Well, THAT's different! (Add yours)
Today I came home from a trip, and wanted an S-day treat.
So I ate 4 Dove Promises (each just a bit larger than a Hershey's Kiss), finishing up a bag in the pantry.
Here's the amazing thing: Today is June 21. I received those Promises for Mother's Day (May 11, I think). While it was a large bag (1.5 lb), I have been sharing generously with the family... and it has still lasted until NOW. (Part of that is that no one else ate them unless I offered because they were "mine," but more it was that I didn't eat them all fast...)
Wow.
In the past, that bag would have been gone in 3 days - and I'd have felt sick all three days, and hated that I had no willpower.
This time, it lasted a while... and I ENJOYED EVERY BITE.
Now, that's a change.
What have you noticed that's a "big change" from "how things used to be"?

Why, yes, just like you, I have a few things that are there, that shouldn't be there: there has been lemon sorbet in the freezer for three weeks, there was a frozen cake dessert that we bought two saturdays ago and just finished tonight, there has been a box of graham crakers in the pantry for about a month, now.
And I noticed that s'mores are far too sweet now, I just don't want them any longer.
Another thing: I don't remember when was the last time I had acid stomach, I was used to pop Tums almost everyday, not anymore.

I have a real weakness for chocolate covered nuts. In the past, I would go through periods when I would buy a bag almost every day.
On Friday (an S day for me) I bought some, poured about a third of them into a bowl, stopped before I was finished (admittedly, this was hard, but I was starting to feel yucky) and threw out the rest.
A bit of a waiste, sure, but I didn't binge, which is still amazing for me on S days.

And KCCC what a GREAT CHANGE that is!This time, it lasted a while... and I ENJOYED EVERY BITE.
Now, that's a change.
My changes, getting my treats during week for S days and not getting into them during the week
and when going through my days and feeling frustrated, bored, rebellious, sad ... WHATEVER
asking myself "how am I going to handle this?"
instead of "what am I going to eat?"
Ditching the I am sugar addict and "powerless over food mentality" and
OF COURSE ENJOYING MY S DAYS,

KCCC, I too, just finished off some Mother's Day candy - and I left it sitting on the buffet the whole time! It's truly amazing. And now, this past weekend was a good one for me. I never would have believed, two and a half months ago, that this would ever happen. I just wish I could convince all overweight people to try this.
