Stepdaughter just walked to the corner store to get ice cream -- so I get to watch her eat it...... and I've been craving sweets all day!!

I'm about to run into the kitchen & grab brownies!!!! :chomp:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
just my 2cents. when I'm craving somewthing really good and sweet. I take a few strawberries, and mix up a scoop of my beverly UMP with a little water making it pudding like, & did the strawberries in, tastes like chocolate cool whip & berries.

Good idea.....but I don't have any fruit -- I stopped buying it cuz it'd go bad before I ate it....

Eh -- I caved & ate chocolate & brownies... :sigh: :rolleyes:

Guess I don't have one... I'll just go sit and pout in my log ... :worried:

I need that whip -- I was very bad today.......

I guess now I have to get up & do cardio tomorrow morning..... :rolleyes:

Where I live is on the verge of a big hill, so if I walk fast enough I can really get my HR up -- walk down, etc etc....
 
Bad to give into temptation. Sometimes it starts a long downward spiral!
Notice most recent date on my log. It started with hubby's birthday, and i'm still screwing up everyday :worried: I can't seem to get back on track! The scales is up about 3 lbs. :bawling: That's why i haven't been logging.
I don't know what to do.

I had mentioned earlier to Bunny that I wasn't even going to say what I ate 2 saturdays in a row a few weeks back but I"ll tell you because I know it will make you feel like you ate NOTHING!! Okay, I had a pint of Ben & Jerry's choc. fudge brownie ice cream earlier in the day but no, that wasn't enough so after I went swimming out at the river, I went and got this mint oreo cookie shake!!!! and it wasn't a kiddie size!! I did that two SAturdays in a row and then on the 2nd Saturday I figured-hell, i screwed up already today, might as well get a nice tasty dinner so I ate a freakin' big ass burrito!!!! with lots o cheese! Feel better??? I've lost 2lbs since then so it's not hard to remember how crappy you feel the next day and unsexy I felt as I tried to wear my bikini the next weekend :(
 
I ate just about everything my heart could've desired in 4 days! Brownies,german choc. cake, ice cream, :chomp: french fries, mcdonalds fish sandwich, :chomp: strawberry jello cake, great big sundae with heath bars and caramel, pizza burger....(I know ya'll are droolin'!)I feel like a failure! :worried:
still been doing my hiit though, I am proud of myself at least for that.(surely doesn't undo the damage though) But I haven't hit the weights. Kids are out on spring break and staying up late...so I fall asleep before i get my workout done.
 
Well, ladies, at least we are not alone -- we have each other & can understand our struggles together..... I'm trying to tell myself that I'm healthier than 85% of the general population....

Big :heart: to both of you....
 
I completely agree Jens :) Don't feel like a failure!! We're human and yes, WE are healthier than most of the population. What I'm doing now is I think back about how I felt when I ate that food and what caused me to get to the point where I couldn't resist the junk and then I think about that and how much more important my well-being is and if I feel that I just can't get the craving out of my head, then I"ll have a small taste but so far I haven't felt like I needed it after I think about that previous stuff. This week is coming up on that time which is usually when my cravings are REALLY monstrous especially for salt but I'm seeing how healthy i've been eating this week and I feel great!!! No cramps, no bloating, nothing and I really believe it's because I haven't cheated :) We're here for you and NONE of us could ever judge or think bad of someone who splurges, just get on track tomorrow :D
 
You guys are evil. I'm 7 weeks out, follow a totally different protocol for diet & training and I am just watching to see how it goes because I have no previous experience with this or how it is supposed to work. Any room for cheats. Nope. None. Currently my "cheat" consists of mustard w/ my steak. Pretty rowdy huh?

My mantra is your post about 'cheat' meals :D

I :heart: Sassy


P.S. AWESOME job Sassy, I am so proud of you and your rowdiness :rose:
 
Thanks guys!! You really made me feel better! :heart: It is very hard for me to get back on the horse when i've fallen off. But I keep thinking about summer coming and how i'm pushing my goal further away! It's hard!
Thanks for the support!
 
Just thought I would add for you ladies, usually when my ladie and I are training for show and have bad cravings, it is your body wanting fat. salt free peanuts in the shell always settle it for us. It is a good source of fat that will suppress that internal craving for fat, but like anything else have them in moderation....
 
