Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Celeste, Sounds like you were not as bad as you think you were. I remember someone posting recently that the SBD now considers the occasional thin crust pizza acceptable on phase 2. Obviously it is something that should be consumed in moderation. So... overall, sounds like your Halloween was quite successful!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 You mean hold it down to four or five in one sitting? LOL. Some people don't do the " moderation " thing too well ;-) My wife did make me eat a 3 Musketeers " mini. " Those little bite-sized candy bars that she got for Trick or Treaters. The rest of the bag sits on the kitchen counter where it will likely sit for a week or so till I end up throwing it out.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Donuts are really bad they are very difficult to digest. their is info on that I think in the book why Christians get sick (makes it easier to stay away from some bad foods when you read it.)

I couldn't believe it. Yes, your system changes, and yes, sweet has a whole new meaning now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain why, back in the old days when I would eat a donut, I would be " burping it " for the rest of the day. ICK!! Makes you wonder, when, six or eight hours after eating one, your burps still taste like it. What's it still DOING in there?! Speaking of this - I ate Halloween candy a couple of days ago, and yesterday I was paying the price all morning. OH the cramps and constant toilet-sitting! And I thought sugar alcohols were bad! Turns out real sugar does the same thing to me now. You're right about sweet having a whole new meaning. Yesterday morning I had a banana (to help stop the Big D, lol) and it felt downright DECADENT, it was SO SWEET! It was like candy! I felt like I was cheating, LOL.
