It is still very difficult for me to admit to myself that I am a sugar addict and that I can't have sweets. Sweets set me off!!! Junk food just takes me to another place. It is so...frustrating. My husband had some family come into town for a funeral. You all know how difficult this was for me. People bring so much food to the homes of the family after death occurs. So many homemade cakes and pies. I had to literally leave the house and go shopping. Whatever it takes to stay on track.....right! Right, but at some point I had to come back to the house. I sat in the living room. I watched DVDs with my son. I went outside...but that sock-it-to-me cake was calling me. I gave in. I stayed within my 1500 calories all week until yesterday. I ate a slice of sock-it-to-me cake. Now most people that don't have the addiction factor would have eaten the cake and been satisfied. Not me..following the cake came chips, then donut, then....yes fried fish and chicken. I ate all of my calorie reserve in one night. Tears......
Smiles......Thank God that today is a new day. God's mercy is new every morning. I will have another opportunity to make good choices at family gatherings as I have done in the past.
From one sugar addict to another, I know where you are coming from. I could be doing so well and then I let myself eat some sweets and it's downhill from there. It's a huge struggle.
