For those of you have fallen off the wagon and think I am the Rock of Beeble, let me tell you what I ate yesterday. I had a Frisch's Swiss Miss and fries for lunch and for dinner (yes I know), I had a Taco Bell taco salad and a caramel apple empenada and smores pop tarts for a snack. Im getting ready to start my cycle and have felt like crud for several days I believe some of this has stemmed from a deep seated longing for umpadoodles and my xylitol hasnt arrived and I cant make a thing! So yes I cheated. Back on the wagon today!!! :P
-
climb back on and strap yourself in ;D
-
Yes, get back on the wagon Beebs!! Go and get some SF Jello & Reddi Whip to fall back on. I have been eating shelled pumpkin seeds when I want to nibble. The unsalted kind I get are 2 net carbs per 1/2 cup. So 1/4 cup is enough to help me through that need. I also have unsalted sunflower seeds that are 2 net carbs per 1/3 cup. Again, half of that is enough to nibble on, especially if you eat them one at a time.
So get back at it, I'm sure you feel so much better when you eat properly!! I know you can do it!
-
Ohh I know I can do it. When it's that time for me it affects everything I have PMDD and cant be treated for it. I get nasty cravings and get moddy it's like being in detox every month. Funny thing is I was doing really well I can tell when it's coming on though. Stupid amazon not shipping my xylitol. :P

This was actually supposed to be encouragement lol. Even us old timers can slip up ya know!

You are so right, beebs!
We are ALL addicted to sugar.
Although we once thought it would provide "comfort" at times, we now know what it really will do to us.
We should all plan and prepare for moments of weakness.
Those moments will come!... Sometimes when we least expect them.
How prepared we are will make all the difference in how we respond.

It's funny but I seem to do better if I eat lunch at McDonalds. I know that sounds crazy but I end up being happier. Beebles are funny little creatures. :-*

No problem with McDonalds as long as you ask them to hold the bun, tortilla, ketchup, sweet relish, sauces, & desserts.
Remember the person Doug showcased last month that lost 85 lbs. eating only McDonalds foods, Andrew H. Mcminn?

If other Beebles are like you, they must be a lot of fun! ;)

Everyone messes up...at least your back on FTS and it was only for a day. Were the fries good? That is one thing I really miss. :-[

Hi Sherri! :)
It's wonderful that we can replace and closely replicate most high carb foods out there.
That's the main reason F2S is so easy to adopt as a lifestyle.
However, McDonald's fries have always been in a class by themselves.
These things WERE one of my all time favorite foods (to SuperSize).
At times, I used to really miss them too!
I have associated them with something yucky (that I won't disclose here) so if I happen to be near them and happen to smell them, I won't be at all tempted. Now, I no longer miss them in the least no matter how close they are to me!
If there is a high-carb food out there that you find hard to resist and there is no low-carb replacement that satisfies you, practice associating that food to something that causes you to lose your appetite... I mean REALLY meditate on it EVERY time you see, smell, or think about that item. After a short time, you will no longer feel any temptation AT ALL to eat it.
This mental "association" trick really does work!
The mind is a powerful thing. The body can only serve it's needs and desires.
Use your mind to help you be successful!
-
Make some Jicama fries Sherri, they are wonderful :)
-
It all tasted like crap. I wasnt happy at all.
-
@Doug I just can't find Jimcama in Orlando, I have tried everywhere.
@mouseissue I do that exact thing except I enjoy the smell. It no longer bothers me to be around people eating my favorites, all the sugar cravings are gone now. Yesterday I sat with my son as he ate a piece of pumpkin pie that smelled and looked wonderful. I made him describe to me what it tasted like but I wasn't dying for it by any means. It is SO NICE to be in control of myself. In 42 years I have never felt like this. I even forgot to eat one day last week and trust me that has NEVER happened before. ;)
-
That is what is amazing to me how the cravings or completly gone . I have went to 2 birthday parties both had cake, icecream,pizza I did not touch any and did not even want it . UNBELIEVABLE
-

i have cheated and cheated I feel rotten. My mom is having a serious physical problem and so on top of my job I have taken over all her work PLUS taking care of her. Im exhausted all the time and by the time Im finished cooking for everyone else I dont feel like cooking for me. No one else will eat my food and Im at a loss. I also got bad news from the kidney doctor yesterday. He said my sodium level is dangerously low. He all but pushed me down to the lab for more blood work. Im scared and I know I havent been eating right. Will someone come cook for me? :'(
-
So Sorry To Read This Beebs...Hang in there gurl...Life can make alot of things tuff and eating right can be one of them... :'(
-
Beebs, we love you and this hurts my heart to read, makes me want to give you a big hug, sit you down and cook for you, lets start with a big hug.
HUGZ
Now lets concentrate on your food. You need to get back to the basics of fresh foods. meat, poultry, fish and greens, eggs and cheeses etc... I've watched over the past couple of months and it seems you've really drifted away from the basics. I want you to go right back to those basics.
Lets start with today; Eggs and protein for breakfast, tuna wrap (in lettuce) for lunch and a chicken breast with cauli mashed tators and broccoli for dinner.
I also want you to go back to the FAT TO SKINNY book ingredient list and remind yourself of all the FTS suggested foods.
The truth is honey, only you can take care of you, prioritize! ;)
-
Beebs I know you know this ,but you are a type 1 diabetic! I wish I could come cook for you! But I can't so all I can tell you is I am here for you.I understand stress and that alone is horrible for you my dear friend,but you have to eat right! One of my best friends who is a type one just came by my house.She is losing her vision and her legs are going numb and she can't walk long because she won't eat right.The doctors say there is nothing they can do for her because she has abused her body for too long. She is the kind of person who will browse the dessert bar and then decide how many desserts she is gonna have and then adjust her insulin for what she is eating.And she is only in her late 50's! When she eats Fat to Skinny she doesn't have these issues but she won't eat right.
We are all here for you but you have to do the right thing for your health.I can't do it for you!(although I will harass you ! :D)
Its not so much about weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) for you its about good health.The weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) is just a by product of getting your sugars in line.
I am getting off the soapbox now! :)
-
Do I have to eat tuna? yuck! :P
-
No my friend but you do need protien! We luv ya beebs! ;)
-
Beebs I am sorry you are felling bad ,but I stress this to tyler everyday . Being a Type 1 is no fun I know but you have to stay with it I know the longer you have it you must just get tired . But you have to be stronger then IT . I worry & pray for my Tyler everyday that he does'nt just throw his hands up and say He doesnt care when he gets older . .
BY the way Doug & Umpa I want you to know that I have always had tight control on Tylers Diabetes but since finding FTS and him trying more low or no carbs foods his A1C was 6.1
Can I get a WOOT WOOT for Tyler !!!!!!
-
Beebs try the tuna patties they are better then just tuna !!!!
-
Beebs we are all saying a prayer for you to build up your strength and get yourself back on track. Just take it one meal at a time. Can you feel us holding you up?
Hoping today is a better day for you!
And yay for Tyler!!
-
How about hotdogs and pepperoni/ Cause that's been most of my diet as of late.
-
Beebs,
You must take care of you.
If you don't, who will?
After reading Doug's post, you know what you need to do.
Life can be tough sometimes, but please hang in there.
You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers.
Tony

