  • Shall I confess?

    Yesterday, on Mother's Day, we went to a local ice cream place and I had a sundae...I wasn't going to, all the way there in the car I was telling myself I wasn't having anything, and then I ordered anyways Pineapple and cherries were also involved.

    But guess what....I experienced such a physical and emotional change that I don't want to eat sugar ever again. Within an hour I was feeling so down and depressed, and then I was moody, up and down, and almost wanting to cry. I felt like that a lot the past 4 years, which is why I was taking celexa, and since starting back on Atkins on Mar 16, I weaned off.

    I wasn't depressed, it was the sugar! And I've always known that if I eat too much sugar, I get a little crazy, but even the amount that I had in that one sundae was enough to trigger a meltdown in me.

    Never again. Oh it tasted good but I'll make my own sugar free ice cream from now on...or maybe start a petition to get them to make sugar free as well

    We always feel bad when we stray but the lessons we learn in the process are sometimes worth it. Sounds like this definitely turned on a light bulb for you. Wow, what a revelation to think you have been depressed and discover it was that nasty white stuff all this time.

    It's not about the results. Its about the process.

      Yay! Happy to hear you didn't slip further into Sugar Land and you also learned something from this cheat.

        I actually didn't even feel bad about having the ice cream! I enjoyed it, it was a nice treat, a sunny day and my whole family was there, even the dog

        I always said sugar was like crack to me. It is nasty!

          G - I wasn't even worried about slipping away, I've been feeling too good about myself and I *knew* it was a one-time deal. What a revelation! I'm very happy it happened, now I know for sure.

          The headache I have this morning though!!! Food hangover....definitely worse than the alcohol kind for me (I guess because I never drink enough to get a hangover!)
