i'm ........ trying to get my diet back under my control. Not dieting.. just I mean how I eat. Last year when i got sick the control was placed in other peoples hands.. .and not in a good healthy way. In a "la you need to eat a lot or you're going to dieeee!" way..everyone scared the crap out of me-- and they still do. If i don't eat enough or drink enough water during the day during the day my levels go too high and my risk of bleeding to death increases (-.-)... plus all these stupid food restrictions bc of my meds.. blah blah blah :p So in response the bf.. and the connor.. and the everyone keeps force feeding me basically :p That's not enough food la.. eat this entire cow sized serving of meat! My body is def paying the consequences :p

SO. I decided to take this month to re-set my food clock haha so to speak. I'm temporarily cutting out all sugars, rice, and keeping my carbs low (no bread and pasta) Just so I can get a hold on things. (the sugar and rice cutting out is more for my eczema mom says it will work if i stop eating them)..

I AM DYING. All I want is a bag of skittles or something.

I'm trying to focus on eating whole real foods. Meat, Eggs, Veggies that I'm allowed. No fruit right now because that will just make me want skittles haha. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

I WANT SKITTLES.

This sucks. But I really have to figure out where the balance is for my body now. I'm really frustrated and wanted to yell at someone.

Please send me skittles.

I can't even eat just a couple skittles. I will eat them ALL. I apparently have control issues. :giggle



:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry skittles. i miss you.
 
Glad to hear you're doing your body good with good food choices. Me, on the other hand, is always craving Lays Potato Chips these days. Every day I want chips! Just plain ol' Lays Chips!

BUT....I am drinking lots more water thanks to Mio!
 
i don't know if i will survive.. LOL

I am not good about drinking water either. It really shouldn't be this complicated :p Drink water, eat food. Done. pssht.
 
I know what you mean!! I'm eating in a similar way....no sugar, very low carb. I do eat fruit for breakfast tho, alone. Then I wait at least an hour to eat anything else. I only drink water except on cheat meals. I give myself 1 cheat meal a week. I can have anything I want (which is normally pizza or mexican food), plus dessert. It has worked for me since I know that I won't have to wait toooo long for what I want, so I keep at it. I get chocolate cravings like all the time tho. I have been satisfying that by making some fresh whipped cream and adding a bit of cocoa powder and truvia, so I have a kind of chocolate mousse. Then I just need a few spoonfuls of that and I'm good. Trying to eat right is rough.
 
Diets suck. Like, hard. I just found out I have arthritis in my hip. While that doesn't sound bad, it is when your job involves you to stand on said painful hip for 12 hours a day and the only thing that will help it? Losing weight. Oh, jeez, why didn't *I* think of that?? Sigh. Good luck, the first 3 days are the days that you are most likely to kill your friends and family ;) *hugs*
 
GAH! This is the toughest process to go through I think. It DOES get easier. Eventually you won't crave he skittles, and you WILL crave water (if you drink it now, when you don't want it, that is). It's just a re-train your brain phase, and it super sucks. Hang in there!!
 
sorry you're going through this la - i can sympathize.
if it's any consolation (probably not lol) it truly does get better and easier with time. don't feel bad about having cravings - it doesn't mean you're weak. the addiction is on a chemical level in your body, it's not all psychological. if you can tough it out for a few weeks it will cleanse your system and reduce the cravings.
i was really sick last year and had to do a similar "take my life back" diet. i quit a TON of foods. pretty much everything i used to eat everyday. it was a nightmare but i can't even describe how much better i feel now. it is so so hard but so so worth it in the end.
YOU CAN DO IT! :) just hang in there!!!
 
lol trying to hang in.. I know it's got to get better... One day at a time and all that rubbish right.. ^__^
 
Ugh, I hear ya. I've just been diagnosed with diabetes and have to make big changes. Why is it that as soon as you're told no sugar, it's alllll you can think about?! And carbs.. I neeeeed carbs. It's a need people, a need, not a want. It's such a steep learnign curve - I had no idea carbs convert to sugar. Ugh

Now I want skittles
