Back On Track Together
My nemesis
I had been doing really well with no sugar (11 days), but last night I went on a mini binge of ice cream and any other sugar items I could find. Crap!
The good news is that:
1. I'm back on track today and
2. I think I understand why I did it
On weekends I don't do as well with meals as I do during the week. I don't plan as well (if at all) and I don't eat at 3 to 4 hour intervals. Last week I noticed that when I ate protein, veggies, and a bit of good carbs I didn't crave the sugar so much; it was bearable at least. So Sunday night, after a weekend of eating poorly, I gave into the sugar cravings.
Of course I felt awful, but not as bad as in the past when I made a mistake. At first I thought, well I've blown it, may as well keep eating. Then, and this has never happened to me before, I thought, "the sooner I stop the less damage I'll do." It also occured to me that I would still be okay if I stopped eating - I wouldn't die. And I didn't.
Probably it seems like a small thing, but I realized last night how far I've come and how much I've learned in the past 18 months. Hurrah!
Have a great day,
Tonya

This is great. Congratulation on making good choices.
A lot of people (most likely everybody - IMO) have days that they give to temptation. And maybe we do not that once in a while, to make us realize that the carby food do not make us feel good anymore (it makes me feel really bad).
