Sugar Addicts Unite

[Guest guest]

Personally, I found that when I started drinking tea with Splenda in it,

that was when I started craving sweets again. Up until that point a year

and a half ago, the only fluids I drank were water and skim milk and of

course my protein shakes. Then decided one day to have a cup of tea and

used Splenda and some skim milk and started having a cup every night and

then noticed that I was scavenging for something " sweet " to have with my

tea.

Once I figured out this little night time munching thing with me, I

tried to stop. Like most of us, had a rough time with it and decided

that 2 times a week is ok. Weight for the most part has been stable. If

I see my numbers going higher, I now have the presence of mind to put

the brakes on and take care of it. Keep telling myself that I will never

let it get out of control like I was before wls. But also know never say

never. All I can do is try and that's what I do and thus far have been

successful with it. Would like to lose another 15-20 lbs., but at this

point, exceedingly happy with where I am and if I never lose another

pound, would be quite happy. Also, my body seems to like it here.

Actually put on 8 lbs from my lightest and that's where I seem to always

stop. We'll see.
