Bad day = sweet cravings ... don't give in!!!
Oh man, I have had such a bad day. I want to go buy a bag of Goodies and dive right in. I've been having a hard time with depression lately and some situations in my life make me feel helpless. How crazy is it to be able to slip right back into old habits. I have such a sweet craving right now, it is almost unbearable. I know it would give me a momentary sense of relief, but I can't do it to myself again. This is one slippery slope I don't care to mess with. I leave work in 15 minutes so I will head home and try to distract myself.
I just needed to put this out there in order to feel accountable in a way. Thanks for listening.

Hi Debbie
I am new to this board. I know how bad it is with depression. I suffered from it for many years. I wish I was there to give you a hug. I would like to share something I read on someone's signature here today. It resonated with me so I wrote it down. I plan on this being my new mantra should I be luck enough to get the opportunity to have WLS. Maybe it will help you:
Don't trade what you want most, for what you want at this moment!!
So we have two choices, have a quick release of the craving, choosing this “costs me the opportunity” of doing the other thing I want to do so much (losing weight and getting healthy).
Hugs to you

Protein bar ? That often will take care of my sweet cravings. I will have 1/2 of the Premier Protein bar from Costco (no sugar alcohols)
I'm sorry you are having a bad day :( I hope that you are on your way home, windows down, music cranked and you are singing as loud as you can getting your stress and sad OUT. (ok sometimes that works for me)
Big Hugs !

Thank you. I think I have a bar in my purse.
I take the bus home from work and it's funny how people look at me funny when I sing at the top of my lungs. What's their problem? lol
Hug received.

Debbie,
I have found a new love for cottage cheese ( could never get past the mushy consistency.
I add a drop or two of MIO ( favorite is mango) and almost puree it in mini chopper/blender. I then put it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
I love love this.
Good Luck,
If you need to vent/rant while on the bus send me a text ( I gave you my cell number earlier).

Good post! Hope you get home without incidence! I walked through Bulk Barn today and used my usual aisle which is full of chocolate crap... stopped in front of a couple of bins and had a quiet moment... then moved on and picked up some psyllium and coffee beans and made a quick escape. But I came close! Good luck!
