I went so far over my WW point count today that it's pathetic. 5 slices of pizza at lunch, big dinner. *sighs*

At least you didn't have any sweets Astro. Somebody has to do the 100 days when I am here. Looks like it is tougher than it looks. Still in and have a good one everyone.

AARRRGH!! Yes Fub, it sure IS tough!! Everytime I turn around, there it seems to be. I did have some icecream made with nutrisweet last night, it was disgusting so I had a taste of the real stuff. Today seems to be another hard day...I can't keep my os free time  but I can start over. It can't be today though!!!

Funny thing is that I weighed in low this morning, maybe because I was so active yesterday. Have a great weekend everyone, see y'all next week!

I think that I'm ready to try this again. I'm sure that I'm ready to feel better again. So far today I am Obvious Sweets Free. If I make it through today, this will be my Day 1, July 18th. Good Luck Everyone.

Made it another day, I feel great and I will do everything in my power to make it tomorrow too =) I keep thinking to myself "The more time passes by, the easier it gets". That really motivates me. Having daily cravings really tears me apart inside, but I CAN make it go away! One day at a time.

Sissel you seem to be doing good with this. I have made it through today, so I guess this is truly 1 day OS free for me. We'll see about tomorrow when it gets here.

Well, obviously you can do this for a long time! You were OS free for many days before, so of course you can do it again. Good luck! | |

Good to see you back Nina. That ice cream sounds really bad Cali although I have got used to coffee with sweetner and kinda even crave it now. I am going two weeks with green tea only so it is foremost in my mind. It is better than wanting a drink which never seems to come into my mid anymore but I am sure that the same will not happen with sweets. I am already thinking about what I may have after the 16 week program and I will cross that bridge when I come to it. I just had a thought of a licorice bridge leading to the gingerbread house from Hanzel and Grettle.

I skipped the 17th and 18th...so here is the 19th. Astro...you are showing what it takes. Folks, stay with continuing to put one day after the other. For me, my life has been more difficult to get OS sober than it was to maintain it. I can get my choloresteral count down it I get OS sober. I keep coming back and will try for another day today.

Jack, I'm so glad to see you. I did notice that you missed doing the list for a couple of days. I tried not to get too worried, but I was afraid that you were too discouraged and bowing out. I hope that you'll never do what I've done. You are the only constant one here since you started this thread. We all do need you here, no matter what. Thanks for just being YOU. (((((((((((Friend Hugs))))))))))))

Astro, how does it feel ? I'm sooo impressed ! What do you do now? Are you going to try 200 days or have a food fest? You've given me incentive to keep trying, thanks, I've only gone two weeks for the moment, but every time I did have sweets it was only for one day so all in all I'm still rather happy with myself too. Good work everyone, it sure feels good to be OS free ! By the way, my doctor loved my last blood test, low cholesterol, very very low triglycerids, and everything else perfectly normal, that makes me feel good too ! |

My day has been good again. When deceptive thoughts haunts me I'll keep reminding myself that I simply can't handle sweets etc. I take one day at a time and it feels good (I actually write down an X for each OS-free day). I also try not to going around so hungry. I treat myself with fruits and crispbread if I feel like I need it. Good lord, how tasty fruit is when your'e OS free! It's amazing! Still aiming for my 2 week goal, that I've heard is the toughest part. After that I'll be aiming forr 100 days! Stay strong all, and CONGRATULATIONS ASTRO! You really are an inspiration to me! |

Hey everyone good sharing and support. I love this thread and the wonderful people here that have given of themselves to support others to reach their goals and reach for a healthier life. It has also come time once again to start another continuing thread. So I am closing this one and staring a new one.
