Big sigh. I have been eating sugar in large quantities for most of the days since my last post. I have gone berserk with that lethal white substance. Sweet sugary dessert foods allow me to escape from dealing with life. Then they become addictive and I crave them even when I no longer want to eat them. I went to the first session of a Mindful Eating group, got on track with my food with enormous relief for 8 days, then headed home for a vacation and went straight back into sugar. My next Mindful Eating group is in 3 days and I hope to fall back into the sugar-free zone again.
By the way, not only have I been eating sugar, but every other food I can get my hands on. I want to disappear into a cave until I can lose these extra pounds of chubbiness.
Sure, that baked brie dripping with honey and smothered with cranberries, blueberries, and toasted walnuts was exquisitely delicious, but couldn't I have enjoyed several bites and then stopped before it disappeared from the plate and reappeared on someone's waistline?
