I knew it was a mistake to buy the jelly beans but did so anyway. How many of you have used food to help distract pain? Was doing so well watching what I was eating and sabatoged myself with my favorite brand of jelly beans.

On a sugar high turn and need to get rid of the remaining bag...those jelly beans keep calling my name. yeah I'm old enough to know better but like a kid who needs to be naughty once in a while.

Need to detox...drinking lots of water. Do certain foods call your name, espcially when you are hurting?

Hugs, Robin

Hi Robin,

Healthy foods call my name when I'm hurting. Many times a healthy food helps me feel better.

I feel very proud of myself for turning down inflammatory and sweet treats and I don't have them in the house.

Hope you feel better soon.

Chocolate or potato chips are my weaknesses,  nono   but I'm trying to work on that.  Like almost medfree, I try not to have them in the house, but sometimes someone here will sneak some in.  rolleyes   I think we all fail at times, but I guess we just have to jump back on track. :-)


Those chocolate bunnies are "calling," but I haven't answered yet...... scool

I did that with some cookies on Sunday that I bought for my grandaughters that were coming over, I think I ate 3/4 of the box, got very sick. I also know better!

Yep! Chocolate anything, Fritos, potatoes w/butter & salt, any bakery food fresh from the oven (not that I really have to worry about that one, because I almost never bake ;) Sauteed veggies, which don't agree with my gut if I eat much of them. Oh, and gummy worms (they make my throat feel weird.)

I hope your detox works fast and you're over your sugar high in no time. That's not such a fun feeling.

If it's sweet, I want it when I'm in pain.

My really big craves are chocolate and doughnuts.

I'm trying to limit my sweets in the house, because they scream my name a lot.

I ODed on Jelly Bellies the other day. I was given a small bag months ago so I decided to have a few the other day. There is no such thing as a few jelly beans. LOL. AND to make things worse, I'm diabetic! So I did flush my body by drinking loads of water and also walked a lot and that helped.

Yes, there are many foods that call my name. I usually can ignore them but not this time.

I love creamy things and salty things. Sugar, really not so much.

Jelly beans would make me very sick too!!

Water, pepto, and time. No more suagr!

I came down off my sugar high and will work at getting back on track. There are some things I cannot eat in moderation, jelly beans are just one of many foods that it is hard to eat just one.
It's easy for me to eat just one celery stick :) Sugar, salty, creamy, spicey...love it all. I've been known to eat a dinner plate full of steamed brocolli too.

I'm not feeling guilty...and it looks like I'm not alone in getting into grazing on some junk. Almost medfree...I commend you on keeping such a strict diet, it would be difficult for me never to eat chocolate or potatoe chips...or jelly beans.

Eating a healthy dinner tonight...baked chicken, brocolli,baked potatoe and green beens....no dessert :)

Hugs, Robin

I'm proud of you, Robin, that sounds like a delicious dinner.

I'm far from perfect with all this, Robin. I do test those foods that don't agree with me now and then. It usually makes me want to stay away from them all the more.

I think when we don't eat the bad ones for a while, we get use to not having them and don't crave them so much.

But I'd sure love to have a Whopper or a slice of pizza. Sometime I'm going to buy one of those gluten free Amy's frozen pizzas. I've had them before. I'd eat it over two days. They're delicious. I haven't had either a whopper or a piece of pizza in over 5 years. I recall the increased discomfort and pain too much. I might try the pizza again.

Robin, I was just introduced to Jelley belleys. Oh my they are so good. I am testing all those favors out. Butter popcorn was my new one. I can almost make myself sick on them. I found out they give me a sugar rush and then I couldn't sleep one night.

AK, I love Jelly Bellys! They only make two flavors I can't stand-black licorice and pear. UGH!

I try to buy just a bag once a year to avoid over doing them. They can last a month if my niece and mother doesn't get into them. :)

I am junk food junkie!!! But whenever I overdo it on salt, sugar etc... I get a bad craving for cucumber. I don't know why, but whenever I feel "food yuk" a cuke always makes me feel better. Maybe it's because it's watery and has some easily absorbed nutrients? I dont know, but it never fails.

Maybe replace your jelly beans with something good and sweet like a piece of water melon, there are good sweet things to switch your carvings to, in May my biggest craving is for blueberries and can actual almost over do it...but every once in awhile I need something sweet, maybe stock up on some Dark Chocolate are try to get used to it...I have a bag of mini 3 musketeers dark chocolate raspberry and might eat one a day they are very small, I bought this bag in February and will only keep it around til it's gone or for 3 months as chocolate can go bad....

I've been treating my sweets urges with fruits. I keep at least three type of fruit in the house now. Bananas, grapes, and oranges are on hand right now along with applesauce.
I still am working on my chips urges. I've cut it from chips to chex mix. Now I have to wean myself from those.

Great idea, Angelic.

Concerning the chips, I love them too. In the morning I have a handful of black bean chips or flax seed chips (I like the Beanito brand it seems the healthiest) with my guacamole.

In the evening I have some crackers because I also like the crunch. I eat the Back To Nature brand. They seem to be the healthiest.
