ETA: OH NO!!! I just realized! Today, one of my snacks was: Quaker Oatmeal: Lower Sugar Apple & Cinnamon YIKES!!! So I guess I didn't do as good as I thought?!? is there added sugar in this? Everything else on my menu is natural sugars, I think. The only other questionable item is the protein powder has 3 grams. UGH... OH NO... Also, the salad dressing I had: Balsamic Vinaigrette has 3 grams of sugar ~ Double UGH!
I guess I didn't do as good as I thought!
Don't beat yourself up...you are doing quite well!! I've been having protein shakes as well and if I look closer at other things I'm sure that I'll find there's more sugar than I realise...0 -
Um no. I don't really believe in giving up food for a diet. I can see how it might be good for some people, if you want to limit the amount you eat, but completely giving it up definitely will not help me as I will crave it more and probably overeat in the end. Good luck everyone though!0

Sweets aren't really too much of a problem for me, so today was a success!0

Oh god, I haven't gotten a chance to get active on here, with scheduling classes and god knows everything else.
I'm not a normal sweet eater, actually almost never, but I ate CCF for the first time today...

Ooh, I missed this thread yesterday, but I've cut sweets from my diet since last Thursday, so I'm ok. I do use Slimfast at breakfast, but it's a meal rather than a treat/sweet (even though it does contain sugar). I've been having good luck drinking one shake at breakfast and feeling pretty even-keeled until I eat a healthy lunch.0

Okay, I will try from here on out! I will really try!0

I am in. I drink only 1 soda a day, if that sometimes.. My big downfall lately has been candy. During halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and into New Year's, everyone had candy and sweets at work. So no candy has been tough so far. Since 1Jan, I've decided no candy all month. I feel better already without all that in my system!0

yesterday i did good - except my dtr got me really frustrated so by the end of the night i let myself have 3 peppermint hershey kisses. - which is still awesome for me because i have the biggest sweet tooth and there are tons of temptations in this house.
today is going to be challenging because first i plan to donate blood and they always have the best cookies after. then i have a work meeting that typically involves doughnuts. then i will be running around all day so finding a good healthy meal on the run for me and my dtr will be its own challenge (and to not give in to the Mcdonalds drive thru)0 -

I did pretty good on day one. My big thing is chocolate and candy so I'm proud to say I managed to stay away from those type of sweets.0

I'm on a low-carb diet - no sweets for me anyway! Unless you count the occasional post-workout apple. 0

Great to ready everyone's comments and how you guys are going.
Last night we went grocery shopping and it was quite an interesting experience. I never realised how many things you automatically reach for and pop into your trolley on a whim because you're so accustom picking them up. The hardest for me was definitely going down the buiscuit and chocolate aisles - sure I know you should pass them straight but the chocolate aisle is where they have the magazines (got to have my weekly gossip rag!!) and well my husband needed to go down to the biscuit aisle to stock up on rice crackers.
It's Wednesday, start of day three for me and I will continue keeping strong. What helps a lot -I'm in the exercise and water challenge and whenever my body is telling me to just run to the shop and get some chocolate I have a big swig of water instead!! Killing two challenges with one stone if I can say so :laugh:0 -
But.. egg nog!. .I have one quart left!. . lol.0
