Today starts no sugar

This feels harder than no candy and no chips. And it started by throwing the oreos in the GARBAGE. And not the trash at my house - no, these went into the trash at the bus stop. Bye bye.
(I'm imagining some homeless dude chowing down on his amazing find...)
Now I need to grocery shop and fill my house with fruits and veggies!

TTFN,
LauraLynne

Tossing Oreos, bold move. Smart, and bold.

Have a good weekend!

They weren't the cute orange ones for Halloween were they. Or worse, the double stuffd. OMG, I need an Oreo so badly. I actually like the cookie part, without the cream. I am so sick... Please, send me a cookie..And by the way, great idea..

Oh Allan - if we ever fall off the wagon together we're goign to have to meet for a package of oreos...only double stuff...I'll eat only the creme and you can have the cookie. (there were wafer only cookies left in the pack I threw away - I eat the creme first out of several cookies and then...oh hell, that sounds to damn awful, doesn't it!?)

You put them back. In the bag, all naked and with no creme. OMG. Who eats the wafers, hours or days, after you have licked them clean ? Wow, I could go on ....

Usually I eat 2 or 3 creme fillings, then, out of pure guilt (probably left over from being picked last in gym) I'll eat those 2 or 3 empty oreos. Then repeat. At the time of the cookie toss, I had probably 2 or 3 empty oreos in there. And if we share, I promise not to lick - there will be sanitary measures used :P

Why ANYONE would tamper with God's perfect creation the OREO, I have no idea. You can both stay away from my Oreo! I eat them whole with ice cold milk. OMG!!! Thanks a lot you two!!! Damn! Now all I can think about is OREOs. Crap.

Hey- ever tried the white chocolate dipped ones. So good I could cry.

(apology in advance - or is it too late - for all this oreo talk!)

I've had the fudge dipped ones. But even better than that are what I call "oreo balls" - also known as "oreo Truffles" (for the more polite I suppose...)

receipe

one pack oreos
one package cream cheese

mix all together in mixer (not blender - eww..). then use cookie scoop to make "balls" of the mixture - refigerate and then dip balls in almond bark or melted chocolate.

My entire family would commit crimes for these treats.

You can do it! I love that you picked a distant trash can, no turning back.

I'm thankful that Oreos don't do anything for me. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - now don't get me started on those - that' my Oreo.

Good luck!

I think I'm going to join you on this journey. My neighbor and I were sitting around a bonfire last night, and when my roommate brought out the cookies, he mentioned he hasn't had sugar since some time in 2008. I was in awe...and inspired. He coaxed me, saying if he could do it...anyone can. Then today- after a plate of cookies last night- my scale ballooned my weight and after the tantrum I threw...I decided that maybe I should reconsider this non sugar lifestyle once again...

So good luck to you on your journey- and good luck to me. I'm with you girl!!!

Time to come clean - and start blogging again with NEWS!

I've been avoiding the blogging world - for a couple reasons.  My eating has been horrible.  Well, maybe not horrible but definately not brag-worthy or blog-worthy.  I've been embarassed at how much I've regressed back into old eating habits. The other reason is I've been keeping a secret but it's time to come clean.  I've been gaining weight - only a little - and with my doctor's full permission.  As of today, I'm 16weeks 4 days pregnant, and this one's here to stay!  I'm excited.  And nervous. And sick as a dog with morning sickness.  I've used all of the above as an excuse to jump off the wagon (and load it with junk food to drag around with me all day).  I've had chips and candy and sugar - and not in small quantities.  I now weight 205.  Up from 190.  But holding steady and fully aware of the changes I need to make - again. Mostly my problem is that I have morning sickness 24 hours a day.  It's like really bad motion sickness

Onederland - the details!

Ok - so first a confession:  I'm still weighing every day.  I just can't stop!!  end. of. story.  So instead I'm going to learn to not let the number affect me as much.  *shrug* trying something new, that's what this is all about right? So - this week I've been sitting firmly at 200.0 - day and in and day out.  So close!! Friday morning, I got on the scale and WOOT WOOT:  199.0  I was pretty excited - it finally looks like I've lost weight.  I mean - duh - I've lost weight.  But that 1 in front, that really hit home with me.  It validated my efforts.  I know I know - I shouldn't be so tied to a number.  Call the direct line to my brain and tell *IT* that for me, please.  Unfortunately that number's unlisted - even to me.  I am going to try something new.  I will be doing self affirmations every day.  I will find 5 nice things to say about the person staring me back in the mirror.  I will do it out loud.  And I will be sincere. I want to b
