My brother and I were going to our Christmas Eve walk but there's no snow here :( I did a 5K swim at a pool instead :)<br />Merry (belated) Christmas and a very Happy New Year Sean!

I did prepare it with love! :) Yeah--I really believe it's in my best interest to stick with natural fruit based/sweetened desserts from here on out. It really messed with me physically. <br />It's been a wonderful exploration, Neca--and it's continues!

I know that holiday meal was delicious because you prepared it with love. :-)<br /><br />I've gotten to where artificial sweeteners don't do well with me. When I have a diet pepsi (infrequently) I know it! You may find yourself drifting more toward the natural fruit kind of desserts. Heck, I love to eat plain butternut squash. It tastes plenty sweet to me with nothing added!<br /><br />You've had quite the journey Sean. I look forward to reading all about what you do in the coming year! Take care. necahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979071284874862384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-15495089805505064572014-12-26T13:34:45.866-06:002014-12-26T13:34:45.866-06:00Glad you had a good day.

Some people are really sensitive to them, even in really small doses.<br /><br />I ate healthily too yesterday and feel better for it.

If you think about it, these ironclad rules apply to every meal, or snack we eat & drink the rest of our lives. It's very possible that piece of pie did not agree with you. Lets just rule out all the other food and assume it was the sole reason for you discomfort. You know me -- when I say I view that sugar free piece of pie worse than had it been a regular piece of pie. My condolences - NOT! if this causes you to skip the sugar free pie next Christmas. LOL! It's very difficult to question your eating habits these days and love picking on you when I get the chance. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676239484303269224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-75323159210947745612014-12-26T11:07:09.880-06:002014-12-26T11:07:09.880-06:00Yes, indeed--Karen...

But as you said---the body rejects whatever it is in it... <br />Listening to my body in such a fine tuned way is a relatively new thing for me. <br />I've really made the support system critically important. It takes effort because it doesn't come natural to reach out for support-- the opposite is natural...withdrawing and isolating, trying to stay strong alone..Realizing the power of good support when it's used and offered, has really been a blessing learned.<br />Thank you Karen!

During the year between loss and long term maintenance my body let me know "okay for now, but not for long term"<br /><br />Glad you are in a space where the clarity can have you listening to your body's feedback. <br /><br />Your support system is awesome.
