For me, sweets were taking over my life and I realized that I had to let them go completely at least for a while. I did start eating them again, but I generally don't have many cravings for them anymore. I had candy after my 21 days and it didn't taste good to me. I just crave different food now (for the most part =)). I didn't gain any weight back either. Giving up just candy (not all sweets) felt like the push I needed to get under 250 lb. which I stayed at since this past summer.I am still a self-proclaimed "sweet-aholic" so I get your pain. Let me know what you think of my blog though. Thanks Brandi, I'll read you later!!<br />VickyVickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662651660109020846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006649500326109834.post-16749976805678483682011-12-19T13:40:44.798-08:002011-12-19T13:40:44.798-08:00Hi Vicky, I have thought about giving up sweets a ...Hi Vicky, I have thought about giving up sweets a lot. On one hand I know it's one of the main reason's I've gained wait, but i'm not willing to cut it out completely forever so I'm worried about losing weight only to gain it back when I reintroduce it in limited quantities. I think that's what I love about weight watchers and don't love about it, you can supposedly eat whatever if you have the points for it. But I will check out your blog and definitely it's worth thinking about a little more!Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700381836723709672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006649500326109834.post-85673760637367401042011-12-19T06:43:42.996-08:002011-12-19T06:43:42.996-08:00Brandi, I love how honest you are about yourself. ...Brandi, I love how honest you are about yourself. It is the first step to making a positive change. We have all been there, so there is no shame. I'm not sure if yiu've read my blog 21daystochangeme.blogspot.com.. But I did a little experiment that truly changed my life. Take a look at it. I am starting a new challenge on January 1st or maybe even sooner on Dec.26th. , where I give up all sweets for 21 days. You should do it with me! I have a friend who took the challenge starting Dec. 2nd and she's already lost 7 pounds! I'm going to start blogging daily the day I start. During my first challenge , I gave up candy, walked everyday, and gave up fast food! If you want I'll email you my before and after. I lost about 5 pounds but gained so much more. Do you want to try the " no sweets challenge?" with me?Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662651660109020846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006649500326109834.post-64437755438879904672011-12-13T12:46:31.127-08:002011-12-13T12:46:31.127-08:00Thanks Samantha!

I'm not sure why this time it's been so hard for me (besides that now I have kids but I can't use that as an excuse!). It's amazing how long it takes to reverse a weight gain huh?Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700381836723709672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006649500326109834.post-10046843530117889652011-12-13T11:40:03.316-08:002011-12-13T11:40:03.316-08:00you can do it!

So here we are 3.5wks later and I've lost 4.5 of that 6 but it's been a great wakeup call that one week of bad decisions can take a month to make up for it!!! Not sure if you've seen it but skinnytaste.com is a FANTASTIC website with tons of YUMMY recipes that have the points already listed so you don't have to calculate it!!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212527264716019421noreply@blogger.com
