Guest guest Posted February 29, 2000 Report Share Posted February 29, 2000 Please forgive the cross posting...just wanted to share this with all of you! You know, lately I have been really moody, just HATE my job, very little tolerance for anyone, etc. I talked with my therapist and we discussed what I am doing different...one thing I mentioned is that I am craving sugar BIG TIME! I mentioned that since the holidays, I have been having sugar on a regular basis, you know, a piece of candy here, there, everywhere...Well, my weight loss has pretty much stopped (been bouncing back and forth between 180-183 for a month or so), and I am OK with that, but these sugar cravings are bothering me...I have always used Nutrasweet, or Equal or Sweet and Low in my coffee, and now I am using 3-4 packets per cup! ANYWAY, long story short (yeah, right) I got to really thinking about it, and came across a book that I bought a couple of years ago (pre-RNY) called " Potatoes not Prozac " . I started reading it last night and I can't believe how much I can relate to it...I mean the roller coaster emotions, etc, and how I have been noticing that I am becoming the person I was BEFORE surgery (moodiness wise, etc). It really appears that I am sugar sensitive, and react to sugar like an alcoholic does to alcohol! Anyway, as I was reading the book, I thought about all of you out there, and some of the recent posts re: carbs, white flour, etc. I don't know if this will help, but it sure seems like it may be the answer for some of us facing these challenges! Just wanted to share!
