Today is day 1 of me trying to gain some control over what I'm eating. This is probably a crazy thing to start a few days before moving into a new house but I've never been completely sane. It's now 6:44 and I'm tempted to see how much sugar I can fit into my mouth. I haven't been stopping myself from eating anything other than sugar and processed carbs but still... I'm not starving but still... I treated myself to bacon and an egg and sausage eggwich, meatloaf for lunch.. a few other snacks. I would still totally lick sugar off the floor right about now. I'm not positive but I think this might be the sign of an addiction. Maybe if I tape my mouth up with packing tape and boxed myself into a box then I would be able to get through this without fitting so many cookies into my mouth that I look like a hampster with an eating disorder.
Anyways... I think I close on Tuesday but the lawyer already cautioned me something could delay it. Buying a house in NY has to be the least enjoyable thing I have ever done even though I'm over the moon happy with the house that I'm buying. I have friends who volunteered to help me move without me even asking them. I have another friend with a massive amount of boxes. Heck even the janitor at work is saving boxes for me. Co-workers are offering me various things that I don't have and definitely need like a blender for margarita night. I don't know why this new house instantly equals a house party but it does. I'm excited to invite people over for cookouts and drinks and just hanging out and doing something dumb like watching Catfish. I never did that at the farm mostly because of the milking and chore schedule. The other part is I was always to busy that the house looked like a trainwreck. I don't see that happening at the new house. I won't have random hay droppings all over the floor!! I'm super excited to have a floor where I don't question where every brown spot came from! As much as I love the farm this new house means freedom in so many ways.
I'm super excited to show the kids the new house and let them pick our their own rooms. The new house has 5 rooms so they can play musical rooms for all I care. I can finally have a workout room!! My own personal little mini gym in my house with a treadmill, elliptical, bike, and hand weights!!
Now if I could just use some of this excitement to motivate me to avoid processed foods and sugar... I might not find myself squirting chocolate syrup into my mouth by 9 pm. Not that I would do that. Nope not me. Neeeeever.

I don't believe you😂 Urges are inevitable but you can control them. Last night I was starving for cereal and I caved. The wheat bloated me, the milk soured my stomach and I've been suffering with my IBS all day. The crave wasn't worth it.

Exciting, Elizabeth! Suggestion: When something evokes a sugar craving, stop what you're doing, retreat to the bathroom (door shut) Take 10 minutesor so and focus your mind on ONE thing that you LOVE about your new home. Bring to mind a rich, detailed image. Revel in it. Savor it. Be amazed that it's about to become a REALITY. Don't emerge until you've enjoyed the moment. THIS is a greater reward than the temporary rush, then the crash, of sugar!

It's impossible to control cravings. You have to use diversionary tactics! (Good advice Mira. How about doing that yourself!!)
