Yep i know its mostly this anxiety but i can't stop it. I'm feeling doubtful about my sway all together today because I'm thinking about food an my sway maybe 70% of everyday I'm not just relaxed like alot of other swayers i worry my ocd/anxiety will sway boy no matter what i do and everything is pointless because of this. I keep thinking maybe medication would be the only thing that could save my sway.
Are there any free (ish) alt sweet treats we can have? Like marshmallows are they still ok on the girl sway diet? Would love a go to sweet treat.Last edited by Kazzzz; June 8th, 2022 at 07:55 PM.

I just want/need to get my period back asap so i can conceive asap. It's not easy being on a sway with ocd/anxiety. I've aways got fixated on things in my life whether its a diet or a job i give to much and go all in on it. (it) is always something different and right now its swaying but me going into it so hard is actually hurting my sway like you've said and I've known this since my first failed sway but how do i stop. I think i mite try the medication. I have it in my cupboard but i just never really take medications of any sort unless it absolutely necessary.

On the alternate diet you can't have sugary stuff like marshmallows. Anything that's sweetened with sugar is not allowed. Is there something that's artificially sweetened that you might try??
If anxiety is truly something out of your control, then that's when you might consider the medication. Now, I personally don't like taking medication either, but if you really simply can't break out of what we call the "hamster wheel brain" mindset then it's something to consider. There's a big difference between people who are making color coded charts and daily schedules because they think "this will help my sway" and then I tell them to stop and they do stop, vs. someone who is simply compelled into a certain set of behaviors over and over again and honestly can't just stop doing that. If you're in the latter camp, then I'd definitely speak with your doc and see if it's something that can benefit you, not only for your sway but in your overall life!! Unchecked anxiety that manifests in compulsive behavior is life-ruining and it very well may be that you do need a bit of extra help moving past that, sway or no! Just food for thought.!!!

Yep I've had doctors etc offer me medication for anxiety many times I've tried some but never stuck to anything so jt is clinically a diagnosis on my medical chart. Not ocd but I'd say the anxiety is creating some ocd tendencies an it leaves me clinging to things and going all in type of thing. I have the medication so I'll think about it over the weekend.
There are no sweetened treats i have in mind but if i find any I'll let you know and it would be had with a meal not in between.
Ok back to the rice cakes I'm still thinking they are not good for a girl sway. I eat 6 rice cakes with stir fry veg with hummus an salad dressing for breakfast. My rice cakes are lightly salted plan brown rice cakes but the problem is is that they basically contain no fiber so just all carbs an rice cakes are bad for blood sugar so not recommend for people with diabetes even brown rice cakes. (i dont have diabetes) There are 30 carbs in 6 of my rice cakes and 2 grams of fiber. If you 1000% believe they are a great girl sway food can you tell me please. I'm wondering if a wholemeal wrap would be better since the fiber stops the conversion to sugar or something like that or maybe i should have a small serving of psyllium husk when eating them? I have experienced low blood sugar alot since having my middle child 5 years ago were i get shaky sweaty an weak and feel overwhelmingly hungry. I'm nit sure if thats a diabetic thing. My sister and auntie both with all boys also experience this monthlyLast edited by Kazzzz; June 9th, 2022 at 07:34 PM.

Also it looks like anxiety raises blood sugar maybe this is also working against me. Did you say you used stevia while girl swaying right?

30 grams of carbs with 2 g fiber is ok. That's not bad at all. Keep eating them if that works for you. Less than two slices of whole wheat bread, and people eat that all the time. The wholemeal wrap is also good.
Please stop counting carbs or even thinking about them. It is not necessary and only gives you another detail to obsess over.
I don't think rice cakes are "a pink food" because there are no pink foods. They can be part of a pink sway diet but there's nothing magic about them, eat a whole grain wrap sometimes if you prefer, or whole grain bread. The limits are what matters and avoiding the sugar and white refined grains.
Adding fiber with carbs gains you nothing really. (only with fatty foods) The reason why we mention fiber with carbs is because carbs that are from fiber, don't "count" for net carbs. Not because the fiber helps your body regulate the carbs really, but just because food with fiber in it has fewer carbs than you think (thus rice cakes only have 28 g carbs.)
No, I didn't use stevia, that was another person who chimed into the thread.
Please don't worry about "anxiety raising blood sugar" or things like that. We don't know how any of this works. Just do what works for most people most of the time, stick in those limits and try not to go down the rabbitholes where you're worrying about things that don't mater and/or are not known.!!!

High carbs without fibre turns to sugar in the body or something like that an thats why diabetics have to be careful while eating rice cakes in particular. I'm going to ditch them an have a wrap instead just so I'm not thinking about it anymore. Its been on my mind like a red flag since i started swaying. Its ok i love wraps too. Thanks for you advice an support it means alot to me. Which sweetener did you use while swaying? What sweetener do most use? I'm scared that I'm cheating by using sweetener because i enjoy it as much as sugar lol i use it like sugar it tastes like sugar mainly the liquid and so i feel like I'm still having sugar. I'm learning to bake with it since baking sweets and eating sweets are my happy place. I hope this isn't counterintuitive

Are broccoli and cauliflower completely free? Even in high doses lol I've made a creamy broccoli and cauliflower soup it has 2 whole cauliflower in it one of the Collie flowers has been blended into the base and also 2 whole broccoli. I thought I'd check since last time with the tomatoe soup you told me to count cals since it was a ton of tomatoes not just a side or few slices etc
