Hi Mitch, *red light foods*

I understand exactly. I believe that I have finally come to terms

with these. There is no other way to do it for me, other than not

have it here..

I am slowly finding other things that can take their place and

satisfy me. One thing I found out lately is that granola bars are a

set me off kind of food. I replaced them with Kelloggs cereal bars

and fruit loop bars, go figure eh... but I find them more filling,

bigger and they do the trick AND I can stop at one or two...and be

content with it. This is surprising to me, you would think they would

be the same thing, but no, I can handle them very good.. I use low

fat pretzels, and potato chips I can have just a few and be fine, no

problem..good job, as it is one food my hubby likes to have in the

house. He don't go crazy over them anymore, and will have a small

portion too..so then its just seal the bag tight, put away, and I

could care less about them. Vanilla ice-cream is just about one of

the worst set me off foods I have, AND one my hubby does want in the

freezer all the time. So I keep it inside the grocery bag and down

under, hoping I dont see it.. AND he has to serve himself, none of

this " hon would you get me a little dish of ice-cream " . I found that

when I got it, I would have a taste and then end up helping myself

with way too much, and heading into a binge..it is just a bad food

for me to sample , then the cakes with frosting. You get the picture.

Right now I am into having lots of berries, and melons. I think I am

hitting a phase with them at the moment..a good one!!

And boy I do get a lot of ideas from the group members, on new

products and how to use them..

It is hard on folks who have children in the home, because no matter

how healthy you want them to eat, they still want some treats

around..and rightly so..we were all kids once..lol!!

Some people are gonna say " well you can't say you will never eat it

again " , well how do they know what I CAN do, and NO I am not saying I

will never eat it again, just not right now...

It is good to know that there are other people out there who are in

the same boat, and that I am not something strange.. I don't mean

that its good, but you know what I mean..

So stand strong there Mitch... and have a nice day..

the house - won't hurt the kids to do without..... Macho me said, " I

can control it - I can have an occasional taste " - but if its one of

those things that sets me off.... I now know I just can't. Mitch

have that stuff around here, I tried, AND I found out I could eat it

it, when I can't control a little thing like that......Kallie
