I have been having a conversation with my cousin about the whole sugar thing, and how she's tried to stay away from it. But for her it's hard, because of the fact that she is 5 months pregnant (gonna be an "auntie" in November!! AAAHHH! so excited!
) Having talked to her about the whole thing has got me thinking about when I first started WW last February, and how in my first week, I lost 4 lbs. I think the reason why I did so well was because I stayed away from the processed foods, only having the WW and Lean Cuisine meals once or twice a week, having salads every day with light Italian dressing, and not having too many sweets. This passed Monday morning I weighed in and maintained my weight, which isn't bad considering how I've been doing.
Right now my weakness is ice cream, and I've been wanting it every single night for a while now. I could buy a reduced fat version (which is what I normally lean towards), and stick to the 1/2 cup serving they allow you to have. But seriously, who can eat just a 1/2 cup of ice cream? NOT ME!! It's been very hard to break that habit. But, I have to say that altho I really wanted it tonight, I haven't eaten anything since dinner, which is not normal for me.
The other problem with the sugar thing is I AM ADDICTED TO CHOCOLATE! Let's just put it this way, I have a bag of Lindor Truffles in my desk at work, and whenever I need a pick-me-up, I'll only allow myself 1 of those things. I honestly cannot remember the last time I reached into that bag and scarfed one down. I want to continue to keep it that way. I'm not looking forward to weigh in on Monday, and I'm debating if I actually want to do it or not. I'm thinking about skipping it this week, cus I'm afraid I'll freak out if I see what those numbers are.
But I guess I'll never make my goal if I keep eating the way I have been, so I need to buckle down and get it done!
