Didn't drink all my water yesterday and am up again slightly today. How long after you transgress does it take for the full effects to show up? I though t it would be immediately the next morning. Maybe it's another day later when fully metabolized so my two-nights-ago splurge may be just hitting the scale. Anyone know?
When my DS (17 yo, 6'2" and skinny) announced yesterday he was hungry after school, I said "There's plenty of food in the house". He replied, "That's all that organic stuff you eat, I'm going out for a McFlurry". He must have forgotten about the Lucky Charms and Doritos he himself bought the other day.
AARRGGHH! You want your kids to lead healthy lives their whole lives, and you try to start them out right with eating good food. Then peers and the media destroy their love of broccoli in favor of fast food, gummy worms and Lucky Charms. I am amazed at his sugar intake vs. his weight. The high HGH levels of youth must be his secret. And why should I expect him to get smarter about food any sooner than I have? I just hope he doesn't wait until his 50's to do it.
I have to say, I find I am getting desensitized to sugary stuff. Commercials for sweets, or DS even talking about a McFlurry used to make me "taste" them (very vivid imagination) and begin salivating. I even worked the concession stand at school last night and the Otis Spunkmeyers barely interested me. After a couple weeks of serious restriction, could it be I'm starting to break the sugar cycle? Wouldn't that be a godsend?? I would still enjoy them, but I'm not in the deep craving mode all the time!

sleep walking
I tested myslef by putting tape on the edge of the bedroom door in odd places, so i find out this morning I didnt sleep walk, but my stomach was not full like last time. Im going to keep traping to see if i sleep walk tonight too.
That's great that you are breaking the sugar cycle. I think it's an addiction like any other one. You have to get it out of system and then out of your mind. Good for you!
Sometimes it's so hard to drink that water. I can relate! But you are doing a great job, so keep it up!
with the comment about FiberSure! You're doing great... life throws curve balls (and cosmopolitans). Nine pounds in a week? I'm green with envy. Funny what you said about DS17. I was just thinking today that I've got to clean up the kids food... I but all manner of treats for them. With DS18 going to college and just the girls left, it's time to get rid of all the chips/cookies/crackers... may just ONE half gallon of ice cream a week as a treat and start shifting to healthier snacks for them too. DD15 will take a McFlurry any chance she can get...(oreo). How's that suit looking? Better I bet. Awed and inspired by your success : )
I had to laugh at the comments about your ds and food. Mine (14) is the same. Keep up the good work, the scale is going in the right direction. If you figure it out (the sugar craving thing) let me know. (( See my blog note today "Does it get better?" ))
