Well hopefully eureka..

I think I am discovering a major trigger for my binges. SUGAR. EVIL SUGAR. Yesterday I was eating well..good portions- lots of veggies and healthy stuff. Then I had a few points left and I decided I really wanted a bowl of oatmeal. So I had one of my roommates maple and brown sugar oatmeal packets- instead of making a bowl of the real stuff. CRAZY. I literally went crazy and ate all night until I couldn’t move.

Not only did it set me off on a binge- but it made my thinking sooo soo insane. I was depressed and illogical in every way possible. I am so happy I went to sleep right after so I could wake up with a new perspective. I have a sweet tooth more than anything else- but after my episode last night, I am literally afraid to eat sugar again. I printed out a list of foods that are good to eat if you are trying to avoid sugar so I think I will incorporate that into my weight watchers plan. I feel relieved to hopefully be finding a way to escape my binging!

Does anyone else notice they are more sensitive to sugar? I’m wondering if I should also avoid artificial sweeteners..do they have the same effect? I’m not going to cut out fruit- because I love fruit! I am going to try to avoid bananas- even though I love them. Well, here is hoping that this will be a good day 1 of being BINGE FREE!
