 Re: Atkins old-timer
| When I made the final decision to break loose from sugar and go back to Atkins, I felt such a huge sense of relief, like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Eating sugar via chocolate, donuts, etc... always made me feel guilty and disgusting, even though it all tasted so good. Once I had made up my mind, it was easy to stop eating the wrong things. The day before I started Induction, I was at the grocery store buying protien products and I walked by the deli and saw my FAVORITE thing - a Scotcheroo made with DARK chocolate. My body started to pull me over to pick one up, but my brain said, "keep going straight".. and I did. That was a huge hurdle for me to get over. I never realized until just recently, how often I would buy something sweet at the grocery store to eat in the car on the way home. A scotcheroo, a donut, a bag of dark chocolate M&M's, etc... I guess my subconscious figured it didn't count in my diet since it never made it from point A to point B. Now I just have to stay on this and get back to my normal weight. Thank heavens I don't like pastas or bread, so I only have one food group to battle. When I do get back to a decent weight, I have to come up with a strategy whereas I can enjoy a sweet ONCE IN AWHILE without jumping off the wagon. I don't ever want to do that again! It's misery....every day....depressing....sugar is a drug I think. | |
