So where have I been?

gaining 10 lbs, that’s where. Since I have been off of Atkins, I have taken up the bad habit of drinking diet soda again.

Aspartame has not been berry, berry good to me. It talks to the 10 yr old part of my brain. It says “This tastes like sugar!!! And it is reallyreallyreallyreally good!!!!” Drink more.

Unfortunately, that kicks my sugar tooth into overdrive. And I end up eating candy.

What an idiot.

Any questions?

Namaste.

    Two steps forward, one back. That’s life. The danger is when people give up in despair after that one step back.

    The more general danger is the fat acceptance/fat pride movement, which tells people they don’t need to try at all.
