My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

I decided to cut my hair... LOL I am not used to it yet, but I am trying to accept it. LOL I had long long hair for so long. But it was taking so long to grow back, so I decided to cut a few inches off. Thanks for noticing the new picture! For some reason, I still see the old photo as my Avitar.

Oh man, I feel your pain, although since I know I dump horribly that is the one thing that keeps my hands out of all the goodies rolling into the office right now - well, that and the sugar-free stash I keep at my desk, and thankfully one piece of that is enough to stave off cravings.
This is how bad it got for me - yesterday the dreaded Godiva dipped biscotti came into the office - my true achilles heel at this time of year, but I knew I couldn't so I just stayed away. Last night we watched a Bobby Flay throwdown on 'Bouche de Noel' - or yule log cakes, and they kept showing one with chocolate cake and chocolate icing - my old nemesis.
Well last night while sleeping I started dreamed that I was going around a big circle in my office and every time I went thru the kitchen people were trying to grab me and shove chocolate cake down my throat, and I kept screaming NOOOOO - on the third time around someone caught me and I started fighting back - OMG my little dog suddenly yelped and jumped up out of my hand - I HAD GRABBED MY LITTLE BABY AND WAS SQUEEZING HIM THINKING IT WAS THE PERSON TRYING TO SHOVE CAKE DOWN MY THROAT!! OMG Heather I felt so horrible - it even woke my husband up and he said 'what the hell happened' - and I told him as I sat rocking my little Jude and saying 'I'm sorry' over and over again. He kissed me and forgave me and laid back down and went to sleep, but I felt like an absolute ogre!!
And looking back at it now and your situation I guess I can be damn glad I don't own dogs as big as yours or I might have gotten more than a yelp out of it!!
So the sugar demons are in my head, too - thankfully so far NOT in my mouth!!
Hang in there - we'll all get thru these holidays together.

ROFL. As always, posted in such a way to make everyone pee their pants laughing. My binge yesterday was on these high protein cheese crackers. I finally grabbed the package and RAN outside to the garbage can and emptied them into it. And then shook the can because if I don't they will still be "clean" and I'd jump in and get them. And eat them. NEVER buying them again. DEFINITELY a trigger food for me. Just that brand. Just that type. SO GOOD GIRL. THROW IT ALL OUT. Then urinate on it all.
P.S. I am doing some reading on aspartame and splenda and they can have the potential to make people "crave" - more food and more sugar. It figures. I told my therapist last night I should probably just eat dirt.
ROFL
P.S.S. Oh and I agree with Nicole and think Nicole has a good point. My therapist said the same thing to me last night about my binge. It's self-injuring behavior - I do it to some degree to hurt myself. Great. Another thing to work on.
