Stop SUGAR Support Thread

(((((barbe)))))

It's my understanding that a small amount of dark chocolate is beneficial for your health. 

Yes it does, but so does every lamp, appliance, tv, computer, fridge, microwave in our homes, and actually if you want you can get under the bed a pull the plug once you put your sleep number into the chamber, but I'm not about to do that...............Ever use a heating pad, what is worse then that..........Electricity is everywhere, but at least if its true what they say about springs in mattresses (and I doubt it is) at least I'm on air and foam.........

I agree with Lilah.  I only posted about the mattresses to make you laugh - not worry. 

Hey Lilah, you got us all going...........I ws thinking, "hey that belongs on the "stupid things people say to you thread", but I use to believe that it took 7 years to digest your bubble gum if you swallowed it...............(thanks to my mother)...................So relax ladies, enjoy your sleep even if your not on the floor on a Futon........................haha

@molly: hilarious! i am so gullible sometimes.

yesterday was awful: i ate waaaay 2  many dark chocolate hershey's kisses. even as i sat there, knowing it was bad for me and recognizing that addictive "turn on" - seriously, when i compare it to heroin, it's funny but also true!

anyway, back on the wagon today. and thank goodness Easter is at my sister in law's: she always skimps on dessert and carbs...and i'm hoping to avoid Easter baskets for my kids, since they don't believe in the Easter bunny anymore (13 and 10).

hope you all have a good day!

Come on ladies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,admit it,,,,,,,,,,,I'm not the only loony toon, who was thinking..................Do they really think your mattress springs can be a cause of cancer...............admit it, come on...............hahahahha

No more sporting events for me.................damn if I'm gonna sit on those metal bleachers.................

No, but if you swallow your bubble gum it will take "7" years for you to pass it out............

Ducky,

7 years?

I think you got that wrong!   I was told it lasted a LIFETIME by the people in my family!!!  lol

As a matter of fact, my aunt is in her 70's and had her first colonoscopy last month...she actually asked the Dr if he saw all that bubble gum she swallowed as a kid....um, she was SERIOUS! 

She also believes we never landed on the moon.  So there ya go.

Dr Oz was talking about sugar again today.  It seems to be a recurring topic lately.

I hear that is the only way........Its like liquor to an AA person..........They say that about salt too, which is my weakness...............Damn do we have to give up everything in life...........this really stinks......................Oh hell enjoy your cake........................hugs

xmasdx, I am allowing myself one cheat day a week.  During the week both my husband and I are avoiding sugars but on Saturdays we are allowing ourselves to have whatever we want.  The first week we did this, we both binged like crazy on Sat and we were both sick. the following Sat we decided in advance what we would have and stuck to it, no additional sugars other than what was planned.  That seems to be working well, everything in moderation and it makes things alittle easier for me, knowing that on Sat I can have whatever I want without guilt.  Now if my daughters would stop asking to bake cookies during the week I wouldn't be as tempted, sometimes I have no self control! 

Been buying snacks for the kids that I don't like, this way its not hard for me to say no when they feel like sharing. 

Twinmom,

Thats actually a really good idea.  Bill Phillips does that in his book "Body For Life" which I LOVE!!  It was the first book I used to start lifting weights and the diet part of it made so much sense and was so easy to follow!! 

It allows one cheat day a week.  Anything you want.  All day.  At first I looked forward to that free day with all my heart....I ate donuts for breakfast, sausage...you name it....by the 4 th week, the 4th free day....I was over it...sometimes I'd FORGET my free day...lol
