For I fear that if they were, I might not be such a faithful wife!
Here I am in week 12 of Atkins just thrilled to death that I am doing so well and I really haven't had any cravings etc. for sweets. I am one of those women who can down a 2lb bag of Hershey Kisses and not feel sick - nor would I be locked in the bathroom for hours. So far I have conquered every intense temptation (and there have only been 2 in 12 weeks). In August my sister asked me to cut her son's 1st birthday cake and after 2 slices, my mouth was watering so bad I passed to knife to someone else. The 2nd temptation was almost the same - chocolate again!
Well, last night my 15 month old was screaming because the 7 yr old had a Yodel after dinner. DH gave one to the baby in her highchair and she messed with it a bit, but really didn't eat any of it. He took her up to the shower while I cleaned up the kitchen. I left the Yodel on the highchair tray because again - the choc makes my mouth water - it's unbelievable!!!! 45 min. later I go to check on him and realize he fell asleep (without coming back to clean the tray). So what do I do? I can't bear to throw out such a nice treat...and I took a bite of the half she had left intact. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY???
I didn't need it, I wasn't hungry, It didn't even taste good - the actually taste was NO WHERE NEAR what I remember as a kid them tasting like. It was a very fake cake taste and I WAS MAD Then I felt ashamed and so angry with myself. Now I can no longer say I haven't had any sugar in "X weeks". Today I woke up and said a prayer and just pressed forward on this WOE. I just can't believe I did it when there was no reason to. I am so glad we are doing the Thanksgiving Challenge!