Yes I love the pepperoni in the microwave with cheese or without the longer you keep them in the crispier they get . I like me some hotdogs too . But I do get tired of them if that is all I eat . Have you even tried the tuna patties ? I dont like tuna out of a can but I like them when I make the patties .
Thanks Tony for the woot ,we are proud of him !! Type 1 is a 24 hour a day battle !!!!! So sorry for Beebs & Tyler
-
I got sick on tuna once and havent cared for it since. Today Ive had 3 sausage links 1 hotdog, 3 strips of bacon 2 sausage patties 2 eggs and some sugar free candy. total 8 carbs. Doctor called I have to stop taking my lasik and Im only allowed to have three 8 oz. glasses of fluid a day until tuesday when I have to go get the bloodwork redone.
-
Beebs, I used canned chicken in place of the tuna for that recipe and it was really good.
-
Beebs, remember to include veggies and some fiber in your day. You want to make sure that everything that goes in, comes out.
-
Beebs do you normally drink alot of water or not ? Were you having problems with your kindneys ? Yes you do need some fiber !!!!!
-
I drink tons a water he said to stop. I had a salad and some blackberries with cream for dinner.
-
TYLER YOU GO BOY! Diabetes can be control ed in type 1 and cured with type 2.I see it every day!
-
I had a slice of Bologna for breakfast. I had to have some caffeine cause I was dyin lol. Stopped taking my water pill so we'll see how it goes. I may swell up like a balloon.
-
Maybe you wont fly away need to attach a weight to ur leg LOL Do you feel better Beebs ?
Thanks Umpa I jsut told him this morning when he got up ,Thanks to you and Doug information and Tylers hard work he is doing great !!!
-
Beebs???? You need to eat well rounded meals at normal times,like grownups do! :D
-
What's a normal time? I thought I we were supposed to eat only when hungry?
-
Yes beebs.If you pay attention you will see you are hungery at the same time everyday.If your not hngery don't eat. ;)
-
My days are so different I hardly can keep a schedule of any kind.
-
My days are so different I hardly can keep a schedule of any kind.
The anwser is simple even for a hectic life... Eat when you feel hungry and don't eat when you don't.
Prepare yourself with quick and easy low-carb snacks and make meals ahead of time so you're ready.
But always try to make time to eat a "balanced" meal or two every day that includes some veggies and fiber.
Taking a multi-vitamin and mineral each day will help too!
-
Well I go for my third set of bloodwork today. According to the Doctor's office my sodium is at the very lowest end of normal. So apparently the still arent happy with it. My mums worse than ever. After being bed fast for the last month well.....lets just say its not improving her humor. Im very tired. Mostly from the low sodium I guess. Merry Christmas to everyone. Here's hoping for a skinny holiday.
-
Beebs I'm saying a prayer for you and your Mom for everyone to feel better and get back on track. Merry Christmas to you also.
-
Beebs will be thinking and praying for both of you . Is your sugar going crazy ? Try to have a Merry Christmas !
-
Beebs, you and your Mum are in my thoughts and prayers. :(
-
You and your mom will be in my thoughts today.Let us know what happens. :)
-
I'm saying a special prayer today for you and your mum.
-
Thanks everyone! It's always encouraging to know people are praying for you! ;D
-
We're a family Beebers, that's what families do 8)
-
My biggest problem is feeling exhausted ALL the time from the low sodium. I get out of bed and feel like Ivve run a marathon.
-
What is the docs plan?
-
I have to go for another bloodtest but Im not really sure. Other than beingtotally whooped all the time Im not in pain Im not swelling so I dont think it's my kidneys and if it is it's not bad. I have to go back after the holidays. I just dont know. Im just tired of being tired lol. Me being tired is more abnormal than if the sky turned green.
-
I will be thinking of you my friend. :)
-
Ugh sick! I had to go to the ER last night! Dad is sick and mum had to go to the ER three days ago. I was taking care of everyone but now Im sick to. Please pray for us!

-
You will be in our thoughts and prayers beebs ;)
