Don't hate me cause I'm a southerner!
« on: July 10, 2014, 09:53:46 AM »
Ok:) first Umpa, we are slowly working on it I promise:) trust me, none of us like being here. I just figure it's another stepping stone to something better! And I know there's a life lesson in all this "somewhere!" Haha...but for the past couple of weeks, or more I've been doing "A LOT" of tweaking of what I eat. I mean I was at a stall...to say the least. Well, one thing that I have been doing out of pure habit, cause I am a southerner & I LOVE my "sweet" tea! I'm not even gonna tell you how much sugar I was putting in it! I know Umpa would really throw for real potato salad at me!:) but I have cut out tea completely for a freaking week! Just one week & went from 208 to 204!! It will be hard to get tea out of my daily go to, but dang, who can resist these results? I had just become so a custom to drinking tea as apart of life, I couldn't figure out why I wasn't loosing any weight! My size 16 s are even loose on me. Heck I may even be in a size 12 way before next summer! Just takes motivation and will power & how bad you want it! & I really really want it:)

Hi, Stephanie! :)

You've just solved a case of "carb creep".
That's where carbs sneak into what we eat or drink without our awareness.
So good catch!!! ;D ;D ;D

But, you do NOT have to give up your beloved Sweet Tea!!!

Just substitute FTS Zero sweetener for the sugar.
It's made with sucralose (the stuff that makes sugar sweet) and has ZERO carbs!
One bottle is equal to about 6 pounds of cane sugar. Trust me, you'll love it! ;D ;D ;D

Tony
What you do today is what matters!
