I fought the law and the law won......



Recommended Posts

I spent the entire last week in another state with my Mom watching my niece and nephew. I was bored, stressed, did I mention all week with my Mom and tired. I decided to carb it up, not really carbs but sugar. I decided to have dessert, basically every night almost. My sleeve held me in check with portions but sugar was not an issue.

I gained 3 pounds.....3 3 is the magic number to slapping me back into my place. I am also now having to fight the sugar cravings I created again, annoying so annoying.

Some of you might think why go through all of this just to fall so far off the wagon. Well I still fight the mentality every day that one cupcake or package of M&Ms won't hurt. I have always ate when I'm happy, ate when I'm sad and ate for energy. I have not been allowed caffeine in many many many years so I used sugar as a boost. As for the why, I thought I wanted a week of freedom, but really it was a week back in the prison of sugar.

I played and I paid. So it's back to basics and back to feeling better, back to coloring in the lines.

I refuse to beat myself up though, I am a success and will be a long term success!!!

I am kind of feeling that way right now too. I am 9 months out and not so much sugar, but carbs, like bread, Pasta, and crackers. The more you eat the more you want, and crave. It is terrible and I m so mad at myself for getting out of control again, but I have thankfully not really gained, I am just hovering around 173-174lbs. I told myself to reset and get off these carbs, good luck to both of us.
