Sweets (Like Bev)       03/17/04 08:41 AM Edit Reply Quote jenX Reged: 08/11/03 Posts: 3252 Loc: Richmond, VA Well, I still have my Rice Crispie Treats! Let's get that out in the open right now! As for the rest of the sweets world, yeah, I pretty much avoid them. And I recently gave up bread ('cause of the blasted gluten). Between the two, I'm hoping that I will lose weight. I have about 10 - 15 pounds to go. All I know is this: if I allow myself sweets (and gluten) I am hungry or at least craving food ALL OF THE TIME! Now, I feel like I'm eating reasonably. I tend to be a rule-bender, so it's easiest for me to just ban sweets... at least 'til I get out of the habit of reaching for them. I really think that the gluten was responsible for a real, physical hunger but the sweets-- that's mostly in my head (and a result of the whole blood sugar rollercoaster. Energy dips --> reach for candy --> energy soars --> energy CRASHES! --> reach for candy....) I really really really advise anyone who wants to lose weight (and is IBS stable!) to try the Weight Watchers program. A lot of people like the meetings (I'm ambivilent) and like being accountable to someone for having lost/gained in a week. I like the Points- they're easy to count and SENSIBLE. You can eat what you want, so being on this diet or any other medical diet isn't a problem. You would be SHOCKED to learn what's adding to your weight once you total the Points. (I just figured out that my beloved morning smoothie is, like, 10 or so Points. Yikes. My range is 20-25 for the day, and in 4 pounds will drop to 15-20! Oy, oy, oy!) By the way, I've been strict with the sweets and gluten for about 2 weeks (give or take) and today I WOKE UP SKINNY! Not literally, of course, but I can tell stuff is shifting around. Caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror while getting dressed and thought "Wow! You actually look kinda cute in your underpants!" This is the first time I've ever thought that. And then I slipped into my pants and they were justthismuch looser- with no extra bits hanging over the waistband! YIPEEE!!!! -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
