this is the hardest chapter for me. I stopped being faithful with the program and it started with this week.. about 2 months ago. SO I decided that I am going to get back at it and start with this one.
I am hypoglycemic... and have been dealing with my diet for about 3 years. I bought an exercise machine this weekend and am determined to make the lifestyle change that I need to.
My problem: COFFEE AND CHOCOLATE AND BREAD!!!!
I love those things and they kill me... send my sugar levels over the top which in turn shoot anxiety thru my veins.
need to really get control!
SO who's with me this week. I need the support...
talk to you soon
bon

Good for you bon bon!!!! Oh its so hard to stay away from those delicious little treats. I have a hard time getting my rear in gear in regards to exercise. I do get out more since its summer and I LOOOOOOVE the summer. Ok, I'm with ya. I will shun those sweets and get my muscles moving. Talk to ya soon!

ANy one else??????????????????

Howdy Bonbon & Reener Beener,

well, I can try...lol I've cut back quite a bit on the coffee and sugar but i could definately stay away from the candy bars just a leeettle bit more. So i'm all for giving it a go. How about if we eat any sweets during the day, we post it up here? That way , if we start to get anxious, we can look back and say "ooooh yea, i forgot about thaaat" . Take care!

Ok here goes , hi guys its 7:48 pm on tuesday, im eating ben and jerrys ice cream , i know i shouldnt be eating it, but its 97 degrees and i am hot!

I think this might turn into a confession thread. I had a few of my daughters most delicious magic bars. Shall I describe them? She won a blue ribbon at the county fair for them. Gooey coconut, walnuts, chocolate chips on top of a graham cracker crust. Couldnt resist. Oh and I had potato chips at the lake too. But I did have plenty of water. Thats what I drink most all the time. I'm going down stairs to the freezer to find something healthy for dinner. See ya.

Ps. Yes, Doilie, those candy bars are a real party pooper. So what is your favorite? I like Reeses peanut butter cups.

Reena,

LOL funny you should ask what my fav. candy bar is. I was just coming on to confess my snack attack which just happened to be Twix candy bar! I love Twix and Zeros but ya never see Zeros around any more *sigh*.lol I guess its for the best, i would never stop eating those. They have chocolate nougat on the inside with almonds and white chocolate on the outside...Maaaan i miss those things!..lol ok, i gotta stop before i eat more candy! Take care!

You all are supposed to be helping me... not making me wish I could hop in my car and shoot off to Starbucks for a Latte and a messy slab of the chocolatiest thing around...
wouldn't you know I have to be a snob about those two things... nothing but really great coffee... strong coffee, and dark gooey euro chocolate.... DAD GUM!!!!
I exercised one time since I posted...
ok I can do this!!! We all can do this...
I had 2 cups of coffee today... that's really great for me. no chocolate... but a protien bar that had some choco-chips in it. guess that's ok.
tomorrow... I'll do better... and drink more water.
bla bla bla...
thanks for listening and responding.

bonbon! decaffeinated coffee! use you imagination and pretend it has caffeine, works for me. Also, did you look into diabetic candies? my mom is a diabetic and she thinks they are delish!! Also, this goes to anyone, want some good exercise and be relaxed at the same time? Yoga Mind and Body with Ali MacGraw. It's amazing how u feel after doing this video. best of luck, and believe me bonbon, i know what u mean about the coffee, i have two babies at home and geez, would i kill for a double espresso!
