Re: help with cravings

[Guest guest]

thanks Beth. Tell me more about this fudgsicle and PB. Isn't the

fudgsicle a no-no? I have to admit that I haven't read through the

book entirely (lack of time) but I don't remember seeing anything

about fudgsicles. I would think that my " junk food sensors " would

have spotted that immediately. In fact, I try not to go into a

grocery store because of all the different foods there that I

shouldn't have. It's kinda like the old saying goes -- I want it

that much more because I know I can't have it. A friend told me that

SBD was not a diet, it was a lifestyle change. I replied that

anytime you have to avoid foods you want and eat foods you don't

want -- it is a diet. I still feel that way, but I'm slowly changing

my mind on SBD. I have to admit that the cravings are starting to

die off, but sometimes they get pretty bad.

Thought for the day (and the one that keeps me going) -- Courage does

not always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the

day saying " I will try again tomorrow. "

Thanks for the info. I think the SF stuff still needs to be checked

for sugars like dextrose, sucrose and other natural sugars. Can

anyone give direction on this?

HA!! That is funny about trying not to go into a grocery store. I work

in one! I always say I am like an alcoholic working in a liquor store.

I am fortunate that in my store I face the cash registers. Some of the

stores have the pharmacies right next to the bakery!! Can you imagine

smelling that all day. I am quite fortunate when I want a snack 'cause

it is a quick walk away

Yes, something you only want to have once in awhile. We need to "change-up" our desserts as to not get bored. Try different things and recipes. Don't forget the old standbys like SF jello w/ coolwhip, cottage cheese w/ cinnamon and sweetener.
