Put to the test today !
« on: April 11, 2012, 07:49:25 PM »
Today is my second day with FTS !  Well I was sure put to the test of willpower.  Played MahJong from 10:30 to 4:00 with a bowl of beautiful watermelon all cut into chunks on one side of me and a huge bowl of grapes on the other. The girl whose home we were in made a huge salad and steamed shrimp for our lunch which was great for me but had homemade carrot cake for dessert.  I did not touch the cake either.  Very proud of myself tonight for not indulging in all the goodies.
Day 2 almost over and I am at 16 carbs so far. WHEW  :o
Y'all have a great night !

Debbie, I'm so proud of you! Hangin' tough!

I've made FTS desserts and put individual servings in the freezer, then when I'm going to some place where they will have goodies that I can't eat, I slip a dessert in my purse and if the temptation gets too much, I can pull out my FTS dessert. I do the same with cucumber and celery sticks, almonds, etc. so if I cave, I have something to fall back on. I know you're trying not to have that stuff (desserts and almonds) right now, but falling off to FTS snacks is a whole lot better than falling off to high-carb foods.

WATERMELON!  I started FTS on Memorial Day weekend last year and giving up watermelon took some will power. 

Congratulations on a successful day 2.

 What can you expect on day 2, the same as day 3,4,5 and 100....there will always be temptations in front of you. The answer? Always bring a tray of your own goodies to the party  ;)

Kudos Debbie!!! :) :) :) :) :)

You've proved you can resist temptation today.
So you can resist ANY day especially if you follow Doug's advice and bring along your own treats.

Remember... Preparation is 90% of the plan. Execution is 10%! ;)

What you do today is what matters!
