Sugar is BAD

Thursday, May 24, 2012

I did pretty good this week until today. Not eating cereal was hard. I don't have any really healthy cereal in the house so I wasn't having any. This messed me up because cereal is my "go to" when I am hungry and want to pig out on bad stuff. So this morning I broke down and ate the end of the bag of Special K with red berries.

The day went good until I went to Safeway at 3:00 with out eating lunch first. It is amazing the pull food can have on you when you are hungry. And the games you play with yourself. In the end I won! I left with healthy dinner ingredients, a protein shake with no added sugar, and some kind of curry chicken wrap thing that seemed like it was okay for my goals.

When I write this (and re-read it) it sounds like I should be really proud of myself. I still feel depressed. Like I'm pouting because I still want the gourmet cupcakes...and not just one.

Dinner was good fish tacos. Some liked it and some didn't. Feeding six people isn't easy when I am crabby about sugar. Then I had to serve ice cream my husband bought. I did good while serving it up. I wanted some so bad! I knew if I had a little it would just open the flood gates. I did so good until the very last second. As I was putting the lid on I said to myself, "DO NOT even taste it!" Too late. I stood there and picked out the candy and ribbons of yummys for too long. Well as long as I broke down I might as well try the other one...the chocolate one.

In all reality I should be happy. I probably only ate 1/2 a serving, if that. I am just so worried that I won't loose any weight this week because I messed up. I feel like I wasted all the hard work this week because I gave in.

I am really beating myself up for this. Maybe I'm going to get my period.

    Sugar in and of itself is NOT bad! What is bad is the amount of it hidden in our day to day foods. The closer you can get to preparing things from scratch, the better you can control your sugar intake.

If you truly only had a half serving (1/4 cup) of ice cream, that should have added less than 300 calories to your total for the week, less than 10% of a pound's worth. If you didn't lose, that was not the only reason...

Good luck on cutting out the extra sugars and other calories from your food in the future.

    Well, I'm no fitness expert at the moment but do you think if you had a little bit of sugar during the day it would help. Like not a cupcake but some sweet fruit? How is the challenge going? Are they giving helpful hints? Hope today is better!

  Don't beat yourself up!!!! If you enjoy little pleasures like that once in a while, you're more likely to stick to a healthy way of eating in the lone term.
