Mmmmmh, esp if it is homemade....

CONGRATULATIONS for sticking to plan!

What low-carb bread does Panera have?????

I am on day 9 ..... I have not had any real cravings.. but today I was SALIVATING for something sweet (like donuts or cinnamon rolls).... I had just about talked myself into it since I have not lost any weight in 5 days... I lost 6.5 in 4 days... and nothing since.

But I did not cave.

I've stopped eating dinner. Instead, I have a scoop of psyllium fiber powder dissolved in to about a pint of water. Gross, but filling.

faith ~ doing good! hybrid ~ don't know how you do that! i'm always ravenous at nights (even when not preggos!) i look forward to preparing nice dinners.

i did not have a glazed donut out of the case at the convenience store i stopped at. just bought my bottle of WATER and marched right past them.

I did NOT eat the breaded chicken fingers with BBQ sauce, the mini spring rolls with plum sauce, the pan fried gyoza (sp?) OR the sushi that was served at a meeting I attended. Instead, I ate leftover spareribs (no sauce) that I had cooked on Saturday. It was strange, because I can usually get through these situations without cravings. Today, it was a bit of a struggle. The smell of those evil chicken tenders got to me! But I feel really good about the fact that I resisted temptation!

I didn't eat the pretzel i smelled while shopping ~ sams.

I did not eat any of the birthday cake batter or frosting that I made for my son's birthday. Then I did not eat the ice-cream, chips, or pizza that we served the horde of boys. I also resisted the butterscotch "blondies" that DH made for the party, even though I cut them up and I was really salivating when I did it.

WOW it was hard. Thank goodness no more parties and celebrations until DD's birthday in April.

DH brought the remnants of the party sweets to work today.

Wow! that is some accomplishment! You did great! Keep up the great work!

I did not have the 1x1 brownie samples at costco..but they smelled sssooo good

(This was yesterday) but I did not have any homemade choc.chip cookies that my kids made..ohhh it was sorta tempting. Thank goodness they only made a few cookies and my dad came out and help them eat them.

i didn't have any of the potato chips I bought for my kiddies.

Anyone notice how much of what we don't eat is by or for our kids?

...yep.....
