Carbaholic

hello my name is Ruth and I'm a carbaholic Once I start eating them, I just cant' stop, even though they make me feel horrid, and yucky with no energy and I'm stupid enough to keep eating them. They are so addictive. So tonight I had a protein shake and am determined to not eat anything else tonight. I even plan to go to bed if I feel like eating. I know once I break the cycle I'll be fine....

I am right there with ya my Dear! I feel exactly the way you do. And I don't dump on things like I wish I would ... at most they make me tired and sluggish but that isn't enough of a bad feeling for me to not want to eat them again! Ugh! I did have a really bad low blood sugar episode the other night after I took a few bites of chocolate cake. Went to bed and woke up and I was sweating from head to toe and I could barely make it out to the kitchen. I guess the cake made my levels dip really bad cuz it was low! Do you still have issues with your blood sugars? I'm not even on any meds anymore so it's weird when this happens! Deanna

I'm off all diabetic meds now too, and most of the time my sugar levels are fine. I too get odd times when it dips really low - I mentioned this in another recent post too. It too happens when I've eaten sugar, so I think my body is releasing too much insulin and is unable to stabalise itself (my theory only!!). It makes me feel horrid, panicky and shakey when it happens - weird, but at least now I know what is going on. When it first started happening I wondered what on earth was going on.

Ruth, I have to say that I am also right with you. I eat Carbs and can't seem to get away from them at times. The worst for me is pizza. I can have 1 slice and the others in the pie seem to keep calling me and calling me. I beleive that I have to start getting active on these boards again.

Hi Babe! Welcome back to the dark side, we've been waiting for you! I still fall asleep when I eat carbs, missed the 2nd-9th inning of the Renegades Game last week due to the carb nap! I also missed Ratatouille completely after seeing it was about a rat I know nothing else! You'd think that would make me go HMMMM perhaps i'd like to stay away from the carbs, but really it doesn't. ANDI

I am addicted to them, most of the time I stay away.. but it is a constant struggle.... I try and keep them away as much a possible.... I dump and that helps... but still, I eat them from time to time...
