it keeps me busy.
Chewing gum has been a "strategy" i've used in stopping my nail biting. So I'm trying to see if it will work with curbing my cravings as well. So long as I have something in my mouth I seem to be ok. I know that came out all wrong. haha!
AND GUYS PLEASE KEEP "THOSE" COMMENTS TO YOURSELF! HARDY HAR HAR!
he he you like that comment eh???
What kind of gum do you chew? My fav is juicy fruit and trident spicy cinnamon.

Favorite - bubble gum flavor, watermelon (but trident and freedent don't have that flavor), and regular old peppermint.
What brands of bubble gum and watermelon??? Oh yes I really like trident bubblegum flavor, except they dont have it in the multipacks here. Yes i chew way too much!
watermelon flavor - any i can get my hands on, i love watermelon flavored gum and candies.Jill said:
bubble gum flavor - trident and extra (though extra doesn't last an extra extra extra long time as the commercial says... in fact it SUCKS).
Hahahaha are we really critiquing and reviewing chewing gum here? hahahaha!
Fun! I'm a total candy freak. Incidentally, an author I absolutely love, Steve Almond, just published a book earlier this year called Candy Freak - and any of us who love candy, will love this book. That, and the author is not only funny but a phenomenal writer.
If you have time to read, check out his other book, My Life in Heavy Metal. KICK. ASS.
A candy book would make me think of candy too much. Not a good idea
Actually you will feel so overwhelmed by all that candy talk that you will probably not want to look at another candy bar agian for a while! he takes a tour across the country visiting all sorts of small candy makers, covering the demise of the independent candy companies as the larger ones bought them out or drove them out of business, etc. And he covers specialty candies, retro candy, the rebirth of a lot of discontinued candies thanks to the internet and current obsession with pop culture and all that. It's REALLY interesting-- you know, if you can get past the chocolate cravings the first few chapters will cause.Jill said:A candy book would make me think of candy too much. Not a good idea
And oh my god he talks about touring the lake champlain factory - they make one of my all-time favorite chocolates, the Five Star line. I was soooo jealous of him when i was reading the book - wanted to be him! haha!

hey chickie! So far so good! I've gone through half a pack of Trident, but I haven't had cravings OR bitten my nails. Yay!dianas05 said:
How's your day?
I'm glad to hear that.
My day is going great! I just got home from work because I'm working from 5 am to 1 pm. (I gotta get up @ 2 am
) There more info about it in my journal, btw.
Anyways, I'm having some cravings of my own today and I'm not sure what to do about it. I would like some chocolate -- Lindt. 
I don't know though.

BUT DON'T DO IT MISSY!
Alright, alright, I won't do it! Maybe I can substitute it with fiber 1, fat free plain yogurt, whey powder, and some nuts? What do you think?
i am no expert but i'd say cut out the nuts. hhahhaha that didn't sound right. EXCLUDE the nuts.dianas05 said:
no nuts? 
please? 
LOL.
please? LOL.Nuts are good for you sillys! Just in moderate amounts
Just in moderate amounts
So I guess it's a "go" then? Miss Jilly said so.
i'd say it's a lot of calories in a teeny tiny serving, and you've got enough wth the yogurt fiber and stuff... but that's just me. that's what i'd do.dianas05 said:So I guess it's a "go" then? Miss Jilly said so.
You're right.
What do you think of my diet?
What do you think of my diet?
Like I said, I'm no expert, so please please don't take my word as the gospel on the subject. Here's what I think. In general, you're eating GOOD foods, but going by what you state as your goal at the first entry of your journal, I'd say you're taking in too many calories. HOWEVER, you also have a more active day than I do. I sit at my desk all day and the only physical activity I get is when i go to the gym. You sound like you are more physically active at your job, so perhaps you're doing fine by eating more calories. If anything I'd say taper off the starchy carbs toward the end of the day (fruits, rice, oats, that sort of thing). And As Vioepe (sp?) suggested, maybe you should consider taking a multivitamin, so that you don't have to take so many individual supplements. GNC has a women's ultra mega, and Vitamin Shoppe also has a great multivitamin for women.dianas05 said:You're right.

Having said all that, since you said you are interested in cutting, I'm not sure if you've read Jodi's sticky on cutting and maintenance
and a follow-up thread that Tony started, with more questions and answers. There's tons of helpful information in there and it's helped me modify my diet some more since I started visiting this site.
The Old Ivy vs. The New Ivy
Today I got some news that sent me reeling. The old Ivy would have gone home, ordered a pizza with extra cheese and sausage (after picking up cheetos, wine and hershey's kisses on the way home), and would have wallowed and sulked and obsessed about coulda-shoulda-wouldas until sleep overcame her.
The new Ivy came home (without any pit stops), put on her sneakers, and did her jumprope HIIT workout, and then sat down and had her healthy dinner just as she'd planned.
The news is still crappy and I am still angry and sad and generally BLAH, but I have this really weird inner peace kind of feeling I never had in the past in situations like this. When I said that the biggest change in this journey is coming from within, I wasn't kidding.

Hey Ivy, I am really sorry that you got crappy news, but I am so proud of you for making that very important change of attitude. Your "new Ivy" personna is something to behold. Congratulations....You are so driven.....GoalGetter said:
Also, you are the first person to ever mention the follow up thread that I started and I am so happy that it has helped you in any way.... (Tony blushes.....)
Either way, I hope your night is better than your day....
Thank you Tony. It's been a rough afternoon (mostly due to me being angry at myself haha), but I'm cool now.fantasma62 said:Hey Ivy, I am really sorry that you got crappy news, but I am so proud of you for making that very important change of attitude.

And yes! Thank you for your follow up because there are questions inthere that I would have asked and didn't have to
Just read about your Aly having a "moment" at school, and the resulting fun afternoon you had with her. Glad she's ok!
Hey nena, don't be so hard on yourself. I am glad you are cool now...GoalGetter said:Thank you Tony. It's been a rough afternoon (mostly due to me being angry at myself haha), but I'm cool now.

Aly probably had a girl day. Ok, she isn't yet (and for a hell of a long time) having any of those.....problems, so for now I'll just call it a girl day...
She got home and fell asleep, so I spent about an hour and a half playing with Anthony...had a great time with that nut case....Hopefully he'll be asleep early too....Then I may be able to sleep longer than just 5 freaking hours...Ok I'm lying, it has nothing to do with sleeping......
I am very glad that the post helped you answer a few questions regarding cutting....
Either way, behave yourself...or don't
, your choice....Hugs...

As for behaving myself - yeah, if you call going to sleep at 10ish behaving myself, that's what I did!
New Day
Hopefully today I can keep up with this "new ivy" way of dealing with bad stuff.
Good morning, all!

Calling her after my meeting at 10:45pm... out like a light!
Sorry GG for that interruption last night! 
BTW, did I tell you everything got approved and that the American Red Cross (that foundation I was referring to) is on our side for the benefit/fund raiser? I will post more over into my journal so I won't congest your journal up!
Have a great day!!!
