Thanks for the encouragement Kris. You are right-you know me-guilt is my middle name ha!
Today went better and I wasn't as hungry except the headache was really bad today-so I guess no sugar won't help that. Hah! Maybe it's the chocolate; for real; so I only had one piece today and decided no more for now.
My favorite dessert is two Rye Crisps with whipped cream cheese on them with Cinnamon sprinkled on them served up with a side a sliced strawberries. Going to have some of that soon. Yum it's interesting how small treats can be so good.

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.
