Boy howdy, once sugar gets a foothold back in my diet, it is very hard to kick it. I need to call a priest or have my house cleansed. I'm fine up until mid-afternoon. Then the cravings start. I still have too many Christmas treats lying around. Yesterday I scarfed down a Toblerone bar that my daughter gave me. The package said 3 servings at 170 calories each. So I consumed 510 calories in 30 minutes. I wonder why I have no interest in sweets in the morning. If I felt like this in the afternoon, I wouldn't have a problem. What is it that changes about mid-day? Is it possible to recapture this lack of interest in sweets later in the day? I'll try to make a conscious effort to eat a string cheese snack and some nuts instead this afternoon and see if that helps.

It's 1:50pm and I'm having 2 boiled eggs, some lean turkey, and raw celery sticks, broccoli floret, and carrots. I did snack on nuts and dried cranberries earlier, and had a string cheese stick. I put the fudge out of sight. I need to dispel thoughts of going out to eat Chinese food tonight.
