I've been on Optifast for 2 1/2 weeks now - with no cheating. That doesn't mean I haven't thought about it, but darn it I know what I'm working towards and I can do it!

I have, however, had wicked cravings and tonight was REALLY, REALLY hungry and just wasn't paying attention until my husband brought it up. It went something like this:

Husband: "Dear, what are you staring at?"

Me: "Huh?"

Husband: "Dear, stop staring."

Me: "What?"

Clinton (our 17 yr old): "Stop it, mom"

Me: "What?"

Husband: "You're staring at his dinner and it's not helping."

Me (looking up): "Who says it's not helping?"

Husband: "Go have a popsicle"

Me: " I don't want a frigging popsicle! I want a cheeseburger!" (they were eating tacos, so it wasn't really relevant)

Husband : "Then go have a cold shower." (it's stinking hot and humid here right now, which makes me headachey and cranky)

Me: "I don't want a cold shower"

Husband: "Well if you don't pick something soon I'm going to get a popsicle for you and stick it somewhere ELSE for you"

<sigh>

I didn't say I wasn't a challenge for them while on Optifast. The aspartame gives me a perpetual headache and the weather has been obnoxious for the past week. At least I have less than a week to go until surgery and at least we all got a laugh out of this tonight.

I can soooo relate. I am nearing the end of 2 weeks of optifast and for 2 days all I could think of was Arby's! I have not cheated either but had quite a pity party. My poor husband has been eating on the deck in 90 degree weather. I got all upset bc he grilled out the other day and did not put the leftover hotdogs away immediately. Lol. Oh well we are almost there!

RRRMMMAAAOOO... I'm up here reading this and lol waking up my honey.
