Welcome to OS Phal. We are a tame bunch over here. Rarely hyper due to extreme sugar rushes. I am cool running and OS free again this fine sunny day.

Good to see you over here Phal! I ate poorly last night, was doing well with the sushi dinner but snacked too much when we got home. Back on track today but I can think about is food. Seems like I'm perpetually hungry and that's not a good thing.

Forgot to check in .. so I'm doing so. Still exercising and avoiding all obvious sweets. I had waffles with fresh fruit in custard for breakfast yesterday and I feel like I cheated - but I know I didn't - it was just so dang GOOD! Welcome to the thread Phaleron! Astro - I can't stop thinking about food either. *sigh* Roxie - good luck with the dental surgery. Pony - I'm a middle-of-the-night eater too. Last night it was melba toast - only because that's all I had in the house! |

Jack can you start me again from today,Tuesday working on 1. Been away for a few days and ran a half marathon on Sunday. I was in a very relaxed state on Monday and kind of talked myself into saying I deserved a treat. Well that days over so it is time to get back to eating healthier. Have to get ready for work in a few minutes so will catch up with everyones posts later on(if the kids let me near the computer), best wishes everyone.

The other day when I had all those sweets after 26 or 27 days without, I felt really wierd the next day, I couldn't think straight, was overanxious, kind of out of whack. It could have just been fatigue, but I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced a sort of hangover from sweets after being off them for a while?

I had another weird binge last night. Bought some natural peanut butter (made from peanuts, nothing else) and mixed it with my fat-free vanilla yogurt. It tasted so good I had an extra helping along with a few glasses of milk. It ain't the end of the world, but I guess the PB is sort of a trigger.

Checking in and doing fine. There are no Obvious Sweets in arm's reach so I would have to go out for them. The convenience store is right next to the bar in the basement so it is an easy area of the building to avoid. Maybe you need a new thread Astro. 100 day challenge---- Abstinence from PB.

I hear you Astro and I have had such realizations myself about certain foods--actually it's really easy for me to abuse anything especially when I am "ultra abstinent" as I am now lol I know peanut butter for be is a big no no..my "taste" is a heaping tablespoon full

I didn't think I'd have a problem with the natural stuff, it's pretty oily and looks kinda yucky, but it sure tasted yummy mixed with the yogurt. Yep, my "taste" was about a cup full.

I love natural peanut butter too, Astro. If you keep it in the fridge, it won't be so oily. I usually have it as my morning snack on Ryvita snackbread. I'm doing well staying off the sweets - but I'm eating too many carbs for my liking. Ah well - something to consider. Been exercising regularly again - doing kettlebell workout which is new to me and fun. Starting at 3 times a week although in true addict fashion I want to do it every day! I hope everyone is well. Thanks for helping me to stay OS-free for just another day. |

I know the sugar hangover feeling - I have it today!  Please re-set me to 1. I made it quite long though about 8 days and it felt good. Had to experiment with some very sugary almond and strawberry cereal - finishing the whole pack and then passing out made me think this has to count as a slip! I'm grateful for the days I had and I'm getting back on track. Left my purse at home so now that i'm back at work after dental surgery I don't slip into habit of buying chocolate on way home. Thank God I've had some time off to break THAT cycle! Forward we go -thanks for the great thread!!!Cathy31 x
