Yum! You're very lucky Val, enjoy those papayas! :)

Don’t  I know it! And I will! I never liked papaya from the store, they tasted ... soapy to me. Not sure why, but these off the tree are 1,000% better than anything I’ve had from the store. Sooooo good!  No soapy taste at all, just sweet and yummy. :)

Oh I get it! Maybe trying natural sweeteners like stevia/agave/maple syrup can help, but not sure how that affects your weightloss journey. Good luck! :)

Thanks! I think I just need to cut it back and curb that habit of having it so often, ya know? Half-way through day 2 and doing well so far! :-)

throwingitallup replied to your post:Artificial Sweeteners ...

Did you try with stevia? It can be a life saver!

Yes, stevia is what I use for the most part. The sweet taste just triggers my cravings tho. I have a bad habit of if a little won't hurt me, then a lot won't either! And that just doesn't work well for me, cos it gets out of hand and I have to rein it in. Thanks tho!

throwingitallup replied to your post “I really want my “breathe” tattoo. I think it would make me a lot...”

I can't even keep up with the times, so I'll just list the four better movies I saw for the first time this year:

The Wolf of Wall Street

Blackfish

That is literally all I can think of. I barely watch movies anymore, Netflix has gotten me hooked on TV shows.

Thanks for asking! :)
