I feel like a hormonal teenager…only not with any of that youthful energy.
-Realized something I already know (again): nothing feels more soothing than some high-fat or high-sugar comfort food. Today however, I did NOT give in! I feel like I have been fighting a few battles lately and today I considered that this stupid “diet battle” (for lack of a better title) is probably the only one that strictly speaking; only involves me…there’s no other way around it! I took an hour walk WITH the kids and it was great 
So far, writing down what I am eating is MAJORLY helping me! Last night, my husband got out the Hagan Das ice cream. All I could think about is how great that would taste – but the problem was; I know I would NOT just have one or two spoonfuls. I have done so well on my new healthy diet (hehe…that sounds funny being that it has only been two days!)…but seriously, the last two days I have eaten more healthy than I probably have for years. That was all I needed to think about to say no, and opt for a cut-up cucumber with a little salt. I was totally excited to write down every food I ate, knowing I had now done this for almost THREE SOLID DAYS!
To anyone who is reading this, I do NOT recommend trying on your old jeans at this stage…how depressing! I feel like I am the same width as I was 2 months ago.
I am writing down what I ate tonight and seeing if that helps me ward off sugar. Sugar is something I am totally and completely addicted to (admittedly) and I just read that it causes fat storage and cellulite??? Makes sense. Did you know that sugar was proven to be more addicting than heroin in a study done by John Hopkins University? Did you know that cigarettes have sugar?…hummmm, interesting
