Does anyone even read this part of my blog anymore? And if so, why ;o)
I've been eating really well lately. I've lost about 5 lbs, I haven't felt deprived, so I guess I'm in the honeymoon. Then today my finances are scaring the crap out of me (why did I decide to be a SAHM?) and I need some SUGAR. I try delaying, I try seeing if there are any healthy substitutes that would do in a pinch. No. Must have sugar. Now I do not want to eat very much, because crikey I'm a 3itch when I eat it. So I get one of those mini packs of Nutter Butters. Yes this is what I really want. I have about 2/3 of the package-- 20=280 calories. Not disastrous, but not what was in my best interest either.
How do normal people deal with this? I used to think they didn't get cravings or look to food for comfort. Now I realize they do, but I don't know what it is exactly that they do. What do you do when you need to find solace in food. I know it's wrong and unhealthy, but I don't think I'm going to be able to be completely free of it. So what do I do in a situation like this, where the only thing that's really going to foot the bill is food.
Well, I don't know the answer, but if you find out let me know too! I still read this part of your blog! I like it, sometimes I think I should separate the food stuff into a different section of my own blog...but then I wouldn't have much else to write about.

I started reading this part of your blog first. You don't up date it very often so i switched over to checking the "other side of your blog" every day.
yes, yours is the blog i use to start the day.
BAck in the 90's there was a book out called "sugar busters" basically you cut out all sugar and gradually add it back end, paying attention to how you feel along the way.
it helped me determine how much sugar i could eat in one day and not turn into a witch.

I have figured out that when I am doing well, if I am not being compulsive about letting the sugar in my diet it helps a lot. Sort of like if you plan it in your day it is OK. BUT if it is just something that comes up, there is probably another reason for the hunger.
Good luck sorting it out. It sucks!
hugs!
