Day 10 for me.
12 days no sugar
Welllllll…….. I made it 28 days
There is a cookie place here and they have strawberry cups. Fresh strawberries with chocolate and biscoff butter on them. The hubs brought a cup home and it looked so good. I had some bites and holy hell was it good. I didn’t reset. A few days later he went back and got us both a cup. A day after that I had to go to the grocery store and I got a package of biscoff cookies. I told myself I would just have a few… I ate the whole package So I reset
I get it. I reset also. Day 3 today. I chose to enjoy my own baked goods. My family is not participating in any challenge and I don’t expect them to. I made a sound decision to have a piece of pie. I think for me restricting sugar is a helpful tool to keep healthy and heal one’s body. I will admit that I don’t have the urge to binge or have an eating disorder but I can sympathize with those who do. With that said..in the grocery line yesterday I was eyeing the candy bars for sale. I have one maybe a few times a year. I did fight the craving and felt great with the achievement. Just keep working on your overall health and try to make good decisions before you eat.
I honestly can’t remember going on sugar binges like I have done the past few years before. It’s only been a developing problem since I quit alcohol. I have eaten whole packages of cookies and whole small cakes. It almost feels like there isn’t an in between area. The cookies the other day- I had one serving and then I went back and had another and that continued until the package was gone.
I feel you. I can’t have “just” one. I’ll keep going until I even don’t know where I am and how I got there.
