It makes a difference to have a place to come to where others are going through this with me. We are all here to support each other. I wish others wouldn't be afraid to jump in on the comments! We are all here for each other!<br />I know I could always turn to my family for support, but I'm not going to check in with them everyday. They are all training right now for a half marathon, so they have their own daily goals. Plus, I am hoping to surprise them with a huge, or even a noticeable weight loss!<br />And Laura, I will always be honest here too. I haven't given in to any temptations,yet. I will confess if I do :)Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582281602723269121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642128385120242544.post-49798196421559557092011-01-04T18:47:48.033-08:002011-01-04T18:47:48.033-08:00So let me ask you guys this?

It's great you have not given in (I think) but am just curious what you think the difference is this time and the times before?LL Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942520613369363730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642128385120242544.post-84219878664730279422011-01-04T18:42:21.915-08:002011-01-04T18:42:21.915-08:00I had the same urge for a candy cane today too.

I had bought enough of the VERY large candy canes to put in everyones Christmas stockings and today I found them in my room.Ooops!<br />My throat has been hurting some today and all I could think about was how soothing that peppermint would be on my throat. But I didn't give in! Instead, I called and made a Dr. appointment for tomorrow. :)Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582281602723269121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642128385120242544.post-1359340146625501702011-01-04T15:58:45.402-08:002011-01-04T15:58:45.402-08:00@ Kathy.....Good for you for not giving in!!

I was cleaning up and there were some candy canes on the table left from Christmas. I picked them up to put them away and then really had an urge to eat one. I didn't give in.Kathlyn Osmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818762040613390255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642128385120242544.post-46963286814984939132011-01-03T21:08:57.941-08:002011-01-03T21:08:57.941-08:00Wow!

We lived right across the street from the community grocery store and my dad would let us go get a pop every once in a while. I rarely could drink the whole bottle. As a kid I drank milk with every meal. I never aquired a taste for tea or coffee, which I realize now, is a good thing!<br /><br />I don't even know when my soda habit came about. It just started to be the thing I would reach for with my meal. The city water in Waco, where we do most of our dining out, tastes HORRIBLE! Drinking a soda would mask the tast somewhat.<br /><br />I recently read about an increase of Osteoporosis in children. It has been linked to kids drinking carbonated drinks at such an early age. It removes calcium from their (our) bones. If a can of Coke will remove corrosion from battery posts, you can imagine what it is doing to our body! And we are ingesting this??!!<br /><br />I have a refrigerator in my garage that I keep stocked with drinks, bottled water, sodas (not any more)juice, Capri Suns....etc. As I was stocking up for guests this Christmas, I noticed in the juice isle that Juicy Juice now makes carbonated apple and berry juice! They are sneaking it in everywhere!<br /><br />Day three wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I was craving cookies at the kiddos snack time, but I held off.....there are none in the house that I will eat!! Yay ME! ;)Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582281602723269121noreply@blogger.com
