Step away from the saltines!!

Oh my goodness! Never have I wanted a saltine so badly in my life!!! My poor DH has the flu, so I went out and purchased a box of saltines. We never have them in the house because they are a red light food for me - I just crave cheese and crackers like you wouldn't believe sometimes! I'd eat the whole box in a day or two!

So now I'm sitting here with the crackers nearby, and am struggling to keep from eating them.....so far so good. I had some turkey pepperoni and a piece of cheese instead. But those crackers are calling out to me!

I wish I could get rid of them, but DH needs something for when he's ready to eat again. Now let's hope I don't get what he has - I'm a big baby when I'm sick, and I doubt very much I'd be able to stay on the beach when sick! It's hard enough when I'm totally healthy!

Thanks, just needed to vent! This is sooo hard sometimes, but I know it will be worth it to get the weight off. I MUST keep trying!

You can do it.....just remember your commitment, how much you've accomplished so far in phase 1, and that phase 2 (and SB-friendly crackers) is just around the corner!

Hi Vicki,

I'm sorry to hear the hubby is sick. How many saltines do you think he will need? Maybe if it's just one sleeve, you can throw the rest out or give them away (I know, wasteful), and tell yourself, "I can't eat these, they are for dh when he can eat."

Just a thought... I have no willpower whatsoever over some foods, and I just can't have 'em in the house.

And, along with what everyone else said...


They are full of hydrogenated oil and will make you feel like ICK!

I have no will power to certain things too. I'd have DH hide them. :)
