wahoo! broke my 240 plateau!

235lbs and counting!

Got august 14 set as W-Day 191 days left! only .183 lbs a day lol

just had to vent... i have completely cut out the workday munchies (candy bars, donuts, all that bad for you snackey stuff) and man, today its killing me!!

I need to run to the store and get some carrots or something, bleh....

the bad part... i dont think i'm actually hungry... i think its more... just wanting some sweets

gotta love dietary changes

Have you tried dried fruit? You shouldn't overdue it as the calories are still there, but one or two slices of dried mango or something should nix the sugar craving. Carrots or celery would be better, but sometimes the sugar beast roars too loudly to ignore.

ATB,

i only like plain dried fruit... and all the stuff i can get around here is like caked with sugar... it actually hurts my teeth there is so much sugar on 'em... i might start hunting for some... i know around fall, i can find plain dried apricots around here.... hmm, maybe the baking section has some :puzzled: i like those craisins... but they have a ton of sugar too

my sugar beast is usually pretty mellow... but man, today it is just all over me

Sugar cravings: Long chain complex carbs (like some in workout supplements)...the whole apple followed by a glass of water diet...and something really insane, the Indian herb Gymnema Sylvestris. I tried a demo-table sample under my tongue years ago. I swear, I couldn't even taste sweets for hours afterwards - no cravings. They also said it helps eliminate smoking urges too.

Just Fruit. My mother is a big fan of that one. Nothing but dried fruit.

now i really want some fruit lol... but sadly still at work... maybe i'll swing by our local organic/hippie food shop at lunch and see if they've got something like that

WOW $40.00 a pound. I baught a dehydrator for $6.00 at Good will, and fresh fruit at the store. In 24hrs I have a great snack.
