I need a swift kick in the patooty---my booty.  I've fallen into a trap of my own making, hoist on my own petard, screwing myself...you get my drift.  Uggghhhhh!  I love sweets; they've forever been my weakness.  Sugar substitutes don't help.  It's like I trade one (food weakness) for another.  The potato doesn't hold as much sway as it once did.  So, I have managed to get the spud monster under control.  Now, I've got to tame the Sugar Beast within me.  It's SO true that after the surgery, you still have to deal with yourself and who you were prior to that.  No lie.  One step at a time is the only way I know how to do it.  I have tried to incorporate natural sugars in the form of fresh fruit, but I still find myself eating that miniature Snickers bar, ok 2-3 of them.  The Sugar Beast strikes at that time of the month, without fail.  I'm trying to work on it.  I will broach alternatives with my support group next week, and ask for some guidance.

Otherwise, I'm doing well, with the exception of the aforementioned and some issues with my cycle. *sigh*  A woman's life ain't easy.  Lucky for me, I'm not a wimp.  LMAO!

TTFN OH Family!
