Accountability - Friday!

Happy Friday! I didn't have any change to get my normal decaf on my lunch break so I used one of my freeby cards at Starbucks for a special sugar free drink. It's not exactly sugar FREE but very low sugar. I think the only sugar in it is from the Vanilla soy milk. In any case, I got a caffeine buzz from it and a brain freeze too..wow Then the carb crash! no wonder I only do this occasionally!

5:30 am 12 oz coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss

6:00 am 1/4 batch protein waffles, 1/2 large apple 1/3 serving sf pancake syrup and butter buds

6:30 am double espresso latte, plain soy milk and splenda mocha

7:00 am 24 oz herb tea, Stash Chocolate Hazelnut

8:30 am 1 oz cheddar cheese, 1 pc turkey ham deli meat

9:00 am 24 oz drink mix with ice, GV Strawberry

10:00 am 1 medium grapefruit raw

10:45 am 24 oz drink mix with ice, Crystal Light Red Tea Mandarin

12:00 pm Venti (16 oz) SF Caramel Soy Frappuccino with a shot of espresso (oh my lord I'm STUFFED and wired from this!) no whipped cream.

1:30 pm 24 oz drink mix with LOTS of ice, GW Strawberry (to help with hot flashes from hell from that Frap!)

2:00 pm 4 oz stewed chicken thigh meat and 1 cup of cooked baby carrots(to get rid of the carb crash!)

2:30 pm 1 hard boiled egg

3:30 pm 24 oz drink mix with ice, GV Mango Pineapple Stevia Sweetened

4:30 pm 24 oz drink mix with ice, Crystal Light Energy Strawberry Caffeinated

6:30 pm tri tip roast beef sandwich made with 1 oz monterey jack cheese and a sandwich thin. I made the ones for the boys out of garlic toast..this served two purposes...fed them and got rid of that evil garlic toast..yah me!

Totals for the day:
Calories: 1554
Fat: 70.4
Carbs: 127.5
Protein: 115.4

Still, since the frappuccino was such a bomb I added all the stats for what I found on fitday..

Carby day..

How did you do? 

More or less I post the total ounces of water and times to show that drinking that much water is possible AND that you can wait to drink a half hour after you're done eating. The eating time is when I finish and the drinking time is when I start..

Not everyone agrees with me but food addictions and sugar/carb addictions are every bit as hard to kick as alcohol (which is basically sugar too) or crack..

My feeling is this: You can't allow the things that you are addicted to back into your *line up*. Alcoholics never have their drug of choice again..crack addicts never have their drug of choice again. I cant' even have certain things in the house at all..I had to search my heart and be totally honest with myself. What I couldn't be trusted with, had to go. I can have a bowl of chocolate candy sitting there (and it's been sitting there since Easter)..no problem at all. I can have cookies all over the house..no problem. But home made chocolate chip cookies? NO..those can never be in the house again..Years ago when I watched my ex-husband give up sugar I saw him go through the DTs and shakes, the sweats..he was sick as a dog for a week all because he gave up sugar..He has since slipped back. Alot of people who have weight loss surgery slip back into their addiction because they haven't addressed the causes. People all over are of the mind that moderation works..it doesn't work in alcoholism or drug abuse so why should it work with food addictions?

This thought is catching on because my vet and I had a talk about it and she goes to FA meetings (like AA meetings but Food Addicts) each monday and invited me. It's the first I've heard of it but I applaud the idea. It's a start!