****as I look in my desk drawer and realize I could down this bag of Raw Almonds Very easily to curb a craving*** :chomp:


If I ate this entire bag...let's see here

Cals: 1440
Fat: 120 g
Carbs:48 g
Protein: 48 g

*oink*

Hmmm, interesting..... hopefully I'll remember that next time I'm craving chocolate.....

OOH!! Chocolate covered peanuts?? :evil:
 
i cant control myself around peanuts.

I binge on peanuts and fiber one. I cant have them in the house, my husband keeps them (peanuts) in his truck and im allowed one measured oz. a day.

as for fiber one, i cant have it in the house, first i carefully measure out 1/2 cup, and 1/2 cup skim, then after i eat it, im like" mmmmmmm..... that would we so good w/ strawberries" then after that, im like, "oooh, what about yougurt?" then after that im eating it out of the baggie thingie dry with a spoon, and when im done, im sooo frikkin full, and i think about how much cardio i have to do now, and all that FIBER i just ate? Im not gonna be feeling well for a couple of days!

imo- if youre gonna binge, at least you did w/ brownies!!!! not frikkin peanuts and fiber one!

and when i go to the store, i add up all of the $$ i want to spend on stuff i want, and go buy some cute clothes or some shoes. But yea, as far as willpower, i have none. I can easily overeat even healthy food.

hahaha that is so true... when I use to eat Myoplex Light Choc Choc Chip bars, I'd buy them by the dozen and end up dowing like 6 in one serving... I stay away from any and all P Bars unless it's an emergency... :evil: :evil: :chomp: :chomp:
 
ha! last tuesday night i was going to make these really really healthy oatmeal cookies for my husband, and each cookie has like, 30 calories, no sugar, ww flour, ANYWAY

(this convo reminded me of this)

I have the dough(?) in a bowl, and i have some sf applesauce in the fridge right? so im like, oooh, a mock apple cobbler -crisp thingie!

so i put some of the dough in a bowl over applesauce and nuke it, yummy, then im like, i could put vanillia yougurt over that! that would make that taste like ice cream with apple crisp!!! so i did that, by the time my husband got home, all the dough was gone.

this was after i ate my last meal of the day, so i had all my day's calories, PLUS a whole whole whole batch of oatmeal cookies.

yeah. i shoulda just ate real apple crisp for all those calories. at least i woulda used some moderation (probably) hee hee.

i felt guilty, but i always forget about it????? as soon as the water weight goes away.

Girls, we ALL know how that pitfall feels. You've dieted for so long, your results ROCK. You just don't want to ruin it. No, just another day of cardio. Your abs will show tomorrow morning. You love the feel of the burn from the weights. No cheating. None of this. None of that, no msg! no sugar! over and over again...
When you've cheated once for a special occasion and have another craving is one thing.
When you torture yourself for weeks you end up with a binge is another. I learned that lesson well enough to know to eat a *little* bit of that something when I truly crave it. Good diet all week to prove it too. Just do it. You know you won't stop exercising, plus you'll metabolize that stuff in an instant having worked out for as long as you all have.

I personally despise the feeling of guilt. Sweethearts, as corny as I sound right now, try to forgive yourselves right away. Even when you binge. It happens...but you've still done 10x better than someone who doesn't workout or diet. You're allowed to binge once as oppose to everyday, like most of the U.S. :heart:

Unless you're a week away from a competition, just eat a tiny bit. If you're dying to have some, you know you body needs it. You'll feel physically/mentally better inside after doing it.


Amen. And there are *less* bad cheaty options. I make this kickass protein chocolate pudding that is almost like cheating except it's protein, so the bod is taken care of too. (package of fat free, sugar free pudding, 1-3 scoops protein powder, 1 3/4 c. water instead of milk, chill) :) l u v i t.

Hmmm interesting. I think I'll try that. Having a major itch for nacho cheese doritos and double choc chip with oooey gooey chuncks of what-the-hell-ever ice cream. Lawdy...
 
StellarTiggy said:
1 3/4 c? I've been trying to make it with proper measurements but it ALWAYS comes out way too thin. So, you're sure 1 3/4c will work for 1 package? I take it somewhere between 3/4c and 1c will work for half?

It's still pretty slushy, but I use egg protein powder too, so that thickens it up some. I wouldnt use less than 1 1/2 c per package or it's too thick and heavy (for me anyway).
 
Hey ladies, check out the recipe thread for a great cake I made that I think is relatively healthy for a dessert.... Some different flavors of Jello & some fresh fruit would be tasty. Using the Cool Whip is optional....
