Sugar is my worst enemy.Jul 05 2009 14:29
I'm serious. I was doing really well for two weeks not eating any sugar, not even bread or fruit. Then for some reason I started allowing myself a couple sweets here and there. A bag of famous amos cookies in the studio, an ice cream cone for dessert, a piece of that birthday cake. Then.... what the hell? I couldn't stop myself. Yesterday was a complete sugar binge. I was starving after having been deprived of food at the beach for a few hours and so when I got to the free buffet at the party I pigged out on ribs, chicken, mac and cheese, salad and then a huge ass piece of cake. Then i stole a couple bites of my dad's cake. Then on the walk home we stopped for klondike bars. Then I had a stuffed shell. What the fuck? That's no way to treat my body.
Plus.... i noticed that when I was off sugar I was feeling amazing. I could jump right out of bed and go to the gym. I didn't need naps. My head felt clear and I felt alive and happy. My overall health just felt awesome. Not to mention I lost like.... 8 pounds. I could see it just shedding off of me. Then..... I started allowing myself the sweets for some unexplainable reason (i think i had one bad night and then from there on i couldn't resist) and I just feel absolutely miserable. I'm so tired. I can't get myself out of bed in the mornings. I feel like i want to nap all day long. I feel groggy and nasty and not to mention I think it's given me an instant yeast infection. Which drives me nuts. And it's all been making me really cranky and bitchy and I've been picking fights and having a poor attitude and I may have completely screwed up my relationship, if you can call it one.
Can't i be smart and realize that sugar is my worst enemy? It is evil and I need to stay away from it. There's evidence.
LOL, you are not the only one! I had a little sugar binge this weekend also. I was on a roll with staying away from the "enemy" but then decided that I had to have some stupid Edy's drumstick ice cream and I ate a little over 1/2 a pint of that...then I went out to eat and had 2 big pieces of pizza followed by tiramisu drizzled with lots of chocolate syrup, not sure why I found that necessary at all! I had also felt awesome prior to this little sugar crazed binge! That's funny, I didn't really make the connection of the sugar and the cranky/bitchy behavior that I had afterwards but I pretty much did the same thing with my boyfriend Well hopefully we can both realize now that it isn't worth it and stick to healthier options...weekends are always hard for me though....I have no self-control |
Yikes!
How often should you eat during the day?
It is neither necessary to eat every two hours nor to stop eating at 6:00 PM. As long as your calorie intake is less than your output... Read more
