Well on July 17th went a friends house - he had made meatloaf - and i figured that it should be safe as long as i only have meat loaf. Well i was wrong - the glaze on top must of had sugar in it and the loaf must have had filler (carbs in form of bread crumbs - i kinda figured) and the coffee i drank also had sweet flavor creamer in it. I knew (to be perfectly honest) that i was consuming raw sugar. I want to test what this would do to me. Well after 2 slices of meatloaf, i started to daydream of pizza pops for dessert, lol. I was starting to get hungry again about an hour or 2 after i ate.

On my way home, i decided that since i was craving more food (and i dont think i was really hungry, just craving) that i would make a veg stir fry. So at midnight i embarked on making my midnite snack (and my lunch for the next day). After i ate that - i knew that there was no way i could be still hungry but still had the craving to eat more - so had a cpl small pcs of beef jerky and about a litre of water.

So i guess what we see as a little sugar our body can see as alot, and dont assume something is safe just because its close enough.

I will return back to my regular eating habits today.

But i realized something - just like an alcoholic who gives up booze - i cannot just take one sip just because i have been doing good - this will be a life long commitment to reducing bad food in. Also like that alcoholic that does a good job avoid temptation in their own home, i like him/her must venture out of my comfort zone and socialize - these will be the true test of myself and my commitment. It seems like i failed yesterday - however i wanted to see what a little carb would do to my body and how my psyche would react. It was a failure in that my my body/psyche wanted something processed and bad and to consume when it did not need to but it was a success in terms of me understanding this journey a little better and having a better respect for my body and the power it can have over what i crave and that i can rebound after "carb attack" and not give in. But this is something i will not be willing to try for a while LOL
