Turn this recipe into a puzzle! [click]


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a cookie sheet w/ cooking spray. Mix the peanut butter, Splenda, and egg all together. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. (The original recipe says you get 20 half-dollar-sized cookies, but I usually get more like 12-14.)

Dip a fork in more Splenda and flatten the cookies crossways, like you do the usual peanut-butter cookie. Bake 9-10 minutes.

Divide the number of cookies by the number of carbs in the peanut butter to get a count per cookie.

I'm doing great. Thanks for stopping by once again! I can't think of a time when I felt better. I'm aware that I'm a food addict and attend my on-line meetings when my schedule permits.

How have you been? How are things going for you?

Hugs,

Berta

~ SELF-SABOTAGE ~

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

"The truth is that our finest moments
are most likely to occur when we are
feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy,
or unfulfilled. For it is only in such
moments, propelled by our discomfort,
that we are likely to step out of our
ruts and start searching for different
ways or truer answers."

M. Scott Peck

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:

For the last fifteen years I have been
an avid and restless student of
"self-help." I read popular books, spent
years in therapy, and attended various
support groups. Because I didn¢t see any
improvement in my life, I was consumed
with anger, shame, bitterness, and a
pervasive sense of injustice. I blamed
my Higher Power, my family, my partner,
and my life circumstances. Only since
joining The Recovery Group have I
discovered the source of my toxic
stagnation. It was myself. When doing a
thorough examination of my life, I was
absolutely shocked to find that I had
been repeatedly practicing destructive
acts of self-sabotage.

I was in love with my suffering. I was
addicted to my misery. Sometimes we
cling to our illnesses and weaknesses
because they are so familiar to
us. Though they hurt us, we find them
oddly comforting. It's what we're used
to. And change is scary. The unknown is
scary. I found that my self-sabotage
stemmed from shame, anger, low
self-esteem, my lust for being a Victim
-- and even a Fear of Being Well. I had
to reach the profound darkness of
depression before I could admit that the
damage I did to myself had become
unbearable.

Now I make a choice each day to not
sabotage myself. It's not easy. Rather
than being my enemy, I choose to be my
friend and advocate. With the help of
this program and my friends in recovery,
I have come to like myself and to truly
want good things for myself. The changes
are gradual and require me to be patient
and gracious with myself. Now I can
celebrate each baby step and forgive
myself when I fall back into old
patterns. I now know that when I do make
a mistake, I can admit it, learn from
it, and press forward with my Recovery.

ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .

I will choose to accept myself as a
person of worth. I will resist
temptations to sabotage my recovery and
I will choose good things for my life.

Hey Lisa,

Again, thank you for posting for me. Schedule is rough, but I am making it. I sent you a text earlier this morning. Hope you got it

I found 2 gram terriyaki marinade. It's made by Sunbird. I can marinate a whole chicken in it for 2 grams total. Since I don't eat the sauce, it's ok. Chicken sustains me in rough craving times!
 
Yep I got your text :) Just not when you sent it cuz I slept in today, lol. I'll have to go check my teriyaki sauce now cuz some chicken sounds good for tomorrow.
