Trying again, sigh ...
I have the sugar monkey on my back also... I hate I added sugar back into my diet. Fortunately, I haven't gained but know it will happen if I continue. I know I really need to do something, I am out of control and it's not a good feeling. Every night I say no junk for me tomorrow, but continue to eat the crap...
Thanks so much, everyone, for your support. I'm doing better than I expected and haven't had any sweets since Monday. There is a little bit of sugar in my salad dressing and peanut butter, but not much. I was planning to forego even artificial sweeteners, but I have had some stevia in my tea and a diet lemonade from Chick-fil-A after choir last night.
The catalyst on Monday for ditching the junk was seeing my eating disorders counselor lady. She gave me what-for, and we agreed that these twenty pounds could progress to gaining all my weight back if I didn't stop the garbage. We also agreed that the insanity running around in my brain is a direct result of the sugar coursing through my body. I had such peace when I was off the junk.
Here I come again!

This may be a little TMI-ish, but one thing that has really helped me lately has been to get some Ketostix and pee on one every morning and night to make sure I am keeping my carbs low enough. If I want those sticks to turn pink, I can't afford to have sugar in my diet! Plus it's a great little NSV every time I can make the "pee sticks" change color!
Oh jiminy, I have to play for a funeral today! (I'm a church organist.) Does Pigstock meet every year? Please keep me up to date on it, cuz Buddy Pig and I would love to come!
And yes, I could really use some piggy and human loving, sigh. This has been a stinker of a past few weeks. Boss (Dictator) and I had a huge row, and things are extremely frosty ... and tense beyond description. AARRGGHH! I hate conflict!!
Say hi to some piggies for me, and look for me next time!
I love your guts, BL
