Hello all - I'm so glad to know we all struggle with similar things. Last night, I was truly white-knuckling it to keep from getting a bowl of sherbet. The refrigerator was calling and I wanted to answer. However, instead I had some sugar-free hot chocolate and read for awhile.
In the absense of sugar, carbohydrates take on a whole new aura of temptation, and I confess, I have answered the call more often than not. Maybe this is just part of the weaning process, but I know I won't lose any significant amount of weight unless I can get a grip on it.
I'd like some ideas for quick and easy vegetable consumption. Although I love salads in the summer, they just don't appeal to me when the weather gets cold. Noshing on celery sticks also gets old pretty fast . . .
Thanks to all of you for your posts and emails!

ReplyDeleteWay to go on avoiding the Sherbet! I agree on the salad thing, I love salads but when it's cold I want something warm!
I do love carrots, so I eat alot of those just as snacks but, I also like stir fry. I know that's probably not the healthiest, but I just use low sodium chicken broth or something rather than oil so the veggies don't stick to the pan.
