L-N,
This is my first time visiting this area of PB and I really appreciated your last post. I totally resonated with the running for carbs and sweets. My Achilles heel. And I am a sneak eater. I love the challenge of trying to eat my treats covertly. I am a sugar junkie. The thought of going cold turkey and not having some kind of sugar substance in my life sends me into
a frenzy of head shaking and wanting to run screaming.My favorites are Strawberry twizzlers and Smarties. I promise myself NOT to buy anymore. If they aren't in the house I can't eat them. A piece of fruit does NOT take away cravings for me. All sugar is NOT created equal! In fact if I eat fruit it triggers the need for a "treat".
I quit drinking and doing "recreational" drugs and smoking 17 years ago. (The thought of spending anaother night in jail helped motivate that change) Did my sugar habit simply replace those because I need some addiction to be a part of my life? Sometimes I hate myself so much because I feel like I can't control my actions and am a weak person. Yet I have no problems criticizing others who do the same as me.
Oh well.....thanks for stimulating me into writing. Journaling is not something I do on a regular basis. Come to think of it being consistent on doing positive things on a regular basis is not my strong point. Procrastinating and taking the easy way out are.
Good luck on your journey through life.
