My Leo, my husband is wonderful and very supportive,BUT he loves chocolate too !

I can’t forbid him from eating chocolate bars in the house, poor man !

But guess what ! I’m so happy ! I didn’t get temptated for a second, I think sugar has began to lose “it’s power” on me !

Less than a week and already 4 pds gone ! I’m so happy !

When I say forgot sugar I mean all sorts of sugar ( I take splenda instead), white bread ,pasta and rice, actually quick sugars / carbohydrates.

I eat brown bread 2 slices a day, in vegetables there are also carbohydrates but the glycemic index is low so it’s possible to eat them particularly greens like lettuce, green beans, tomatoes ( but a little bit acid for my delicate stomach …).

I wanted to go on eating some cereals like oats but they give me heartburns…I used to add to the oats ground flax seeds so precious for good fats like omega 3. So now I add the flax seeds in other food.

I  also eat proteins like eggs, chicken, turkey, cheese not too much but every day.

5 years ago I lost 75 pounds on diet between Atkins and Scardale, because of a cortizone treatment +binging I gained  these pounds.

 I have 20 pounds coming back when I start binging again.

I usually binge my home made cookies and cakes whose I love so much !

Now I break again this “vice”, in the future I want to be able to eat one or two, ok may be 3 but not all of them……..

I overcame my craving for sugar, it’s a good step.

I practise sport but not as much I want, I come back so tired from work…..I know it’s not an excuse……..

I went to the supermarket and once again saw all these industrials products : salty, sweety, you can buy all sorts of potatoes chips perfumed with paprika, cheese all what you want  and sounds tasty  !  and of course  all these different sorts of biscuits, particularly chocolate biscuits….grrrr

All this stuff is so tempting and full of promises to make you happy….temporarily at least before you wake up and think : “what did I do to myself  swallowing all that rubbish !”

When I think all the people behind this food industry are getting richer feeding our waistlines  in order to buy their wifes  expensive size zero clothes !

It’s really insane !

I was so angry thinking so clearly how we can be puppets in a fake world that makes us think that we need all this, and that it’s good for us, for our children and actually we just fullfill the desires of these industrials who meet their goals selling and selling us more ! 

When I came home I took my last B…and J… prefered ice scream that I kept religiouly -in case of- and throwed  it away in the garbage !

I know, it’s not nice to throw away food…but I decided to do a symbolic act today !

And even my cat who loves to finish the few left will have to say no too !… Poor thing…it won’t understand !

Let’s get heathier, human beings and cats too !

Beside this, everything’s all right, life is great !

I love so much chocolate, I think for me it’s the hard part not eating chocolate, speaking of eating I mean “eating” i.e not tasting 2 gr and claim to every body”Oh yes,  I do eat chocolate and don’t grow fat !” .Eating till I can no more…

So I admit, I was getting frustrated but happily I found a solution that satisfies my chocolate sweet tooth : milk with chocolate perfumed whey powder, it’s good for the muscles but above all for my mood !

It’s amazing how it lift me up  this little sweet taste of chocolate !

How I love this sentence !

Every day when you come up is a new day full of promises, you can plan, decide, do, achieve and of course fail, we are just human beings aren’t we !

However always expecting the best for you, for your beloved ones.

It’s so wonderful to think each day has his potential and it’s up to you to decide : shall I be optimistic, shall I reach my goals for today, shall I give love to the others, help them,when I’ll go to bed and think about this day shall I be satisfied or not.

ok it was my first post in my clumsy english because I’m french speaking….but as you know “the best is yet to come” isn’t from me and there are no mistakes in the sentence…
