Since Halloween, ok way before then, basically since I got pregnant with Ryan, so about a year now, I've been really bad about eating healthy. I love sweets. In fact I'm afraid I've grown rather addicted. I have no idea how many bags of Halloween candy I bought to give out only to have the bag 'disappear' within a few days. Kit Kats have especially been my down fall as of late. And, my little pooch around the tummy speaks volumes for my junk food addiction. So I decided to take action...
A whole week of no treats.
No candy, no cake, no cookies, no donuts, not even hot chocolate. Nothing! Except popcorn, because it's way down there on the bad for you list and I've gotta have something to snack on if I'm not going to cave! I started on Monday, and how have I been doing you ask? Actually, awesome. It has been really really hard. Almost as hard as I thought it was going to be. But luckily we haven't had any parties to tempt me, and Brent has only handed me a candy bar a few times. I haven't gone nuts about eating super healthy meals, although I'm trying to be conscious; I bought pitas for the first time this week:) So just a few more days and I'll hopefully have just a little more self-control this holiday season.
Want to try it with me? You've still got a few days left to jump in...

Oh Abs, I am gonna be right behind you. I am always starving these days! I am getting huge and have no idea how I'm going to look normal after this pregnancy is over.
Abby, how would some old friends who are flying to Utah in a couple of weeks get in touch with you and your family???
I have a very slight candy addition as well. Okay, so it's huge. When Gary and I sit down to watch a movie all I can think about is what candy I want to eat. Sad..good luck with breaking the addiction. I'll be trying as well.
We are doing this too, but we chucked out all sweets basically, and indefinitely, not just a week. We took a couple days off for Thanksgiving, and will do the same for Christmas. It's definitely difficult, but a new way of living! Great job!
Ooo, I just don't know that I'm strong enough... It's the mint 3 Musketeers and Butterfingers that I can't stay away from. It used to be ice cream, but TJ's reflux gets about 10x worse when I eat any kind of dairy.
I'm really proud of you for being able to do this. Did you feel better during the week?(it seems everyone who does this claims gettting the sugar out of their system increases their energy)Are you going to do more?
