What makes you smile on an Up Day? - Page 2

KathyL · 10-19-2012, 06:58 AM

For yesterday's UD.....I had 2 pieces of fudge saved from what dd made the previous day when I couldn't have it. It was soooooo good and fit my plan for the day. But then I was 'bad' and ate not 1, not 2.....but 6 of her cookies. (At least they were small. LOL) Planned to have 2 but they were so good my sweet tooth didn't want to stop. But you know what.......I was super busy all day and skipped B & L knowing I might have sweets after dinner and my numbers were still good. Having that boundary kept me from feeling guilty and going on to eat a dozen....and that makes me smile. Up .4 this a.m. which is perfectly normal for me following any UD. I know it will be gone tomorrow. And even though there are still cookies left I am not tempted to have them today since I had my fill yesterday. (I know those weren't healthy choices and really, I don't do that every UD...but it's nice to be 'able' to now and then.)

I'm another who enjoys sweets and desserts. And also, who doesn't have them all the time either. And who appreciates a plan that allows me to work them into the plan without so much as a blip on the radar.

I also find it interesting that just because I can, doesn't mean that I do. I could work sweet treats in on a daily basis, but I don't. Just when I decide I want something, and that usually isn't all that often.

I should add.. JUDDD has really changed my view about all foods, sweets and treats included. Compulsions eventually just fade away. JUDDD magic, I guess. Whatever it is, the fact that JUDDD has entirely changed my relationship with food is a welcome miracle.

Dawn gets soy and edamame back!

This makes me smile on a MD

Dawn - so glad your new endo is so good for you! And congrats on the soy freedom! YAY!

Pat - there really is something freeing about this WOE. I'm amazed by my reaction to it. When you know you CAN have something, it somehow takes away the obsessive reaction. I can have ice cream any 2nd day I want. And you know what? I haven't had ANY since I started JUDDDind. Crazy. Wonderful. Amazing. WOW!

Dawn, I'm glad you're able to have a bit of soy here and there. It's really hard to completely avoid some ingredients that seem to be in every food out there. I have a pretty strong wheat/gluten sensitivity but I sometimes allow it in tiny amounts like in soy sauce and it hasn't affected my body negatively. I'm thankful I can do that because I know others may not be able to.

I feel the same way about JUDDD and freedom. Just knowing I can have whatever I want on occasion (within the confines of my food allergies and health restrictions) really made a huge difference in my relationship with food and dieting. I've never found a woe that's as positive and freeing as JUDDD. I don't have any binging or uncontrolled falling off the wagon episodes anymore because the reality is that I enjoy the way I eat now and I love the food that I eat as well. No reason to binge if I can just schedule it into the next UD (or heck, even on a DD if I can fit it in).
