Sugar Blues

I have this extreme desire for sugar when I am stressed out. I is especially bad when I am stressed out at work. I will be having a really stressful day at work, like a load I can't handle, or I lose some paperwork on the piles of paperwork on my desk, or someone just grates my nerves and I will hear my inner voice say, "You are stopping at the store on the way home and getting ice cream." Or maybe I would rather have cake or cookies. Mostly it is Blue Bell ice cream. I could eat a half gallon in one evening easy.

Now normally when this happens I don't even stop at the grocery store that day. I just drive right by and go home and feel cheated out of the ice cream. I try to tell myself that it isn't worth it to eat the ice cream, that is doesn't even taste that good. But I know that is a lie at least the part about it not tasting that good. It is good!!!

I think it is a shame we don't burn up some calories because we bypass some of the bad things we eat. But, it just doesn't work that way.

I have been good lately and I am still stuck with my weight loss. I need 10 pounds off soon or I am going to get discouraged. But when I walk around I feel so good. My legs are strong and I don't get out of breath and never have to take a asthma medication any more. So I guess passing up the store and not buying the ice cream is worth it.
