So twice yesterday I put people off buying me gifts of chocolates, in exchange for favours I did them, because I told them I was banting so no carbs. So the one gave me apples instead [sigh] and the other one gave me a pack of Woolies sweet potato & chia rice cakes, which are 89% carbs!!! And she insisted they were diet food and therefore I could eat them. I should have just said no thanks and not taken them, but in my usual fashion I felt bad and so I took them, and of course that's what I ended up eating today because I had nothing else available. So my carbs are WAY too high today again, and it's so annoying because it's such an issue for me! Aaarrgghhh!

Started my banting journey again today. Not a scrap of bread passed my lips, and I was even in the shopping centre for many hours. The first day is always easy, you think you can do it, no problem. And then after a few days you realise you're never supposed to go back to your old (but enjoyable) habits and that's when the cravings kick in. I've got to try to be strong this time, and not fall off the wagon before I've achieved what I want to... i.e. to get into all the clothes I've been saving for years because I should actually fit into them. Whatever I can't fit into in the next few months, is getting given away. I'm done with having lots of good clothes just sitting there in the cupboard irritating me.
Made an effort to eat lots of fat today, in fact my % is 72! The only way to not crave sugar uncontrollably, and to have some self-control. But I do need to work on the psychology of giving up sugar (and bread). It's my downfall.

Losing 0.4 kg a Week
12 June 2022
I'm a sugar addict, have been my whole life. I love to live and eat healthily, but the baking obsession I haven't been able to shake. I guess for me it's synonymous with my mum, as I always baked with her and baked goods were a celebration in my home. It was never a forbidden food, no-one ever uttered the word 'diet', but it was a treat for weekends, birthdays and Christmases only. Problem is, once left on my own, and in charge of my own eating, I started eating sugar in some form every day. And since my mum passed away, baking is a way for me to remember her.
And I have to mention that I always loved raw dough. I used to munch happily on stolen bits of dough whenever we baked.
ANYWAY... this week I've taken a week to just notice what I eat, why I eat, how eating makes me feel before and after. Because I do need to get my sugar addiction under control. Emotional eating is my crutch - happy, sad, excited, fearful, whatever ... I eat sweet things. So a few days ago I decided I wanted to make my mum's apple crumble. I'd mixed together the butter, sugar and flour for the crumbly topping, and I tasted it to make sure the mix was right. And then I had more, and more, and more. I must have eaten about 3-4 dessertspoonsful of this raw mix!
It was such a compulsion I couldn't believe I was even doing it! I wasn't hungry, I wasn't feeling strong emotions, I just loved the taste of it.
Does anyone else do this?

Haven't tried to eat differently this week, just week of observation. So wasn't expecting any change.
