Any Junk Food Junkies care go join me?

I made it!!! ONE WHOLE DAY with NO JUNK whatsoever!!!! YAY ME!!!

Funny thing too, eating solid foods really DOES keep me fuller longer! Go figure! (being a little sarcastic there) I'm thinking that one more fill may just do the trick!

Today will be a little tougher, as it's my 39th Birthday, and my daughter made a cake, and my sweet hubby invited friends over for cake, even though HE'S on his liquid pre-op diet (his surgery is Monday). I don't know how I'm going to pass up on the cake, but I need to psych myself up for this today and be prepared for the attack tonight!!! Wish me luck!

boo boo kitty - I so wish I could be happy with one nutrition bar that tasted like candy. One day I hope to get there...right now, if I had one, it would turn to two, then three...I dunno tho, maybe the nutrition bar would stay in my pouch longer...Anyway...Happy Band Birthday to you!!!! 120 pounds in a year!!!! You are an inspiration!!!!!

Congratulations to you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY as well! Today it is ok to have a bite of cake! Good luck.

I cut them into small pieces, usually I get 3 servings in 1 bar. It works better that way, I find them very filling and a good fix for the sweet tooth. If we totally deny we will end up in trouble!

Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

I agree, BooBoo -- if I keep telling myself no, then eventually I will give in with a vengeance. I've found that a small serving of frozen yogurt helps to satisfy my sweet tooth. It isn't nearly as calorie-filed as ice cream and it has Protein in it, so it's not ALL bad -- I just have to be careful to not over-justify everything that is bad.

I am a sweetaholic without a dought. If it is cake, Cookies, candy, or pop it is going to drive me crazy. Boo Boo where do you find the triple threat? It would be a perfect replacement for the Snacks. I did find that if I am with someone and I wanted a sweet snack I would split it with them. Half a candy bar or dessert is better than the whole thing by far.

For your sweet tooth, I would highly recommend this if you can find it. We get them at Wal-mart. You cut 6 bananas in half, insert the stick, then freeze the bananas for one hour. Warm the bag of chocolate up in hot Water, pour in to a shallow bowl and dip the bananas.

Nutritional facts: 60 cal, 5g fat, 4g carbs (in the chocolate)

They also come in strawberry and Peanut Butter.

Good, it's not just me. I want to blame it on PMS. It's just that the PMS seems to be for a full three and a half weeks before my period.

LOL!!!! Me too!!! hehehe

Well, Day two was without any junk food! I am replacing my sweets with fruit and it's working nicely. It was a little difficult not having my birthday cake, but I never let on to anyone that I secretly wanted some.

I know that "everything in moderation" is my goal and that hopefully after a while, I'll be able to reincorporate a little 'treat' once in a while, but right now, for me, just learning to work with the band is hard enough without adding the 'easy to go down' foods. I think it's been a little easier for me because DH is on his liquid pre-op this week and will have to be on liquid, then mushies for the rest of the month.

It IS working, the scale is moving again...I've lost all the weight I gained over vacation! YAY

MM Well done! There are not many people who can resist their own birthday cake. You can have a piece next year. Victory is yours!

I'm actually not on this no junk sojourn yet. I think I will do it and see how it goes. It's got to be easier than any pre/post-op diet.

Thanks insub

Well, Day three was NOT a victory...I did have a little junk food. Weird thing is, I'd usually be beating myself up over it and go hog wild and just pig out! But I didn't pig out...I just dealt with it. So, that is a victory in itself!

Today - onward and upward!

OMG Peanut butter???? I love the chocolate but never seen pb....I want some! I love them with nuts.

Hmmm, so I've failed this no sweets thing. Anyone else still hanging in there?

[Oregondaisy 2,019]

What department in Walmart do you find those frozen banana things? I have never seen anything like that in Walmart.

[musicalmomma 1]

Suzzzie...I didn't make it either...but I'm doing MUCH better than I was last month.

look in the produce department - with the bananas.

I have a hard time eating a LOT of foods.....they cause sliming and PB'ing, so I have found a lunch that I love and that I am eating on a near-week-day-basis: Wendy's small Chili and <gasp> vanilla Frosty Float made with Diet Coke. It's only a $3.00 lunch and very satisfying. I LOVE it. I think it's half junk, because I shouldn't be eating/drinking the float, but I can't stop myself!!!! If I would only exercise, I could justify it.....

OK, at least it's off my chest and I've admitted it "to the world". Thanks, Gang...I feel much better.

Now for my Act of Contrition!!!:confused:
