Longest Week Ever

Grumpy, frustrating, lacking, and emotionally trying. These are words that described my week. How rediculous that sugar makes that big of a difference in my life. There were many days when I would go into the kitchen ready to grab a handful of chocolate chips and realize that I made a commitment. I would pace the kitchen, not really realizing that that is what I was doing. One day I finally just grabbed a couple of eggs out of the fridge, put them in boiling water, and had two boiled eggs and a big glass of water, hoping that it would satiate my craving. I figured that the protein and water would fill my stomach for a little while so that I would stop thinking about a treat. It did help. I yelled at my kids a number of times for things that probably happen everyday. I was tired (of course that could have been the fact that my baby doesn't sleep well at night). I remember thinking that I shouldn't feel this way because I haven't got the regular highs and lows of sugar, so I should have more energy right? Wrong, I think that that is what happens during withdrawls. Yuck! We went to the store to shop for some groceries for the holiday, and it about killed me. Anything sweet jumped out at me and begged me to eat it. Anyway, I feel so much better this week and I feel like it is a little bit easier. So I am going to go another week and see if there is more progress in the way that I feel. I find myself eating a lot healthier. I have been eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and I think that they are a great way to fight off cravings. Anyway, I am going to go for another week. Wish me luck once again.
