Haven't had one in MONTHS, I miss them sooo much, but like you said-loosing weight is more important. <br />AWESOME job beating your craving!!!TinaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887169551220353462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380254805241116389.post-47438906128845779872010-08-26T22:19:08.190-04:002010-08-26T22:19:08.190-04:00Good job on your inner conversation.
That's s...Good job on your inner conversation.<br /><br />That's so important - to stop and at least ask yourself the questions and be conscious of the choice. Stopping and thinking about it is half the battle. It's the mindlessness that gets us.<br /><br />This summer I've been happy with plain iced coffee if I need the caffeine, and flavored seltzer (no sweetener, no calories) if I don't. I actually prefer this now, and I used to love frappes. <br /><br />Unfortunately I still like ice cream. And eating it (however mindfully) stalled weight loss for me several times this summer. I'm considering it a learning experience.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265427182282225638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380254805241116389.post-91849967523836928822010-08-26T21:42:01.184-04:002010-08-26T21:42:01.184-04:00Well done. :D
When I crave something like that, I...Well done. :D<br /><br />When I crave something like that, I opt for a blended iced coffee with lo fat milk and Splenda. I get something cold and refreshing, my caffeine jolt and a tiny fraction of the calories in a frappe or a Frappaccino. :DIce Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044595481713357711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380254805241116389.post-64704017573578351962010-08-26T21:41:48.844-04:002010-08-26T21:41:48.844-04:00You know, I was thinking... after I read this post...You know, I was thinking... after I read this post, maybe I misunderstood the context of the question that you asked me in a comment on my blog. About having a goal to lose wt and be at a certain number. <br /><br />Cuz I actually DO do it like you do... have these fun mini-goals to aim for along the way, to break up this LONG journey into little shorter distances. So, I guess I have to amend my answer, LOL!!<br /><br />I've had mini-goals from the start: get under 400, then it was in 10 lb increments for awhile. <br /><br />Then a big one was to be 350, so I could weigh in at the doctors office for the first time in 20 years.<br /><br />Then it was to be under 333... which used to be my hot-button number for several reasons.<br /><br />Now, it's to get OUT of the 3's!<br /><br />I guess I am just wary of putting too rigid of a date on it. I might figure out on a scrap of paper what I "might" weigh by a certain time frame IF I lost about 2 lbs per week... that kind of thing. But I don't make it a part of a set challenge. For whatever reason, I always fail at those!!<br /><br />Anyway, I think we ARE alike with enjoying having little mini-goals.<br /><br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380254805241116389.post-78414462762545260142010-08-26T20:25:26.786-04:002010-08-26T20:25:26.786-04:00YAY!!!YAY!!!Crazy Fat Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877912327361312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380254805241116389.post-52989896701971577052010-08-26T16:23:55.275-04:002010-08-26T16:23:55.275-04:00That's right.
