Wow. I've had a rough few days. I lost an avg. of 2 lbs. the first week and felt GREAT!! My 2nd week started out good and ended on a horrid note of carb addiction return. Why? Because I let my hormonal body taste what I thought it needed, when really it was not what I needed at all. And once the taste came, the demons came back with ALL THEIR FRIENDS and I invited them in and gave them a place to hang out for awhile. Disgusting, isn't it?? I did not gain weight, but I did not lose, and more importantly, my lifestyle was not pleasing.
UGH. I hate the feeling after an addiction is fed. I have heart burn. I puke up in my mouth at night. My stomach is bloated. I am sleepier than normal. I am grumpier. My chest feels heavy. My throat feels full. I hate everything about it. I know my insulin is not being absorbed properly. I know the dangers. I've read it over and over and heard it straight from the Doctor's mouth. But when I am craving the foods that harm me, I seem to not care.
That's not really the truth. I do care. I care so much that I even have cried while the very danger passes my lips and goes down my throat.
One problem I have had this week is the grocery money was very tight, and I did not buy all the fresh veggies that I had the first week. BIG difference in how I ate. It was much better when I filled up with salad first off,and then enjoyed my protein. Mike got paid for an extra job and tomorrow, I head to the produce section!
Lord, you've shown me there is nothing good in eating foods that harm me. Nothing. Tomorrow is a new day and because of you, I can leave this day for what it is, and look forward to the new day of good things.
Keep your focus Cip. Veggies and protein..veggies and protein. You can do it!!!

Your Father in heaven is not disgusted at all with you! And I don't think it's disgusting either. You are refreshingly honest and you were able to see the physical differences very clearly which, in my opinion, is worth the mess-up. You've got people rooting for you... and praying for you.
ReplyDeleteHang in there Cip. You can do it. Sometimes we do fall off the horse but our Heavenly Father is there to help us to get back up and try again. I'm in the same boat you are. I'm cheering for you.
