The Slippery Road to Perdition

[Guest guest]

Barb, I could have written this exact paragraph. You wrote my experience.

The

only way I ever effectively addressed it was accepting responsibilty for it.

" It started when I quit abstaining from ....sugar. For an entire year,

I abstained from white flour, sugar, caffeine, soda, processed foods, all

the breads..

Slowly, I have put back into my food program...coffee; processed foods;

breaded foods; sugar--a few bites of this & that (pie, etc.)...and then

WHAMMO! BIG time appetite! All the time appetite! I am having a struggle

each

and every day & will be so glad when Halloween is over. In my

" self-sabatoge "

I spent..oh...$30-$50 in mini-candies & there isn't much to hand-out

tonight...because, I bought them several times over in this past month. I am

at the gym 3-5 times/week. Daily, I am attempting (but failing so far) to

strive back---- to ABSTAINING as I used to do & get rid of these cravings!

Oh, yeah. I added " sweet alcohol drinks " back in, also :-(

This to me adds up to all of the danger signals of my pre-op thinking. I

know it all boils down to " choices " of what I do and do not put into my

mouth. And if I do or do not exercise, take my supplements, etc.

Wishing us all well,

Barb B. "

Amen to that, Dan!

I have decided to take responsibility for what I put into my mouth. During

this...one bite at a time, I shall remain abstinent.

Today, has been an abstinent day.....

It is only 4pm here & I hope to God that I can manage from now until

bedtime.

Hubby just went up for MORE candy....there wasn't enough to give out. His

only words to me were.... " ...is THIS ALL of it that is left? " I feel like

crap. There is nobody else here! Just us and he KNOWS what he ate from those

candy bags & it was not much :-(

I am going to have dinner soon....that should help. Then, I will hit the

sunflower seeds. Maybe then I will stand a chance of staying outta da candy.

SF seeds at least are protein.
