ktgrok Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I only lose weight if I limit carbs. I don't cut out fruit or squash or anything but eliminate grains and limit potatos. Works great. Only issue is there is currently REALLY good birthday cake in my house. Cake that I made from scratch. Don't get me wrong, i ate a bunch of it this week already. I actually have eaten more than a person should, no matter what their weight. So I have no reason to feel sorry for myself. But it's 11:30pm, the baby is finally asleep, the house is quiet, my dh is out of town on business, and MAN would a slice of cake be decadent right now! But I'm being strong. I ate steak for dinner so I'm not hungry. Just greedy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawana Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 :grouphug::grouphug: Just remember how much harder it will be tomorrow if you indulge tonight. Every hour, every day without refined carbs makes the next that much easier. (After a certain point, of course.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks, that helps! I do allow myself a small piece of 85% cocoa chocolate each night, so I just had that as my indulgence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That *will* help. And I always have to physically remove the temptation from my sight if I'm to have any hope of avoiding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Amanda~ Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 sometimes magnesium supplements can help with the cravings, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: I'm in withdrawl too. I just started the Candida diet. Basically no carbs or even sweet or starchy veggies or beans for three weeks. Aaaaaaack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetstitches Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Maybe it will help if you take a small piece and put it in the freezer. That way you won't have the feeling that you'll miss out if you don't eat it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
