Another batch of holiday cookies and candy has arrived. Ugghh! I mindlessly started to eat a piece of candy as soon as I saw it, chewed it up a little, realized what I was doing, then spit it out before swallowing all those sugar and fat calories!! As long as I don't see it, I don't even think about it. But when I SEE enemy foods I automatically want them!! Crap! Now my wacky addicted brain is going to obsess about the goodies in the staff room ALL day long, now that I know they are there. This is perhaps my biggest food challenge. How does one turn off the lusting brain and stop it from obsessing over sugar???? I did eat candy yesterday, so the relapse has me craving more!!!! Now I gotta wait three days for the craving to subside. I'm so screwed with this holiday season!! So hard to stay on task. But dammit, one day at a time, right!? For me, it's also one candy-laden
staff room visit at a time!!
