Hello Surfkitty. I just read your profile and your words
beginning again, hit home. It is nice to know I am not alone. Maybe together along with our SS friends we can get back up and do this thing right. I say to my family, think protion control and think healthy, not skinny. Let's give it another try because we know we want to be around for a long time.
Hugs, Paula

Hey Paula, don't feel alone. I think someone took the wheels off my wagon and off I went. Getting back in the seat again now. Though where my motivation has gone is beyond me. I just keep going........

I could one of those buddies too. I'm no stranger to the low carb style, but I still keep going up and down the scale. I'm headed in the right direction again, thank goodness.

I was gonna suggest the Whey Low Gold too, or DiabetiSweet Brown, or even Sugar Twin Brown. Either of the 1st 2 would be best. I personally would never use the Splenda Brown sugar. It is as it sounds like you know, half SUGAR. I personally won't use sugar. (Can't say I never have ANY sugar anymore, as there is small amounts of sugar in several things I still eat. But as much as I can, I don't eat it, and won't cook with it.
I have used all 3 of the products above, and have been happy with the 1st 2. In most recipes I myself don't have a problem with the Sugar Twin either. Problem is oftne they are hard to find locally.

Hi Paula, welcome back!!! I knew I hadn't seen you in a while. Been missin ya.
Like you said, don't bet yourself up. It won't do any good anyway. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start over again. Sugar & bad carbs are a strong addiction. It's hard to break.

So here's a helping hand (or several) to climb back up on the wagon.

I could say, I fell off the wagon , but really, I actually knowingly stepped down and picked up the sugar bowl. The scale tells it all. How in the world did I let this happen? It was almost a year ago I started back up with SS and did great. I haven't gained it all back, but I can see it in the my face that the pounds are back. I don't have the drive I did a year ago and that scares me, because it is the right way to go and the right thing to do, Low Carb, plain and simple.
I won't beat myself up, but I am sure disappointed in myself , that I alone allowed this to happen. I had best rethink, and restart for my own well being. Thanks for listening.
Hugs, Paula

I made a batch of this today to mix with some pulled pork and it really is delicious. For a lower carb count replace the brown sugar blend with plain Splenda, but I really think that barbecue sauce needs a little of that brown sugar taste. I'm new to the low carb lifestyle but I love to cook!

Barbecue Sauce:

� � cup chopped yellow onion
� 2 cloves minced garlic
� � cup canola oil
� 6 oz can tomato paste
� � cup cider vinegar
� � c Splenda brown sugar blend
� � cup Worcestershire sauce
� � cup Dijon mustard
� � cup soy sauce
� � cup Splenda
� 1 tablespoons chili powder
� 2 teaspoons ground cumin
� � tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
In a large saucepan on low heat, saute the onions and garlic with the canola oil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar blend, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, Splenda, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.
Yield: about 2 cups

0.4 g sugar

You're welcome! Don't feel dumb, or alone Mary. Many (maybe even most) people find new sections all the time!
We have stickies at the top of the first page of many of the sections or forums which address many questions, yet people fail to see them.

It's just human nature I guess.
