Really SUGAR??!

I don't know what happened, but on Sunday night a sugar switch must have flipped on because I've eaten more sugar in the past 5 days than I have this entire year. I've been doing so good...just 4 lbs. from my goal weight. And then I ate a Valentine cookie on Sunday. And then I ate another one. And maybe one more. And these are BIG V-day cookies...bigger than the palm of my hand with yummy cinnamon candy icing.


Then on Monday it was a lady's birthday at work so I had to have a piece of turtle cheesecake. And then that night was my friend, Morgiana's birthday and she made home-made angel food cake with a delightful berry mix to put on top. It was wonderful.


Then on Tuesday a drug rep at work brought in a box of dark chocolate covered nut clusters from Caffe' Chocolat just up the street. They were amazing. I've purposely avoided that store because I knew I would love it. I resisted the home-made chocolate cake that Vic, the nurse practitioner, brought in for us....go self control, haha.


Let's see Wednesday...a patient that loves us brought us donuts...I had a chocolate covered glazed donut. Oh yes and another drug rep brought more dark chocolates. I had a few. And then BEFORE dinner George and I went on a walk and ate chocolate ice cream cones. It was fun and cold.


And today is Thursday. I still love sugar. I must find that sugar switch and turn it back off. I'm out of control. I had the last valentine cookie. And only one dark chocolate at work :) Oh and chocolate milk for lunch.



Anyway I think I'm done with the sugar for a little bit, even though my body is telling me I want more. I wouldn't want to become diabetic and I know it's probably not the best time to say good-bye to sugar right before Valentine's Day, but oh well, sometimes you have to moderate at inconvenient times. I will get to you goal weight!

Okay Carter... really?!? I LOVE how you have your cravings all times out. I wouldn't expect anything else from you. Of course you do... and you probably have carrots on hand right when those minutes hit so you don't eat sugar. Lizi poo... I love you! You're my suga sista! Hey... treat yourself for being so close to your goal weight. Indulge in the sugar month of lovers and be better next time. I love you!

I suffer from the sugar syndrome too. It is the death of me! I have a cruise coming up in April and I'm pretty sure I just ate 2 "fun size" snickers for breakfast...
