Yeah!
It arrived yesterday and have finished it already! Just about devoured it and feel more informed about choices I can make. Probably made the fatal mistake of trying dextrose treats too soon. (They were so yummy they were hard to stop eating as one was not 'cured' yet) We have stopped these for the time being. Also now will be cutting out artificial sweetners (I had a sneeking suspicion our use of diet cola adn equal was not doing us any favours and it would have to go!!) I am fine with it though 'cos now I know why! Information is power!
I am confused though about when you can have treats. Dessert, cakes and biscuits etc. I dont go out to parties much but hubby and I have always loved dessert and biscuit/cake snacks. (happy to have our own little party at home each day.) So when you say 'party food are for parties' does that mean only once a year or can we have a little cake treat daily and our usual (now sugar free) dessert (All be it smaller portions as our appetite will hopefully not let us eat much)
I notice you mention putting a sugar free biscuit treats in your kids lunch box so I am thinking maybe a little something daily is okay?? I am just confused. I love sweet things and I know you say you will get past it but I can't imagine how (I guess this means I am not through withdrawl yet) Although most physical symptoms have gone eg headaches and I am finding I can't eat nearly as much - all good signs.
There doesn't seem to much point in making a batch of cup cakes if you can only have 1 or 2 a year!!
Sorry to be so dense but I guess I am stuck somewhere between my old world and my new reality and still learning.
Cheers
Angie.
ps Certainly will let you know how I get on over the next few weeks
