AARRRGH I am really fighting it hard today - both for Al and for food (SUGAR!). Sheesh - when your mind is having a constant debate with itself and with your body, it's really hard to get anything done!
I had to go to Wally World for some things for this weekend and did a little dance with the liquor aisle - walked past and looked down and kept going, went in on the non-al beverage side and was blocked and turned around, went and got other stuff and came back and stood there and finally left.
I had all those coversations with myself - yes just a little, no you need to build up AF days again, yes, just one, no you and hubby just got through an argument over Al dont' start again, yes, no, yes, no. Thank goodness no won . . . though yes tried to convince no to stop at the package store for just a little bottle. No won again. For now.
But it's sugar too - man I could eat an entire box of chocolates or a cake or anything sweet and gooey and yummy.
I have been trying to get those out of my mind when they have occured before with strong flavors - salty peanuts or pistachios, pickles, jalepeno stuffed olives. Sometimes I've resorted to drinking a swig of the olive or pickle juice - that strong flavor makes the sweet craving go away. I may have to drink a gallon of pickles juice today the way I'm going.
Anyone else struggling today?
