I have a serious weakness for chips and salsa at mexican food restaurants. I didn't eat any for about 2 months, but I just can't go any longer!! It's my one indulgence, but I feel so guilty. Does anyone else have one thing that they just can't give up any longer? Please tell me I'm not alone! :-) I do really good other wise.

Oh no no no...you are not alone.

I love Double Stuff Oreo's and cupcakes (and anything cake-like for that matter)! I am having a SUPER-TOUGH time but I am committed to make this work.

My weakness is this fabulous Chex Mix that my grandmother makes...she's tweaked the recipe over the years and it's just sooooooooo good. I have a container of it in the house now that she brought up for my cousin and I before I started SBD, it's currently hiding in the basement so I don't eat the whole thing. I already know that that's going to be an indulgence for me at Thanksgiving, she always makes a huge batch for holidays. I'm looking forward to that almost as much as to the apple pie!

If you have a weakesas for salsa and chips at the Mexican Restaurant. Just take a hand ful and STOP asked the waiter to take it away.Big Mistake, Depriving yourself of a craving will make it worse you'll want to eat everything in sight.Learned that from another diet plan.Hope that helped Hugs Maryann

My husband has the same weakness. I buy him the low carb snack chips (in the low-carb section of Wal-Mart) and serve them with salsa. It is amazing that the little bag of chips satisfies him, but it does. If it helps him stay on track they are worth every penny!

Thanks guys for letting me know that I'm not alone. So far I've been eating some, but I'm breaking the chips up into tiny pieces on a little plate and I use lots of salsa. I've done this a few times now, so maybe I can go back to not eating any until I just can't take it anymore. I also just realized that it's almost that TOM (sorry to the guy on the board!) Anyway...thank all of you for your encouragement. Ya'll are the greatest!
