I've finished painting our bedrooms and now just have to finish unpacking. I went to weight watchers today after two weeks off and haven't gained too much. I was thinking I need to find a way to get back on track and then I realised that simply going to the meeting is getting back on track... I also went for a nice long walk with my little guy. Still eating garbage though, and have no energy as a result. It's really hard to kick this sugar habit. I was reading an article today about the addictiveness (is that a word??) of sugar and how hard it is to kick. I guess I shouldn't be too hard on myself since it is hard to stop but sometimes I just think what's wrong with me?? I used to be able to just make a decision and go with it no matter what... and now I just can't seem to do that. But I'm back on the road anyway, tracking what I'm eating so I know exactly what I am eating. I remember when I did that with drinking - just seeing it on paper is pretty jarring... there is no escaping what is going in my body when I write it down!
In other news, I am meeting with a business coach tomorrow about my small business. I really want to focus on it this year as I'd like to be earning an income from it. I'm quite excited! But it also means I need to get a few more boxes out of our living room before noon tomorrow haha!
I am a wife and mother of 2 who has come through postnatal depression but became addicted to alcohol while doing so. I have told a bit of my drinking in this blog, my first attempt to quit and then finally how I had my last drink on the 14th of August, 2012. This blog is my way of not so much returning to the woman I was before I had kids, but hopefully emerging a more rounded, happier and more secure person because of all I've been through and all I am learning from my experiences.
Great to hear ! The sugar thing seems to be looming large in lots of people's minds now. How long have you been sober for now? I reckon just concentrate on that for now and kick the sugar addiction to the curb later. I'm a bit of a sugar binger too.. but then I think fuck it we can't be total saints can we?! Although as you say I'm sure the sugar does contribute to me feeling lacking in energy a lot (especially in the afternoons...) xxx
