Glad to say this time it don't make me sick lol I'm going to make a protein shake in a little bit but ahhhh!! I want something sweet and salty and fattening!

I think your head is messing with you! I'm only a little over 5 weeks out, and it sounds like you are almost to goal. Hang in there, and do something to distract you from the ugly sweet/salty stuff. Keep your eye on the prize =)

Good Luck!

Your icon made me remember I craved icecream and had to have a cone. I did and it made me so deathly sick I don't want no more icecream!
Giving in to the cravings ain't worth the pain! LOL! I bought a watermelon They are cold and sweet and a real nice desert. They didn't make me sick.
My wife makes a smoothie with a bananna, some strawberries, a cup of milk yougurt and crushed ice in the blender sweetened with equal. Very good and don't make me sick.

Another thing I have tried lately is to take a banana and slice it into two freezer-safe containers and freeze it (you will then have two servings). When it's good and frozen take out one serving and drizzle it with SF chocolate syrup and/or add a Tablespoon of lite whipped topping...frozen! It's like ice cream that way. Yummy and cold and guilt-free if you are allowed bananas!

Shy smith I had some watermelon first time I had watermelon in over two years! Lol it was delicious! I will try the banana idea ruby red in my protein shakes I put 1/2 banana and now started adding strawberries. So I guess I need to change it up somehow and do something different its been the same protein shake since I had surgery 7 months ago!

Hang in there!!!!

A few thoughts...

If you've been eating more simple carbs than normal you are probably stuck in the carb craving cycle. The 5 day pouch test can help you "detox."

The first year, I was religious about eating 3 meals a day with no snacking. in between. If you are craving apples and peanut butter, make it part of one of those meals (eating protein first and keeping a ratio of 3 bites of protein for every 1 bite of anything else).

Insanity is tough stuff. Heck, the warm-up kicked my butt!! Extreme cardio like that will make you hungry. THe frustrating thing is it is super-easy to eat more calories than you just burned!!

You are gonna get to your goal. I feel it in my bones!! ;)
