

    Sweets -2

    I had found out we were going to the big town today and I decided that I would have a candy cane milkshake, put it in my calories and everything. Thought about how good it was going to taste and on the way out of town we stopped at the fast food restaurant to get one and when it came my turn to order, at the LAST second I thought I am not ready to give in to sweets so I heard myself say, "just a large water please." My dh and son just looked at me since I had been talking about it all day and it was my idea to go there. I was completely happy with my water. I will have one before Christmas, just not today.

    SO

    If it's not too late, I would like to join this challenge. The more accountable I have to be the better I usually do but sweets are definitely a WEAKNESS of mine.

    Sherry and Choco-- never too late to join-- welcome--

    Brenda-- hang in there. Day by day, that's what it's all about. Press on.

    After I gave yesterday's score to sweets, I indulged in more cookies-- whaddyagonnado?

    Today, they won't defeat me-- day by day, my friends.

    Amanda- awesome job girl!

    Sam- glad you are not phased by the sweets right now

    Marla- see, that's what I am talking about . All those sweets that look delish, made by somebody else, you eat it and it's not all that. Also, had I cheated on something not good and known there were homemade 'for real' good stuff at home, I would have cheated even more too. I think it comes with the territory of this addiction.

    I can claim yesterday, Lori 9, Sweets 0. I was at a party with sweets galore. Cookies, cakes, pies, this big awesome looking chocolate chip cookie with this yummy icing all around the top, which was calling to me so freaking loud. I ignored it. I can ignore my kids when they are loud and bothersome, I can certainly ignore a cookie!

    I was going to ask if I can give sweets only 0.5p :smile:, but after reading Lori's post I should just admit :blushing: that:

    Dew: 6 - Sweets: 2

    I can do better! They aren't really worth it.

    They really aren't. Yesterday I was eating cookies, and I felt good while I was eating them, but as SOON as they were gone, the issues that prompted me to eat them were still there, and I didn't feel a bit better...a little naseaus, but definitely not better.

    My mouth was dry as a desert in church today so I said forget it and popped in a mint, followed by two strawberryy creme savers my aunt "forced" on me after I refused.

    oh gosh... ive been too busy to get online these past two days... and... its been bad.. i had to make 6 dozen cookies for my mom to take to the church cookie exchange.... then she brought 12 bags of 6 cookies each and yea... both yesterday and today were ruined... I didn't pig out but i tried the ones that really looked good, and they all were but I did spread my sugar intake out over two days... at least i didnt scarf everything i wanted in one sitting.... Anyways.. I haven't seen the scale move either up or down, and while im glad it didnt go up I'm disappointed after really pushing myself all week that it didnt go down. But thats probably due to this weekend... ggrrr im so ticked i let sweets win and ruin all my hard work, this is it I'm DONE with sweets!!!


    feeling so ashamed reporting this amongst such all-stars as yourselves, but accountability is key, right?

    Hey Hun, it's your own personal struggle. No one's judging, and yes, accountability is key. :)

    Yeah-- what she said, Carleen-- no judgment here. We all struggle with it. Some days we win, some days we don't-- but we're all in the same boat-- no worries.

    And yes, to echo you both-- accountability is key. You're cognizant of what's going in your face-- that's huge.
