Not Feeling So Good

06 August 2009
By: Teenz

Not feeling so good today - but it's my own fault. Ate far too much chocolate last night. I know why I did it - I am very stressed at the moment due to work so I need to learn how to deal with stress a better way than reaching for chocolate. The way I feel today I don't think I'll ever eat the stuff again. Somethimes I despair that I am never going to beat this chocolate/sugar addiction. Sorry for the negativity today. xo

Ahh Hang on in there Teenz. You will kick the habbit in the end. I`ve just listened to day 11 and Pete says these foods are the most addictive.

If its any consolation I feel rubbish today. I went to the London Beer fest yesterday and had a big fried breakfast, curry with onion bahjee and samosa.. And a sausage roll.. What with all the ale I drank, I feel fat and bloated and am deinitely wearing it today.. But do you know what, I loved every minute of it at the time and keep laughing at myself today.
So, have a giggle at you and hang on to the yuk feeling and maybe next time we shoud take Petes advice and say.. UUUUURRGGG!! Lol.

Thanks so much for your reply! Am feeling better than I was this morning! Must have had my 2 litres of water by now so that can't be a bad thing! What happened last night has made me more determined than ever to kick this awful habit! At least you enjoyed yourself! Can't say the same for myself! Once again thanks for your comment. You cheered me up!!

Well, you are not the only one to be addicted to sugar-- and won't be the last, I'm sure ! How about listening to the relaxation cd before you rip the wrapper off ? It just might strengthen your resolve and underpin what good things you are doing--- and, as for your job, well ,it is just that,not your life and if it makes you feel so stressed maybe you need to get some help with that .
Failing that, only keep good quality, high % cocoa choccy in the house, you are less likely to scoff that , trust me, I know, I managed to beat my choc addiction like that and now enjoy some when I fancy it.
Hope you feel better. Bizzilizzie

Bizzilizzie, really interested to hear how you beat your chocolate addiction. Did you just go cold turkey?

Don't get me wrong , Teenz -- I do have the odd dime bar but am in control now
I got off it by changing what I ate -- swapped my favourite cadburys dairy milk for a suchard 70% cocoa solids and made myself suck it slowly --- I think that choccy has a lower g.i.score so I didn't have such a sugar rush which at least gave me the option to stop -- I could eat a family size caburys milk before. I did limit myself to about 4 squares which probably sounds impossible to you but it did work and, after all, a little of what you fancy, and all that. I have also observed that eating too much pasta or giant jacket spuds drives me towards sugary stuff so if you are keeping a food diary,might be worth seeing if you eat the choccy after particular meals.
You will beat it into submission, you know you can do it, just show it who's boss !!
Let me know how you get on. Bizzilizzie xx

Hi Teenz, you'll get there, I know you will.

You're up against big companies with massive budgets who spend a lot of money making sure that the taste and feel of the chocolate is addictive so you keep buying it. It's finding out what works for you to beat it, I'm still working it out.

You've got to believe and visualise that one day you'll be one of those people who eat a few squarres and put it back in the fridge!!

Don't give yourself a hard time as you work it out though. Jess x
