So with last week being "that time of the month" it got harder to control my sugar cravings. I gave in a little, then a little more and more. Still better than my usual, but I really didn't try to work through the cravings and just gave in to them.
Then yesterday happened. I went to the grocery store, they were baking chocolate chip cookies. Then they were putting out bags of these freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. All for only $2.99. How is a fat chick to resist? I mean, I LOVE chocolate chip cookies, the soft chewy pieces of heaven that they are!
I made the mistake of thinking I could be good and have just one. Yes, I am an idiot. I know chocolate chip cookies are a trigger food for me, always have been probably always will be. Clearly, you can see where this is going...I ate entirely way, way too many.
Today I've been super tired and just have no energy. At first I was like, what the heck is wrong with me, but then I was like, oh, duh! I have a pretty good idea that is due to all the sugar I ate yesterday. I was kind of surprised, and yet totally not surprised at the reaction my body has had. I used to eat that way a lot though, it's no wonder I was always tired and didn't want to do anything. I would have never really connected the two had I not gone for so long with reducing my intake, so I guess something good came of it.
Now, if only this old dog can learn some new tricks and learn something from the experience...namely, to walk away from the chocolate chip cookies the next time!
And by the way, who thought it was a great idea in that store to put the bakery RIGHT next to the produce section?? I shouldn't be assaulted by warm chocolately goodness while I'm choosing my salads and apples for the week! Forget everything I just said, I blame THEM for my downfall!! ;-)
