I’m sure you’ve missed me – I am very sorry for taking this long to update my blog – I have been one very busy woman! But, I am also saddened to tell all of you that I fell off the wagon…HARD! As you read from my last blog I was doing so well with my craving meter being a 0 on Day 10; well I kept this momentum up until Easter Sunday (Day 21) – so much for the theory that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit!!! Anyway, I made it a point to make a low-fat, low-sugar dessert which was a huge success and very yummy – this dessert is not what derailed my previous success – those delicious Reese’s eggs are what did it! Just the smell of them puts me into a state of euphoria and I assured myself that just having one would be perfectly ok…WRONG!! Since tasting that very first egg I have consumed a total of 7 Reese’s eggs, yes 7. And on top of that I have had ice cream numerous times, a pop tart with peanut butter on top (peanut butter makes everything better), sugary cereal (too much of it), all of the girl scout cookies hidden in my desk, and candied coffee. There are probably others I should list too, but I was in such a sugary state that I can't even remember what I may have consumed (DISCLAIMER: if you ran into me in the previous weeks I cannot be held accountable for anything I might have said or done due to the amount of sugar coursing through my veins).
(No this is not me - if it were that piece of cake would be bigger and I would be laughing hysterically!)
I’m only airing out this dirty laundry because I need you guys to hold me accountable, but I also need you to see that I’m not perfect and this sugar thing really has a hold on me. So now, I must basically start over again and wean myself off of sugar, again. Moving forward I don’t quite know how I will allow myself to have sugary treats (even for special occasions) without it affecting me like this. I do think that had there not been any sweets in the house after Easter I would have been fine, so moving forward I will have my husband hide the boys' chocolate and candy in an effort to keep me out of it! Wish me luck...I'm gonna need it!
