Oh, Lordy! That's not the first time -- it was just my first public
confession -- LOL! Trust me -- this has not been an easy year will-power
wise. ;-)

I know the feeling <groaning>

I love ripe, juicy fruit in the summertime,

Oh, yes! Ripened on the tree instead of in a box.

*slobber*

Oh, an i getting your taste buds in an uproar? ;-) I am drooling as I
write.

and my son does, too, so we
always have a lot of it here at the house -- in the fridge and in a big
bowl on the table. Sometimes it really takes a lot of brain work to
remember not to just grab something as I walk by, and I'm not always
successful at it. It's such a long drive to the store, I only do my
shopping once a week or once every two weeks, but if The Kid doesn't eat
it, the horses will. But I know how you feel about waste -- it just
drives you crazy, doesn't it? :-)

I have 60 years of conditioning telling me not to waste food. And many
times through the years food was hard to come by. I appreciate every
bite I get. :-)

It is hard to overcome that conditioning. It seems there is so much to
"undo," doesn't it? I'm a "clean up your plate" girl and I still haven't
conquered that one. My gigantic *** proves that I've never had to go
without, but I'm just, basically, cheap. I have to watch every penny so I
can stay at home. :-)

I, also was taught to clean my plate, with or without dessert.
Childhood conditioning is rooted deeply. I watch my pennies, too. And
save all the leftovers to eat tomorrow.

You've already gotten the advice that keeping your carbs down will help
curb your appetite and it does work. That's been my problem this week
--
I screwed up on Sunday and it's been a mess ever since with the munchie
munchie munchies.

It's those complex carbs that get me hungry for more. straight sugar
doesn't make me hungry.

Yup -- they definitely get me going. The sugar? I don't know -- candy
and the like make me so darn sick, I guess I don't feel like eating
anyway. Until the next day . . . grrrrr

The only candy I like is chocolate; preferably dark choc. And
semi-sweet. But I have sugar in my coffee and tea.

All you can do now is fall back and re-group. You know what to do, it's
just getting it done. You'll get it all figured out and everything will
fall into place, and you'll feel so much better. There's a lot of great
people here to help you get a handle on it.

I was doing pretty good the first couple months. Then it all went to
hell. I guess I am missing all my old friendly foods. I have spent
most of my life enjoying macaroni and cheese. So I am grateful I
didn't fall off the wagon with that BG rocket!

Ups and downs, good days and bad. If we were all perfect, this group
wouldn't be here. ;-)

We got into this mess cause we enjoy food. That enjoyment doesn't stop
just cause we can no longer eat like we used to. But it is different
for everyone. And that is a blessing. I am so glad I can still have
sugar in my coffee which I enjoy so much. But so many people can't.

I haven't tested Mac 'N' Cheese, and I'm not going to. I can eat the
whole thing -- don't want to waste it ;-) -- so I just don't even go there.

Same here. My son's diet has also changed greatly because I am not
going to cook two separate meals. And I won't allow him to eat
chili-mac in front of me. That would be cruel. I will fix him tater
tots or a white baked potato while I have a baked yam.


And wishing there was a pill for won't power ;-)

I would like some of those "won't power" pills myself!

When I find someone who's dealin' those, I'll give you a holler. ;-)

Brightest Blessings!

And wishing the battery on my scale wasn't working this morning. :-(

I am sure there are others who would like that "won't power" pill,
too. Stand in line! I am first! ;-)
