Yep, E, I was just commenting (to YOU, actually) in my journal that eating the light, low glycemic meal and drinking the full bottle of water made me feel so much better than if I'd had the cake, white sandwich croissant things, candy, wine and a few other things they had there ... I was more in control of my emotions (brought back loss of little bro), able to deal with my driving fear (long story on that, but won't go there), able to focus on others instead of self, not sick at stomach ... jeans feel tight today, but no weight gain so dunno ...
However, today is a new day and I started a new journal and challenge for the rest of the Firecracker Challenge period (thanks for findin' me there 'n posting, E ... I answered your question re EDN ... sorta!
). Also posted there about the two books I bought in the health food store about sugar addiction and low glycemic eating.
AND also posted already that I AM OFFICIALLY NOT DOIN' THE WORK I NEED TO GET DONE FOR JOB UNTIL MONDAY! Which means Monday will be h*ll! So be it. I need a sanctuary day.
'N last but not ever least, Ms. A, thanks for the "well-done" ... I really am pleased with last night's choices.
I also remember posting on here (or the journal, one or the other) about a few months ago when I was a basket case re driving and had to do a muckety muck big event thingie and how we stood in the AZ sun for more than an hour and I was so depleted and hungry when I arrived at the luncheon part and instead of eating the wonderful looking sandwiches of very fresh meat, veggies and cheese on big beautiful but white rolls, with NO dressings of any kind, I just ate the vege and part of the meat and cheese and drank a full glass of water and how satisfying that was ... whereas if I'd eaten the white roll (plus the cake they had for dessert, plus a sugary soft drink), I'd have been sick the whole afternoon.
Something to remember!
s to get a grip on, but you'll do 'er!!!
