Last night, I fell off the wagon a little. Honestly, it barely counts. I wanted fruit in the worst way after making smoothies that I couldn't drink. So I had a cereal bar with a fruit center. It's one of those health food aisle fruit cereal bars, so there was actually natural fruit and it had minimal sugar grams. So, while i cheated, I resisted the good stuff (i.e., frosted flakes). It didn't bother my stomach so i am hoping that is a good sign for when I am "allowed" to reincorporate fruit.
Then, while sleeping this morning, I had a dream. I won tickets to an afternoon Tori Amos concert in New York. I went and took my parents with me. On the bus, on the way home, they were giving out fancy chocolate samples. I ate them all with glee and then felt overwhelming guilt for having eaten such a thing.
I guess that's what I get for eating the cereal bar.
Like the dreams people who quit smoking have. They can come on YEARS after the quit, and I'm here to tell you that the longer you have gone without smoking, the guiltier you will feel about having that dream cig. Last one I had, I had a big bad feeling I couldn't shake, all day long.
I've been reading with interest your sugar free diary posts. I need to do that. But it's such a daunting task, even more so where I live - in rural SW Georgia. Think Paula Deen cooking, if you can even find a decent restaurant within 100 miles. I can't cook for myself right now. I'm discouraged. But you are so encouraging! You go girl!!!
