    Dancing with the Devil

    Hello Friends,



    Well I was out dancing with the devil (sugar) all weekend. I am exhausted. I picked up and was dishonest with my food choices. I am sorry that I let myself down. I am sorry that I wasted 3 more precious days of my life with the carbs. I am sorry that I am such a liar around the food. Today, is not going to be a day filled with little white lies around the food. Today my food choices will be induction food choices. I see that there is no such thing as one bite for me. 1 is to many and 1000 are not enough
    Hugs,
    Linda

        My husband and I decided to go to the coast. Everytime we go away to do something fun over the weekend, it always seems to spell disaster for me. In my mind, I get excited at the prospect of being able to eat all my binge foods. In my mind, going away to the coast equals food that I don't normally get to eat. All you can eat buffets, pizza, icecream, all my comfort foods=good time. I was not specifically craving anything, rather than just repeating old ways. It is time that I stop using food for recreation. That is one of the hardest things for me to overcome. I get excited just thinking about going out on the weekends and all the food associated with that excursion. I don't look at the part of just getting away to have fun with my husband minus the food. Does that make sense? I feel high and excited by the thought of eating xyz....how sad is that?
        Hugs,
        Linda

          I think everyone has been there...I know I have. But you can break that mindset. Buffets are ok if you stick to the new WOE. This is a challenge but I know you can do it. Hang in there! Hugs

            I know I can do it if I stop lying to myself and stop looking the other way. Always putting off until tomorrow. Always lying to myself, next time will be different. It is never different. I always hurt me. I am the one who has to walk around so heavy and miserable. I don't understand why I am willing to repeat the behaviour over and over again in spite of how much physical pain I experience. I never crave anything that is not either flour, grains or sugar.

            I never say, oh boy, what I would do for a big juicy steak! When I go off program it has no green veggies on it and minimal protein. Usually pizza, or icecream, cookies. All sugar, sugar and more sugar. UGH!!!!

              Linda...Sugar is addiction is hard to break... You need to take one day at a time.. Sit down and plan for that day.. Then towards the end of that day plan for the next day..

              One of my favorite treats is to take some cream cheese add a packed of splenda and nuke it in the microwave to make it creamy..that usually takes care of the urge..

              Start off your day with some scrambled eggs..and some No Sugar bacon.. Have lunch with some kind of meat and a veggie..

              You can do this..but you have to WANT It.... We can't make you.. We are here to support you. If you have a weekend away coming up..Tell us what the restaurants have...or if they are popular restaurants we can help you eat right..

              I went to Golden Corral today for lunch I asked for NO rolls.. Had Roast...Cabbage..Green Beans..and Chicken...

                  Linda.. does the SouthWestern Egg Beaters have veggies in it? You need some veggies.. Personally I would ditch the Egg Beaters and eat REAL eggs.. Everytime I think of Egg Beaters I think of Weight Watchers.. Honestly I have never had them so I don't know if they are okay.. Are you full on just eating a cup of eggs?

                  For lunch...fix a salad..and throw that Tuna on top..

                  For your weight ...You have got to be hungry..

                  What did you end up eating for dinner last night?

                    Linda.....if at all possible try to avoid dangerous food situations (like the weekend away) for a couple weeks until you can get through a clean induction and the ketosis process kicks in to help you with the sugar cravings.

                    You can do this..but you have to WANT It.... We can't make you.. We are here to support you.
                    This is what it comes down to.....

                    I read your post from June 1st....I believe these were the words of someone who truely desires change so its time to start again....and as many times as needed until the roots of that change take hold.

                    On a "twilight zone" note.....your post from june 1st was time stamped 11:11....I've read that many people believe that there is a synchronicity between the time 11:11 (a.m. or p.m.) or the number 1,111 and the events in a person's life, especially involving change and awakening.

                    So you see, you're timing is perfect

                    Best of luck to you on you're journey to health!
