Oh, how awful, TG! I'll send up an extra special prayer tonight for whatever attacked you and your family to be long gone forever! You poor kid.....:hug:
Thanks so much for the thought and prayers, starting to feel normal again..fingers crossed.Hope everyone has a good healthy eating week.
While laying in bed waking up, I was trying to decide IF I actually wanted to get up as I was having regrets about last night ( :redface: )
Those indulgences had left me feeling terrible, bloat-y and disappointed again. But it all tasted so good while we were watching The Dark Knight again ( love that movie), so I vowed to rise and make 2 large pitchers of fresh cut lemon/lime water with a dash of stevia, and sort of cleanse today. Food? who needs food? Laying there I envisioned myself sipping the water after doing my workout. I saw myself tidying and being VERY productive with neglected chores.
So.....20 minutes later I got up, washed all the dishes, cleaned up the whole kitchen, then saw the 2 pkgs of ground beef in the fridge I had bought for DH chili, geez better get that started.
Oops! while reaching for the onions I see those 4 sweet potatoes yearning to be baked up, ok yeah, don't want them spoiling.
Not once did I reach for those lemons and limes or water! Smells started activating my hunger, oh just a wee taste to see if the chili is spicy enough. It was. So I ate a bowl with a half a baked sweet potato for breakfast!!
Oh dear lord I need help!
:lolsign:
Well you know the whole problem with food addiction is we can't just go cold turkey like smoking or alcohol. We unfortunately still need food to survive.

Food as a drug, yup.

I know exactly what you mean Walks. Somehow I seem to think about food , eating it, cooking it or buying it all the time.I think a lot of it is the era I was raised in, that that is my job and how I show my family I care. Keep going, and hey one bowl of chili and and a sweet potato is not such a bad breakfast!!
Last night I caught part of a documentary on the subject of pleasure and pain. The guy was made to eat chocolate until it hurt. lol It's all about dopamine.

Patty and thrifty, thanks. I more than anyone know full well Patty about this dreaded sugar/salt addiction. I have preached to people at work who bring in crap all the time that they are enablers!! It IS worse than drugs for me, well, I do not do drugs, but you know what I mean? Thrifty yes, about the caring for the family, THAT is a huge hurdle to jump. Everyone here is a full grown adult, but I tend to cook for them as if they are youngins. lol
