I’m eating ice cream again. For the third time today.
I spent 10 hellacious days giving up sugar, but like a newly sober alcoholic, I thought I’d be strong enough to have an occasional treat without falling into the abyss.
But oh, delicious sugar. How it coaxed me with its chocolaty goodness on my weakest days.
And so I fell. Hard.
I’ve enjoyed it, I can’t lie. But I’m sick. I can’t stop.
The sugar, it calls to me from the shelves of the store.
Somehow, it’s taken control of my fingers and forced me to endlessly shove ever-sweeter treats into my salivating mouth.
My face is puffy. My stomach is bloated and crampy. I’ve gained 5 pounds in 7 days.
But still, I can’t resist.
Like a lion on a gazelle, I pounce at every opportunity.
Dammit. Here I go again, giving it up. Getting Sugar Sober.
Prepare yourselves for what’s to come. It won’t be pretty.

I’m afraid. And I’m glad right now that I don’t live with you. But good luck.
I am on week 3 of no sugar no carbs. I feel for you.From one addict to another, it is hard. Currently freaking out about going out with ladies who don’t know. I don’t want to explain I don’t eat carbs and am not trying to look better than them by resisting, this is something I have to do for myself and to loose weight. If you need support let me know. @pbandjazz on twitter.
I went from 2 – 3 sodas a day down to none about a month before I got pregnant back in 2007. I was told not to have diet sodas during my pregnancy, so I switched back to the sugared stuff. My daughter is now 14 months old. I’m STILL trying to wean myself off.
Mmmmm ice cream. Mine is soda. I had been doing so well and now? Come to me Coke, I luffs you. I have a problem. I need to stop and one day I will come to that choice. But not this week. 🙂
Bring it on girl, I can take it 😉
I LOVE ice cream! Who am I kidding, I love food in general! That’s why I can’t lose weight damn it. So I totally understand your vice. Good luck with letting the sugar go. XOXO
I’m going through this right now and I’m eating more carbs in place ACK! I also thought buying sugar free fudgicles would be the answer, but it kind of defeats the purpose when you eat 6. Bring on the sugar free bacon!!!
Who can’t resist ice cream?
You could totally look at it from another perspective and realize that nobody likes a quitter! hehe
You can get back up and do battle again. You can do this. Every day is a brand new beginning. Start fresh tomorrow or the next day or whenever you are ready. All the people who care about you or read your blog or follow you on Twitter will be cheering you on. Best wishes.
