Almost...

Posted in Health

So I tried, & almost made it, then I fell again.

I went off sugar, just the obvious kind. After the initial lousy withdrawal, I felt better. Then came the downfall.

My parents dropped off gifts for my daughter, & called me later to let me know. (Long story there). When we brought them in there was a bag FULL of candy. I had thought it was well known I don't feed my children candy, but I guess not. If anyone would have been used for the "temptation"... well, anyway...

I fell & ate some of the cookies they had in the bag as well as some jelly beans. Ugh. Now I'm back to feeling droopy. So I guess I learned. I'm going to try again; I'll get back up again. I did feel good for a couple of days. At least I threw everything else out.

I really think Satan does not want me to feel good. When I feel good I'm better for my family. I can do more with my kids; I can handle the stress better. It all goes south with the sugar. I think it's a spiritual battle here. I have so much to do & need to be on top of my game & I'm just not right now. I have to change that.

Lord give me Your strength...

Hey Michelle,
I've been reading but haven't had much time to respond. I just wanted you to know that I can really relate to what you're going through. I have Candida that's quite advanced. I was off of all sugar and all of the other illegals for months...until I picked up a piece of Halloween candy. We don't even celebrate Halloween, but that didn't stop me from getting that candy!! I have been trying to get off of it again since then. I do well for awhile and then I go back to it, which makes NO sense because I feel so awful after I eat it!

I don't know if it would be helpful, but maybe we could be accountable to each other until we're back on track...

What supplements do you take for it? I've tried different programs/brands over the years.

I am the same way... I can seem to keep from buying bad things at the store but when it's in my house I have no self-control at all. It's just pointless! Sugar is such awful addicting stuff! And why is every holiday centered around food and candy in particular? We just got through Valentine's Day with all the chocolates and now there's jelly beans and things all over the stores for Easter. They're constantly tempting us!
