That fudge wasn't worth losing my 30 days but what it is is what it is. Starting again on day 1. I don't know if anyone else volunteered to keep the list while Jack is awat. If you did let a shout out and I won't do it tomorrow and I am sorry. If there was no volunteer here is the list for today. Mike - 3/8/2009 -14 Days Nina - 3/8/2009 - 14 Days TigerLil - 3/10/2009 - 12 Days Pony 3/13/2009 - 9 Days Jack-3/19/2009 - 3 Days Cali-3/19/2009 - 3 Days Roxie-3/20/09 - 2 Day Dave - 3/20/2009 -2 Day Fubarcdn - 1 Day

Hi Fubarcdn. I'm grateful to you for taking on the list while Jack is gone. I went to my sister's Friday evening and woke up Saturday Morning with a viral flu, so I had to come home yesterday, but have been too sick to post until now. I am still Obvious Sweets Free, so far. I hope that you have a great time wherever you are going for a week Jack. It'll be great if you do get to stay in touch some through it. My daughter-in-law made some homemade goodies and brought them to us, but I refrained. She didn't know that I started to abstain again. I didn't want to hurt her feelings, so I didn't tell her then. My grandkids enjoyed the goodies instead of me.

I forgot to tell you all that I did go back to the front of this thread and I read every post. It has really helped me to get back on more solid ground with being OS Free. I do intend to go to the Stickies and read the past threads too. I know that this will help me to be stronger.

Hi all, Thanks Fubar, for taking the list. I've been absent due to a really tight schedule. I blew it this weekend, but did two weeks before bombing out! I'm going to read the posts from last week for inspiration. I'm on Day One again - but upbeat and determined! Mike |

Oh sure Mike wait until I post the list until you report in so you can be on the top of it.  I really really hope you know I am just kidding. Did I mention I HATE fudge?

Hmmm. I am going to try but don't think I will make 30 this time out. It is my birthday in a couple of weeks and my daughter in law is a chef and is cooking a big dinner for the occasion. If desert is involved i wouldn't want to hurt her feelings by not eating it. I am such a nice guy.

Hope everyone is well today. I just wanted to check in to say that I am still OS Free, just for today. Fub, thanks again for keeping the list while Jack is away. We miss you Jack, but hope you're having a good time. Where is everyone else?

Keeping the list is a pleasure Nina. It is the only responsibility I have right now except not drinking and not sweeting. It will be interesting to see if Jack has made it through a week away OS free. We are rooting for you Jack.

Well Fub, it looks like you are doing good with your abstinence from OS and so far, I am too. Tomorrow will be a good test for me as it's my daughters birthday and I will be the one making her cake and her birthday dinner. I feel that I'll be okay, but I never really can count on that until I'm past the temptation period. I don't keep sweets in my house anymore because I know that my stinkin' thinkin' will trick me into having some. We'll see. Hang in there everyone.

Hi NIna.It looks like everyone else is playing hooky while Jack is away. When the cay's awat the mice will play. Stay away from that cake. I am sure your daughter will eat the extra piece or at least the icing off of it. I am trying to recruit my wife for OS. Don't tell her I said this but she could afford to lose a few pounds. Now on to the chart. Nina - 3/8/2009 - 18 Days TigerLil - 3/10/2009 - 16 Days Pony 3/13/2009 - 13 Days Jack-3/19/2009 - 7 Days Cali-3/19/2009 - 7 Days Roxie-3/20/09 - 6 Day Dave - 3/20/2009 -6 Day Fubarcdn - 3/22/2009 - 4 Day Mike -3/23/2009 - 3 Day

I have to start again tomorrow(Friday). Went to my mothers for a few days and slipped up on cookies and chocolates. The day had been going well, a run in the morning and a few hours walking around some of my old haunts. I will blame it on fatigue in the evening, but nevertheless still a failure, best wishes all.

Dave, you mean you had a slip, not a failure. It would have been a failure if you had decided to just throw in the towel because you slipped, but you didn't stay down. You got back up and came here to start again, so you haven't failed yet. Pony, it's so good to hear that you are still OS free. It's also just really good to hear from you. I'm happy to hear recovery in your posts. How much longer until you get to go back to work? Cali, I'm glad that you don't feel alone. You're definitely not alone. Never forget that. Anytime you need to talk about your Dad or anything else, I'm here. (((((((((((((Caring & Understanding Hugs)))))))))))))

Guess what Fub. God did for me what I couldn't seem to do myself. One of my daughter's best friends asked if she could pick up my daughter's kids from school today and take them home with her and would I mind if she, her kids and my daughter's kids made her birthday cake this year?! I was so happy about that. So I just told my daughter that I would pay for her and her hubby's dinner tonight if they went out to eat. I kept the baby for her. When they got to the friend's house to pick up the kids, they decided to go ahead and cut the cake & eat it there, since it was so late at night and they needed to go home and get the kids in bed because of school the next day. She then just sent the left-over cake home with my daughter, completely surpassing my house. I never had to see it or smell it. How about that?! My daughter had a wonderful birthday and I never had to face that temptation. Whew............ So, I'm still OS free today. Glad to see that you are too.

Nice Nina. I pictured your daughter as a six year old with pig tails and a taste for chocolate icing. I even pictured her after the cake with it all over her little face and in her blond hair. I am working on my tolerance and giving up resentments so I will publicly apologize to Fudge. Fudge I still love you.  I just can't be with you.Now on to the chart. Nina - 3/8/2009 - 19 Days TigerLil - 3/10/2009 - 17 Days Pony 3/13/2009 - 14 Days Jack-3/19/2009 - 8 Days Roxie-3/20/09 - 6 Day Fubarcdn - 3/22/2009 - 5 Days Mike -3/23/2009 - 4 Days Cali - 3/26/2009 - 2 Days Dave - 3/27/2009 - 1 Day

That really helped me feel stronger for today. I just got the worst financial news I have ever had in my lifetime. I have to remember that I can't drink no matter what...and I do not have to act out on food... not EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cali, I'm very sorry to hear about your awful news. I do hope that you were able to hold strong against any temptations to drown your sorrows in food or drink. Please let us know how you are holding up. ((((((((((Caring Hugs)))))))))) By the way, thank you for encouraging me, even while you are troubled.

 How sweet of you Fub, to picture me so much younger, but you just described my granddaughter, only with brown hair. Anyway........ I think that you are making a mistake to forgive Fudge and take her back as if she's not tried to destroy you. I just can't believe how some men are just so easily blinded by good looks.
