A Couple of Steps Backwards......

Not overt steps backwards, no actual dessert or sweet treats except that stupid chocolate!!!  Two a day of those a day-Come on girlfriend, get with the program.  Two days of not eating at home and Mother's day made it difficult to watch the hidden and not-so-hidden sugar.  Hash browns with my omelet and American cheese in my omelet yesterday at breakfast and a "few" fries for dinner last night with Ketchup (yep, hidden sugar) and honey mustard on my burger (yep hidden sugar) and my Arnold bun (3 grams of sugar) and a "I don't care" attitude.
Also had a little too much fruit. Those grilled pineapple are so good. 
Today at GFV I had a "splash" of lemonade in my ice water, but I resisted the hobo bread and the frozen custard, but then  "rewarded" myself with two, yes, TWO pieces of dark chocolate.  Now I can't have one tonight.  I am skirting the edge here and I need to find some recipes to help me get down to business.  It is very hard when you "deny" yourself the things that make your food taste good, but that is what sugar addiction is all about.  Any diet or change of life requires discipline and I find I am most vulnerable when I am tired, or depressed. 
Still I am not giving up, no, I refuse to even as the Chef is downing a piece of apple crisp right now.
