Thanks, Girlfriend. I'm just about ready to give in and take the Donnatal after all. I have GOT to be "up" and "okay" tomorrow for a real important meeting; I can't afford the luxury of reclining all day with a heating pad on my tummy (like yesterday and today).
Cutting out sugar? Good for you! It's all empty calories (as Heather told me). No, I don't crave it anymore. It was tough at first, what with all that talk about the ADBs and RKTs. When hubby put them all down the garbage disposal, it hurt.
There are several tricks. First of all, empty your pantry of all sweets, then tackle the freezer, and yes, that includes Mocha Fudge! (Groan.) It's not easy to do, believe me, but that's part of the deal.
Second, don't go into the recipe board! It's tempting, and I gave in several times, but when I did, I suffered a little, because I really wanted to try some of those great recipes! You just have to be strong.
Third, add a little honey to your tea. It makes it extra sweet, and really does curb the sugar cravings.
Also, when I was really having a hard time of it, I made myself some cocoa. It not only satisfied my craving for sweets, but also my craving for chocolate.
Last, but certainly not least, don't let yourself be in a situation where those around you will have sweets -- at least not during the times when you're having those cravings. It's only temporary; you can be around them another time, but when you're having trouble, don't make it harder on yourself.
YOU CAN DO IT! If I can, with my terrible sweet tooth, YOU CAN!
Thanks again for your kind words -- and be sure to let us know how you do.
Bev
