Weight Loss

I  had to laugh at myself today.
Right after I ate a couple of huge handfuls of chocolate chips I told myself it was time to get back on the weight loss bandwagon. Of course I was still feeling the sugar rush and felt sure I was ready to tackle the weight problem again..... But you know the minute the sugar rush wears off I am looking for a fix again. I have read a TON of books on how addictive sugar is and I still fall into its trap! I HATE myself when I turn to sugar to fix my problems, it is a quick fix that just comes back to haunt you. I have been here before so many times and I KNOW how much better I feel when I am not addicted to sugar. Last summer I would go to the fridge and grab out cherry tomatoes as a snack and they would taste so sweet to me but once your back onto sugar nothing tastes as good a things sweetened with sugar.
I am reading "Eat To Live" by Joel Fuhrman, As I have said I have read a ton of books on the subject and am always looking to read and learn more info. I'll let you know what I think of this book when I get into it more.
I weighed myself this morning and I am at about 136 pounds now and gaining every day it seems. I was so nervous about my daughters doctors appointment I was tossing down the chocolate chips left and right. Her blood work all came back just great! So now I need to stop worrying about that and pull the boot straps back up and get the weight off AGAIN.
My daughter has mentioned she would like to get walking again like we used to I am hoping to start that this week. I also have an almost whole bag of chocolate chips staring at me every time I open the fridge door that I need to hide from myself : )
I find it so strange how as humans we can know something (like how good you feel when you eat right and are at a good weight) but we still do things to ruin it for ourselves. Why do we do that?????? I swore when I had lost the weight and felt the best I have ever felt that I would NEVER let myself get back to my old self again!!!!!
Need to pull up the boot straps and get back on the bandwagon!!!!!

Until Next Time - God Bless!!
