Whew!  It has been a busy couple of days for me and it is only going to get worse!  Good news is my cravings are finally backing off!  I thought I was going insane for like a couple of weeks and I couldn’t tell if it was just me having a bout of depression related eating…or my weird hormones…or my medication…  I still don’t know, but what I do know is this…the candy bar cravings have backed off and I have doing pretty well since last Thursday.  It was almost like having someone else in charge of my body there for awhile, it is the eeriest feeling.  Part of me was screaming…”What are you doing????!!!” but the part that had control just kept on and didn’t even slow down!   I was walking into the store and even though I had a ton of candy already 3 or 4 more bars would show up in my basket!  It was insane!  TOM showed up on Thursday and with it…my sanity…  Today I went grocery shopping with DH and DD and feel a bit tempted by anything…  This morning I weighed in at 162.5 again as well…  I feel lucky…after everything that I ate last week it is a miracle. 

I have been doing a lot of reading on Ayurvedic medicine… I am definitely what they call Kapha dominant…Earth and Water energy…and basically I believe that means that I will have these tendencies towards sugar.  Things that increase Kapha are all my favorite things…sweets…starches… There is of course more to it than that but I am just beginning to explore and you have to start somewhere!
