Feeling Guilt Eating Treats

[lowcarbnic]

Does anyone else experience GUILT eating treats on this plan? 

I am so programmed to believe that sweeteners are poison and that if you are trying to lose weight you can't eat chocolate - even if it is low carb and sugar free.

Yes! But I have learned over the years to not keep anything in my house I can't eat.That way there is no temptation or guilt. Desserts are meant to be treats, not a food group!

OMG... that is SOOOOOOOOO true!  If I eat an individual treat a few times a week I'm ok, but if I keep treats, even sugar free in the house I'll go back to the cupboard for more and more.

Just for the record, my doctor told me he would never tell a woman to give up her CHOCOLATE !!!  Wise man!!!     The Russell Stover sugar free candy has helped me tremendously to make it through "special occasions" when desserts were plentiful.  Example: Halloween candy, Valentine candy, etc. will not tempt me in the future to go off the FTS program since I know I can sensibly eat the Russell Stover candy!  Bring on the food challenges -- I think I can now be ready with "replacement" foods!  Have a great day!
