Not 20 minutes into this challenge and my daughter walks by eating a rice krispy treat and says "want a bite mom" and I was like sure, uh, I mean no thank you. 20 minutes I have survived! :laugh:
That's what it's all about, Amanda-- one bite at a time. Way to go.
Some days it feels like 5 minutes at a time! Good job.0 -
Glad you are joining us. You can do it!I need to do this so badly! I've been living on sweets lately...I'm going to give it a go. Pretty much guaranteed I will have sweets on Christmas day, but I think (maybe) I can give them up until then. Eek. lol. I'm so weak. How many days until Christmas?

I'm checking in here and I just put water on for a cup of tea instead of the pudding that I really want (it is sugar free, but still not so good for me). Just had dinner and this time is always tough, but I got this.
The day isn't over yet, but I'm claiming it...Day 3 done.0 -

So I had a small and when I say small I really mean small taste of the icing I made to make sure it was right... and I had to level one of the cakes and I tasted the crumbs to make sure the cake was right... I tried talking myself out of it but its for a grade and I wanted to make sure they had the flavors I intended... ugh... Other than that I've been good all day. I did have a piece of dark chocolate but I really don't count that as sweets... its 86% cacao, pretty bitter yet surprisngly good stuff, it had just enough sweet to appease me...
what are ya'lls thoughts on dark chocolate??
Hmmmm-- personally, I'd GONG the chocolate-- dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate-- chocolate is chocolate-- for me it's a no-no--
I agree. If I could have just 1 square of dark chocolate for the health benefits, I would do that, but I buy a bar with the intention of having 1 square a day...and eat the whole thing.0 -
Day 2 for me and I am craving that cupcake on the counter. I will over come this. Just like I have everything else today. So I will do like shuntae and say

Yea I'm on the fence. The antioxidants are great from it which is why I buy as high a % of cacao as I can find but there have been times that I've had one piece and tasted that little bit of sweetness and then gone to craving worse things like cake or cookies. I'm definitely cutting back but at times when I miss my hubby and curl up and watch a sappy chick flick, one square of dark chocolate to really savor just can't be beat...0 -

I know what you mean, but I buy a bag of Ghiradelli squares so they are individually wrapped squares plus since they're so expensive I only buy a bag every month or so and space them out. The thrifty side of me nags at me for buying such expensive chocolate so I push myself to stretch it as far as possible lol0 -
Made it thru day 1 without the sweets.

Well, I had the ice cream cake for my Grandma's 80th birthday tonight, as planned. But, that lead to some of the mini tootsie rolls, too. That's the problem with darn sugar- if you have even a small amount of the junk, it leads to more :explode:
So,
