PSA: Sugar is poison
I’ve been eating at a calorie limit for the past few weeks and allowing myself one bar of chocolate or similar on Friday nights. Sugar is my one vice - it’s like crack to me. I’ve found the easiest thing to do is cut it entirely during the week, then have something at the weekend so I don’t go completely nuts and give up. I’ve found my hunger cues are working again and I’m generally a LOT less tired and hungry during the day, which is great.
This weekend, I fell off the wagon a bit. I wanted a specific chocolate bar but my local shop only had multipacks left… so I bought the multipack. Plus a new brand of biscuits on offer that looked delicious. So come bedtime I’d had half the bag of delicious biscuits and two of the chocolate bars. I lay in bed on Friday night with my stomach bloated and churning, my mouth dry and unable to sleep. Saturday morning I woke up still tired and craving more sugar to fix it. In the space of a few hours, I’d gone from having control of my cravings to being right back where I started.
It’s Sunday morning now and I’m back to chugging water and trying to not buy any more sugar. It’s going alright so far, but only because I’m remembering Friday night and what I did to make my body feel like garbage. I may even cut the weekend treat out from now on, until I know I can eat them in moderation again. Moral of the story is: keep your trigger foods in check and listen to your body!
