Love Halloween, but it sure can throw a girl right back in to her bad habits.

| Halloween party - where it all started to go wrong. |
Now I know that this crap is making me feel bad. I've been all self aware lately and realized that every time I eat sugar I end up with a wicked low that involves the feeling of tears and being down and depressed. And I know that every time I eat sugar, I just create another sugar craving in me. But it's like I'm on the crazy train and I can't get off.
Tonight I'm jumping though. I've got a yam in the oven, cut up and sprinkled with lots of good stuff, like basil and oregano and some garlic. Just smelling real food is lifting my spirits. I just might make it off in one piece.
How do you bounce back when your eating or good habits go off course?
Same here! I would never eat 2+ candy bars in the same day yet eating 47 finger size candies I steal from my kids bags seems perfectly normal. Felt like crap today and finally took the leftover candy from the 2 year old and 4 year old bags and dumped it. 8 and 10 year old were smart enough to hide theirs. Where is my self control?
ReplyDeleteHa, ha...loved this sentence..."I've been all self aware lately," so cute!! Being self aware is so much work and sometimes, keeps me from the fun stuff like eating CANDY!!
ReplyDeleteSo, how DOES candy taste when dipped in cheese?? :) I just went through a sort of "mini detox" where I had no sweets or soda for a week. it got my body back on track. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteFirst Halloween that I didn't gorge myself on candy. I'm pretty proud of myself. But when I do find myself going to the dark side, I will usually fix a big vegetarian stir fry and get a good long workout in. The next day, my muscles will be sore which is a reminder to eat better.
