Gaining self control.

I love sugar! Treats are one of my favorite things in this world and second to sugar is chips, all kinds of chips with dip of course. Well as a cruel twist of fate my body can't tolerate sugar or oil very well any more.

If I do eat anything with sugar or oil I have the understanding that it better be good because the vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and stomach cramps that follow need to be worth it. I went to the doctor and he said that I can build up my sugar and oil tolerance if I just eat a little each day. I tried that and the zits on my face and body totally broke out big time, I was a total pizza face and I got violently ill every day.

So after a week and a half of this I thought screw it I just wont eat those things unless it is a very special occasion. ( Pie at thanksgiving, my mothers caramels at Christmas, and the dessert at sister night out.) My sister in law makes this coconut cake that is one the best things I have ever tasted I say that it is worth it. So I have been making treats for my husband and just not eating them. Three days ago I made fudge and tonight I made English toffee and I haven't eaten any of it, I am very proud of myself. Cookies is the best thing for us because my husband loves them and I don't really like cookies so win win situation. Getting ill every time you eat something you shouldn't really makes self control easier.
