    Sugar really IS evil!!!!

    Hi Family,

    Over the holidays, I allowed myself to partake of SMALL amounts of desserts. I did not gain weight.

    However, after of few weeks of letting myself partake of more sugar laden foods, I've gained 4 lbs! I did not realize how quickly (and STRONGLY) my body started to crave that poison! I had even increased my activity level during this time and STILL gained the 4 lbs! These foods did not even taste that good, but my body wanted it. I was feigning!!!

    I have gone off the sugar cold turkey and don't feel as crazy-out-of-control when I'm around sweets. I have gone back to not allowing sugary foods that I know I crave in my house. I can't even have cereal or bananas at home at this point.

    I know 4 lbs sounds like a small amount, but as we all know, 4 lbs can be just a pit stop on the way to 104 lbs. I am 5'2" so this gain is noticable. When I got on that scale, I could not believe my eyes! I wanted to slink into the corner of the bathroom and cry.

    I have kept the weight off for almost 2 years and this experience is terrifying for me. I keep thinking, what if I can't get rid of the 4 lbs and just continue to gain regardless of what I do ...

    Bananas. They're as bad as chocolate to me. You're doing great by realizing the weakness. The 4lbs will come off, I'm positive. Look at where you've been! You can do this again!

        Ok. I have NOT fallen off of the eating wagon! Yeah! I have been drinking at least 64 oz of water per day, too. I used a Fleet two days ago and that did WONDERS for my bloating.

        I weighed in today and I am still the same weight. I feel great because I now know where my stall is. It's the (no carb) mixed drinks. I have been on the diet for a while, so I forgot that my body will burn the alcohol before the fat!

        Am I the only one who has overlooked this?

          I must confess I am a sugar whore (oops, if I'm not supposed to say dirty words). But, when I'm doing the woe girl I'm cool. Its like it takes away my sugar cravings. I just wanted to post to this and not put up a new thread about how evil sugar is. Take Care.


          I LOVE MADEA!!!

            I will not touch any processed sugar with a ten foot pole for any reason. I will not keep it in my house or buy it in the grocery store. If I have it in my home I WILL binge on it so I just dont buy it. I can (could in the past) go through a whole half gallon of ice cream or a couple of bags of dove chocolates in an afternoon. I may even opt to never re-introduce ANY "real" sugar containing foods and may just stick with legal alternatives for sweets....sugar is indeed evil.
