Hi everyone and happy AF day. Special congratulations Kathy for your start on Month 3! That is awesome - I can't wait to be where you are one day! And welcome Betty Boob (love your avatar collection too) for a ride on the AF train.

I found my cravings for sugar over the top during the first week to maybe 10 days of AF. I gave myself leeway at first, but the only way for me anyway, to get those cravings to stop is to stop feeding my body sugar and other crav-o-matic junk food. Deter thanks for the reminder about Omega 3's and cravings. I was taking them for different reasons - but need to remember this one too.

Day 34 AF is going great! The first 4 days of this challenge were sure a WHOLE lot easier than the first four days of the first challenge!

**waving to all who have checked in, and all who will check in later on**

Interesting info today - When I first stopped drinking I was exhausted. I felt tired for what seemed like weeks. When I was drinking I assumed I just didn't have a sweet tooth!
I said I preferred salty foods. Well, just wasn't true.
I have bought more ice cream and sweets in the last 6 months than I have in the last
6 years!
Det- thanks for that advice. I started Atkins today with the idea of mostly just cutting out the sugar and junk food. I did well all day - then came home and remembered the ice cream in the fridge and I gave in. Not so good for day 1 !

Starting back tomorrow. I' having some trouble with sleeping now too - and I take melatonin every night. I think it's just extra stress right now.
I haven' slept thru the night in about 3 weeks now. Very tiring.
Hcamper - good luck with hubbys new job. Keeping my fingers crossed for you
Kathy - just yea! happy for you
DG- hi! just wanted to tell you that I love how happy and upbeat your posts are!
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks and - you are doing really well!
Hey Popeye- happy to hear you are doing well and still AF. Sleep well.
Hi to everyone I missed. I didn't miss anything you wrote though!
good night-
Lisa
