On the wagon again?

I'm afraid to post it but I feel like I might be breaking the cycle. I've had two great days and I'm feeling good.

My challenge over the last while has been binging and always with the junk - sweets, sweets and more sweets. I have been carbing out like crazy - bread, cereal, cake, cookies, chocolates.... crazy carbs.

So I needed to break the cycle so the last two days, I cut out the refined carbs - no flour, sugar, white anything. Lots of lean protein, veggies, good foods. And I am not feeling hungry but my stomach already feels flatter and I feel so much clearer.

When I eat junk, I feel like junk. I don't feel clear. I was getting terrible burning in my stomach which I thought was related to drinking coffee but in two days that feeling is gone so evidently it was related to sugar.

Anyhow, so far so good. I feel like I'm breaking that binge/crazy carb cycle which I really needed to do.

In terms of life, Henry will come home at the end of the month for two days and then has to leave again. The children and I are finding a routine and its amazing how when there is no one to rely on, you don't - you just move on and do what needs to be done. Instead, we are trying to do some fun things as this week is Spring Break. We went to a campground/park in the next town and hiked along the "Spirit of the Woods" path which has carved faces hidden in the trees. Very cool and such a great day - the kids had so much fun. We went with a bunch of other moms and their children and all went for lunch and a bit of shopping after. Great day! Trying to stay positive and busy. Helps us all cope.

I'm feeling better and that is a good thing.
