To Lose Weight You Have to Make Sacrifices

Hope everyone had a great Easter dinner.  I have to admit ours was lacking some of my favorites!  I guess we are willing to give up some things in order to lose weight-even if it is grudgingly lol.  So, let's talk about what wasn't there this year.  No sweet potatoes.  Let me just say I love sweet potatoes-too much.  There were no mashed potatoes.  How can you have turkey without mashed potatoes.  Such is life trying to go low carb.  There was no gravy.  I still missed it on the turkey, but hey, who needs it if there are no potatoes to put it on anyways.  Plus, there were no pies, no cakes, and no brownies.  Yeah, i guess I am still pouting about it, but no one ever said losing weight was easy.  I just hope to see some results soon.  Before I run out of food to cut lol.  Did you do without any favorites this year?

    I feel lucky that our family didn't have a strong Easter traditions... at least none revolving around sweets and food (aside from a pretty competitive easter egg hunt).

    We don't have food traditions for Easter either. We just ate our normal healthy stuff. :)

      I guess sometimes I just want to quit the healthy stuff- but only on the holidays lol.

      I wonder if you maybe shouldn't have a holiday from the rigors of a strict diet? Eat half of a brownie, eat a small serving of mashed taters with a spoonful of gravy. Look at food as more or less a business relationship.

      Easy for me to say though isn't it?

    I have been in maintenance 3 months now. I had sweet potatoes made with Splenda Brown sugar and regular Splenda. No butter and they were as good as when I loaded them down with reg sugar. That may be a way to have them when you reach your goal.
