Sugar addiction is real

[dancelnow]

So staying in a house with my siblings and their families this weekend so 6 adults and 8 kids. It’s been hard, but I’ve been compliant except for wine. I just couldn’t. It’s been hard figuring out something separate for us and dealing with managing this brood.

Well tonight someone decided to do ice cream sundaes for the kids. Great...I am a sugar addict. I licked one drop off my finger while serving and damn I want some. Had to go physically separate myself from it and am hiding upstairs. Sugar addiction is real and it’s so hard to break. I feel like there is something wrong with me because this is so hard.

Also having stomach troubles now. I thought salad I had at freebirds was compliant, but now wondering. The ground meat and guacamole were supposedly non-allergenic for soy, wheat, dairy, but maybe something else? I am sure the fajita veggies were cooked in some oil, but I’m just trying my best with that.

Don't beat yourself up too much. I think the point is to recognize triggers and see how your body responds to certain things. At least you see how powerful sugar is to you and that situations (like being with family, away from home etc) are places where its hard to be successful. 
One day at a time.

I'm new on this board- usually hang out on MMM, but just wanted to commiserate. This is my second round (first in 2017) and it for some reason feels SO much harder this time. I'm exhausted, nursing and have two kids under three. I love what thejackpot said about recognizing triggers. I think that's what I"m going to try and focus on next week.
