Actually, I am past the point of thinking about torturing myself. I am doing it as we speak. My little sister and I have decided to not eat desserts for the next couple months. (Well...I am giving myself a one-night-a-month break and allowing myself to eat dessert at cooking club. I just can't pass up my friends' gourmet cooking.)
I bought a huge case of Costco strawberries to appease my sweet tooth and so far it has worked. For dessert tonight, J is going to have strawberries with ice cream. I am going to eat them with milk and try not to be too envious of my husband's bowl of creamy yumminess.
try crystal light fruit punch to satisfy your sweet tooth. it's soooo sweet and yummy, it might help!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Natalie!! I need all the help I can get.
ReplyDeleteCan you dip the strawberries in sour cream and then sprinkle brown sugar on them or does that count as dessert?
ReplyDeleteahh, good luck w/ this no sweets thing! my sister did it for 6 months and lost weight. (she was a size 2 to begin with)! she was just doing it to see if she could and somehow managed to lose weight, lol! good luck w/ this! strawberries are like candy themselves!
ReplyDeleteAh yes I drink that Crystal Light too - it is a goodie.
ReplyDeleteyeah go us! I just bought sweet mint orbit gum - it is sweet and keeps my mouth occupied so no sweets go in.
ReplyDeleteJenny...that sounds like dessert to me. (But it sounds fabulous!)
ReplyDeletestrawberries and milk without the cake ain't so bad!
ReplyDeleteyep, i see all the people you roll with.....let's be friends!
ReplyDeletei'm glad you left a comment. my comment for you is WHY ARE YOU NOT EATING SUGAR????? it's not worth it, EVER!!!! i am a junk food junkie, so you will get no support from mindi in this department. you will, however, get support in your spider phobia i just read about. terrified of them. YUCK.
Well, Mindi, I have this little thing on me called BABY FAT. I thought the no sugar rule might jump start the loss of it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's two things I'd like to join...Cooking Club and not eating sweets!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with both!
You are a brave brave girl!!! I hear that after the first week you don't even want them anymore, it's just getting through that first week...
ReplyDeletei am doing this too. it has actually been ok so far. i am just so sick of the baby weight, and just started running again, so i am getting down to business. i just try to think about it as one day at a time, and haven't set a date to start eating them again, so technically, i could eat sweets tomorrow... but i won't!
ReplyDeletei get that fat free sugar free chocolate pudding and jello, fruit is good, crystal light it good, and even a diet pepsi here and there is good.
good luck!
