What do I crave every now and then? Well, if you've read my "Where's the Willpower" post, I wrote that I have craved an Angry Whopper, chocolate, and all other kinds of foods. Last night, I was being whiny to my husband just because I could LOL.
I listed all the foods I was thinking about when I whined....
Ice Cream (green tea, cookies n cream and kona coffee flavors)
Honolulu Burger Company's burgers and sweet potato fries
Jack In the Box curly fries
Subway sandwiches
Pasta, pasta, pasta!
Filet Mignon
Pizza
Wine...Riesling, Carbernet Sauvignion, Rose...even the cheap stuff!
The list can go on and on! Not to mention the socialization that happens while eating these tasty foods. This subject came up when I was talking with my cousins during our annual Christmas shindig.
But I really have to remind myself what will happen if I eat these foods. I will have diarrhea, headaches, cramps, painful bloating, flushed feeling, and be on a sugar high for days! I am human, and I do make mistakes. And even with all the reminding, we still give in to old behaviors. But oh man, once you've eaten clean for a while and then have these delicious foods, your system rejects it big time! I know this for sure because this past Monday, I ate a typical American holiday meal: stuffing with raisins and sausage, turkey, mashed potatoes with the gravy and green bean casserole. It tasted great! It was kind of a no choice situation. I was at a friend's party and that's all the food they had...oh, and then dinner rolls! I steered clear from the rolls, but I had everything else. I didn't want to be rude and not eat their food...plus I was hungry! I didn't eat a lot, but it was just enough for me to be in pain and discomfort for days....and still to this day!
The temptations are out there and will continue to haunt me. I am so glad I do not have Celiac Disease. I would be so miserable, but then again disciplined because people with that disease have way more health concerns than I do, and they steer clear of those foods. Period.
I need to be more disciplined than how I am now so I don't get sick.
