Completed day 4 w/ no cheats!!! Even went to dinner with bf and while he inhaled his f'n fries, I just watched. I tried, at one point to grab JUST ONE, but he snatched it away -- we were practically in an arm wrestle! I'm glad he did cuz I don't know if I would've been able to stop...

on to day FIVE!

Welcome Lowcarboli!

WTG Superaunt! French fries are

I'm starting my cheat free over again (I know I don't have to, but I want to). Too much stress eating (even though it's been all LC) and eating something I am pretty sure was full of salt and sugar last night have made me decided I want to do this cheat free cleanly (and I want to get these bloat lbs off ASAP!). Got my exercise out of the way this morning, so that's a good start!

Have a wonderful cheat free day everyone!

Me and DH went to Texas Roadhouse last night and I wanted to eat their yummy bread with the yummy cinnamon butter. But....I thought of you all and resisted!!

I was happy that I didn't afterwards.

I'm going to try and fight it, but it may be unavoidable!!! I'm just picturing myself sitting there, surrounded by boxes of doughnuts and pie. Not good!!!

I'm glad you fought the bread at Texas Roadhouse! I hate that everywhere you go, no one can put down LC stuff. It has to be carby (bread, tortilla chips). Can I please have some cheese?!!

I went out to dinner with one of my friends a while ago. I reached for something on his plate and he wouldn't let me have it either. But I wonder if it wasn't so altruistic "It's not good for you" and more like he's so selfish he didn't want to give up his food!!

If I can make it through the week then I am sure I can do this it is breaking that first carb addiction were at midnight my body is SCREAMING for some sugar man I feel like a drug addict with sugar sometimes YUCK!

But I found this is very common with people with underactive thyroids so if you suffer like I do and you have an underactive throid or are at all close to being hypoglycemic what you are going through is sooo normal! My bf could not understand why I would get this intense sugar cravings that nothing else would make me feel full it is so weird any way I am rambling. Good luck to all!

Um yeah! Last night whilst at dinner, bf has fries and broccoli on plate and the fries took up 3/4 of the plate while the brocolli took up an eighth. Hello?!?!? It's a conspiracy by the american restaurants! They want us fat and addicted so they overload us on the carbage so that we want more and more and more... hehe

DH keeps saying " I don't understand why you don't treat yourself every once in awhile ", Umm maybe its because my butt is big enough???

Anyway, tomorrow is Friday!!

Oh my....this sounds like me and my DH. I will just mention that something he has looks good and he's like "eat some, it won't kill you." I know that there was another thread on it some time ago but why do the people closest to you try and sabotage your efforts? I know he means well but UGH!!! Anyone else feel this way?

That is because french fries are cheap and easy to make. Broccoli isn't so. Plus, look at the way most of us eat- We WANT more fries than veggies. (Well, WE don't, but most Americans do!)

I completed Day 4 cheat free. Yes, I had LC ice cream again, but I am allowing myself LC ice cream twice a week. Beats having a huge binge cheat later on, right?
