Sneaking up...

Who in her right mind would choose the holiday season to begin/resume her weight loss efforts?  Yeah... that would be me.  In fact, I haven't chosen THE day to officially start measuring food portions and counting points and perhaps I don't have to.  I will take the next couple weeks to make small adjustments towards that end.  Sort of warm up to it all.  Sneak up on the starting line, maybe toe it for a little while.

That being said, today I made some reasonable food choices, and some not-so-reasonable ones.  Reasonable: Multigrain Cheerios and vanilla almond milk for breakfast and a banana for a morning snack.  Arguably reasonable: a felafel pita w/ tzatziki sauce.  Unarguably unreasonable: three servings of a home-made chocolate log w/ fresh whipped cream, several cookies, more than several chocolate kisses... ~sigh~  I freely confess to an addiction to sugar.   Seriously.  I'm starting to wonder if my typical weekend caffeine withdrawal headache is actually a sugar crash.

Knowing that there are millions of others who have the same addiction should make it easier to overcome, but alas...  Hello, my name is Julia and I'm a sugar-holic {Hi Julia}.  I've been clean for three hours, 27 minutes {low mumbles of support}.  My first sugar high occurred when I was 18 months old and my mother gave me that first bite of Hostess cupcake.  I've spent the following 49 years chasing the high. {mumbles of empathy}.

My goal for this weekend is to foster mindfulness, and reeeeeeeally focus on the amount of sugar I consume.  I will follow up with my report of shame ~er~ results.
