This one needs a revisit  — 2 years ago

For one week..until my birthday…no cake, icecream, chocoloate, cookies, muffins, mentos, or other processed sugar crap. Period.

Up and down..  — 2 years ago

The less I eat, the better I feel, the better I feel, the more a slight dip in the mood makes me nervous then I start eating sugar again. A friend told me that the teeth of human skeletons from thousands of years back had no cavities because we did not eat sugar back then…hmmmmm. We don’t really NEED sugar, do we?

Now that the holiday season is over...  — 2 years ago

I can try the sugaring-off and sugaring-on days again. I’ve got myself a little agenda book this time!

My goal for the week  — 2 years ago

is to only eat sugar treats on Christmas day.

Lost track of sugaring-off days..  — 2 years ago

and every day for the past ??? days has been a sugaring-on day. I have to stay out of cafés and malls when I’m hungry..and eat more salad!

Uh-oh..it's going to be a difficult week..  — 2 years ago

with that carton of “Limited Edition Baileys Irish Cream flavoured Hagen Daaz” in the freezer.

Bread and jam  — 2 years ago

How come my sugar cravings can’t be satisfied with bread and jam? How come I have to have a cookie or many cookies to fulfill my sugar desires?

I should include carbs in this category..  — 2 years ago

but I do workout most days, so I probably need all the yummy, satisfying carbs. Really, I’m not enough of a carnivore to do the Atkins or South Beach diet.

Serious sugar craving!!!  — 2 years ago

I have to study so of course I feel nervous and I just saw an advertisement with cookies in it!! I so want a cookie now…no, I want every kind of cookie you find in the Peak Freans Assorted Creme pack: chewy apricot-centre, chocolate creme, digestive, vanilla creme and the other one whatever it is!!! I also want a Toblerone chocolate bar like the one I saw six times on TV when I wasn’t supposed to be watching…Or just a plain old milk chocolate Hershey bar that will slowly melt in my mouth…or even some gummi bears, nibs, fruit mentos, or SKITTLES – the stick-to-your-teeth sour sugary ones that I can organise into groups of different colours so I can one-by-one eat a different colour each time. Aaaaah, that feels better. I think the craving is gone. Now to the books….

I so want that Oreo Cookie Ice cream bar right now!!!!  — 2 years ago

Emotional eating attack on the way! I’ll try an orange and see if the more damaging craving goes away.
