I drooled, I caressed, I fantasized, but I didn't put out....

any money on sugar!!  Get your minds out of the gutter pervs!

I have been sick most of the week (I will have to personally thank Shauna for that since I am pretty sure I got it from her last weekend!).....so, my plans last night after work were to come home and veg all night.  Instead, I decided to make a "quick" trip to Trader Joes.  It would have been quick if I hadn't got caught up in the cookie and frozen treats isle.  Good God people!!  They have the YUMMIEST looking things every!  Never go in there when you are PMSing....Everything looked good....I read every box, every container, every sugar and fat gram....every calorie (wow...people really eat that many calories in ONE items???)....i oogled the ice cream, drooled over the cookies,  fingered the baked goods....I don't even like sweet stuff that much....To make it worse, I was talking to myself...OUT LOUD...."sugar is bad!"  "Sugar is the devil!" "NO NO NO!!"  "Bad!! BAD!!!" "step away from the sugar!" all while wiping drool off my chin...I think people were expecting my head to start spinning. 

I am proud to say...I walked out of there without buying a single sugar filled item!!!  I also hit Giant and again, walked out without buying any sugar.  I told my therapist about it this morning...I asked him why I was being so obsessive...he said I wasn't obsessing...I was torturing myself!   I really feel bad for the people that don't have food issues...they must lead really boring lives

Ok...I have to go back to bed....this cold or flu or what ever I have is still kicking my butt....

HG

Why DO we torture ourselves like that. I also have days like that!!!  Most of the time, though, I walk through those isles or areas with my head turned the other way and try to think of what the fat and lard and such look like before it's mixed into the yummy stuff!  I have a few other "imaginings" that help me avoid them, too, but they are a bit too unappetising to share!!!  Whatever works, right?  LOL

whatever works is right! 

LMAO!!!  I'm sorry, Heather, but your posts are hysterical.  Though, I know how hard it is for you with the sugar, you're doing a great job staying  away from it.  Keep it up!!!

Why is something I really don't like that much, such a struggle for me?  Actually, I know what it is...It's the "I can't have it, so I want it" mentality.

lol...I went there last night too.....I only went to first base.

"I only went to first base." 

snort... that made me laugh sooo much!

It made my therapist laugh too...I think he keeps me around for the amusement factor....

You have such a way with words.  Speaking of which...you were the topic of conversation at one point last night - we were all commenting on how you can always make us laugh how you always know what to say and HOW to say it...and if we are ever feeling down, we can talk to you or read one of your posts and now we're not down anymore. 

Good for you for not buying any of the devil items!
