I think this will always result in failure. Makes me think of alcoholics --

they do not decide that they will go the rest of their life without alcohol.

They just decide that TODAY they will go without it. Then, tomorrow, they

think about it and decide again.

Hi Kathy,

I must say that I have found abstention is the route for me. I have been off

sugar for several months now and I haven't felt better.

I have added some atkins products that I bake at home. Especially good are the

lemon poppy muffins - YUM! They have 3 carbs each and about 10 gms of protein.

They don't make me dump nor do they make me crave more.

Each time you have your weekly sugar fix you may be starting the whole cycle

again. This is why I abstain.

Good luck

Sugar-Free and Low Carb

I have been struggling with the fact that I love

sweets way too much. So I decided to try a test

this week. My test was to try to go sugar-free for

the rest of my life and see how I did. Here are my

results....

I managed to go for 5 days sugar-free and was

totally ANGRY about it. I did fine during the day,

but at night after dinner.... when I was used to

having something sweet.... that was when I started

to get angry.

But yesterday, at the office, we had a birthday

celebration which included a BIG COOKIE. I did

not make it through the day without eating some of

that cookie.

So now... I am going to try a new test. For the next

month or more, I am going to try to go sugar-free

and low carb for six out of seven days. Fridays are

going to be my special treat day. I believe that

perhaps I can go six days a week without sugar

and low carbs, if I know I can have some at least

once a week.

So, for those of you who try to live without sugar in

your life and low carb, what is your feed-back on

this idea?

Thanks,

kathy

I use splenda sweets. They're low carb and sweet. You don't have to

be without sweets if you're low carbing it. Right now, I'm working

my way through a bag of low carb protein bars that I made - and

they're certainly sweet enough. Or you could make a single serving

of low carb ice cream. I find that if I say I'm going to deny

myself something forever, I want to eat a ton of it. Rebellious

little mind...

Why not just go TODAY sugar free?

The forever stuff is depressing to me, too.

But to plan on " treat day " , to me, is like planning punishment day! That's

the day you'll feel hungry again, and defeated and at the bottom of the

heap. And Sat back in withdrawal.

It's only the FIRST Peep I can't have, not no Peeps ever.

Yes, I totally agree. Sorry for another AA analogy but there is a saying

the first drink is to many and 100 are never enough. If ya don't take

the first one you don't have to worry about the other 99.

I say anything that works for you...GO FOR IT! It's so hard to say what

will work for someone because our motivations and habits and personalities

are so different. One thing I made sure of not to do anymore is beat myself

up when I fall. This enables me to put my energy from my normal guilt back

into getting back onto the horse. This works for me. I do fall, but I get

back up and more importantly, I forgive/love myself. Guilt is very

powerful...in a bad way. Guilt would drive me to avoid doing the good

because I figured once I messed up.../shrug might as well keep it going.

Almost like I would feel more guilty going back to the good after I messed

up..which gave way to..if I screw up on tuesday on my diet, I can " just

start again next monday " . Now I say, next meal I start! I have NOT screwed

up! Is that clear as mud? LOL.
