No sweets til Christmas~

Confession time - my lovely ds came home and told me he needed two dozen cookies in approx 2 hours and so in my haste to figure out what to make I decided on fudge. Well as I was making it with "help" from dd, some splashed on my finger and I popped my finger in my mouth because it was hot and hurt like crazy. I didn't techinally swallow so I am not counting it though! :laugh:
Can't resist. Didn't swallow, huh? :laugh: Don't tell me I was the only one who thought it!
You are good and I'm proud of ya! Keep it up.
I'll report.
Lori- 6
Sweets- nope
Seriously LOL here.
Too funny Amanda and Lori.
Amanda you are doing so well.
I know it is hasrd when you first start this thing. It took me three months to get it right. Now I'm about to go on vacation.....yikes.

Question: with the scoring system we're using if I were to have a sweet at the family Christmas party on December 20th, would my score then become: Brenda 21, Sweets 1?
Makes you rethink your choices when you gotta give the other team a score, huh?
It's all good though. The purpose of this is to make you aware. If you are planning out to eat something sweet 18 days in advance and worried about giving sweets a 1 you are aware my dear. That's the part that matters, much more than the number.
I'm in the same boat...having dinner at Cheesecake Factory on the 23rd and I don't want to give the the sweets a 1. Maybe BF and I can share a slice and I can just have a few bites. Lord knows, I sure don't need a whole slice of that to myself. :laugh:0 -
~~Cheryl - 6
(and I'm claiming 7 - today - now; cuz I don't think I'll be on the computer tomorrow - or while gone - leaving on vacation)
~~Sweets - 0
I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation. I will not give in while on vacation.
......could you guys chant that for me daily, please? Thanks -
"And I will hear you." (what movie line is that quote?? answer on the 13th of Dec.)

Thought I would come on here and just say that in my psychology class today they were selling M&M's for 25 cents and I wanted to so bad then the guy next to me got a dollars worth and told me to give the other 3 packs to my kids. I put them in my purse right away so I wouldn't have to look at them then pulled out a breath mint so I wouldn't be able to smell the chocolate or I would have given in!!!!
We are going to the movies too. This just might be the first time I have ever went to the movies and didn't have candy with me. Hope I can make it.0 -
Ahh...having intense cravings today.0

woo hooooo-- coming here to McCrow-- just went to McDonald's to get my daughter a McCafe. Thought briefly about getting one-- a mocha, since coffees aren't on my McList of things I was McCutting out this month.
But the picture of the McChocolate on the top of the McMocha just looked too McNaughty.
So I got her the McMocha and drove a bit further down to Dunkin Donuts and got a iced turbo with just cream-- no sugar.
Woot-- woot-- woot-- you raise me up, people.0 -
Just have to share...
My best friend came over last night and gave me my birthday present... a tin of handmade chocolate and peanut butter fancy chocolate candies :noway: I can't lie... I ate one... or two!
I guess you guys will probably consider me a failure.:ohwell: I suppose I'm doing "far less sweets til Christmas" than none at all...0 -

Homemade chocolate and peanut butter candies? I would have been hard pressed to stop at one or two. You're staying aware of it-- take from it what positive you can and press on.0 -

Way to go, my friends-- these foods do not have to control us. They have only the power over us we let them have--
We showed 'em today who's boss--0 -
Oh Marla, the other day when I went to McDonalds I saw the Hot Chocolates n SO wanted one but I thought of our big discussion on what I should eat n told myself if I'm going to work so hard to plan stuff out and work hard working out I'm not going to let some McDrink ruin me! Good Job!!!
Another Day in the bad for me!!! yay!!!

Weird, I posted and it didn't go through.
I have to give BACK today because I caved big time and made a late night trip to the grocery store. As a small consolation, I threw the rest away because I didn't want it in my house or my life as of tomorrow. That's a big deal for me, because I don't think I've ever thrown perfectly good SWEETS away.
Sooo...

At a friend's house tonight she had made some english toffee stuff and they were all saying those stupid dreaded words,"Just eat one, it is so good, one is not going to hurt you. " I didn't cave though, I held strong.0 -

Thanks, Marla. I was embarrassed even to post it because you guys are all doing so well! :blushing:
Tonight is my "fake birthday" since my birthday was the day before Thanksgiving and my family was scattered all over the place so I'm saying right now that I WILL have 1 piece (and ONLY 1 piece) of the Reese's Ice cream cake that I have had my eye on at the grocery store since August. :bigsmile: But, the rest of the day... NO sweets!0 -

It all depends on how easy/difficult this is for you. I have people in my "no late night snacking" that are doing far better than me. Because that challenge is harder for me. So if you are sugar-addict or used to eat lots of sweets mindlessly, than the fact that you stop after a few bites is a GREAT victory. We aren't all the same and the harder you work, the stronger you become..
So enjoy your victories, but like Marla said, keep striving for more, so that you achieve more. Accountability is what we want here, right? 0 -
