So I started this blog and then promptly stopped. I couldn't find a nice picture of me and my family so I stalled out for about a month. Like I said Im not making any promises. I tend to get into things then let them go as quickly as I started. So I wont the let the picture stop me. For now I shall just write and share and figure the picture video thing out as I go along.
Why was I inspired to write today? Well I have been driving Jed crazy talking about how much Im craving cinnabuns and other gooey sticky treats.
Why not indulge? Because Im trying very very very hard to follow a low sugar diet for multiple reasons. None of which is weight lose so chill. Mostly I would love to be pregnant again and so Im giving it one last push.
My acupuncturist counciled me to avoid sugar to help relieve stagnation in the body. Yeah, think what you want but Im doing all I can to become a mommy x 2. So if I have to give up sugar so be it. Except....I am seriously struggling with this diet! I realized I can NOT live without sugar so my compromise was to follow a diabetic diet. That went well for a few weeks but I went out to dinner the other night and enjoyed a piece of chocolate cake (hey Im not really diabetic) and now I am right back battling my cravings! Thank God I dont smoke cause I would have no will power to quit!
So I have learned some lessons of self discovery. 1. My body is hooked on sugar. 2. Sugar makes my day happy and without it I dont have much of an appetite. 3. I am weak weak weak. 4. I am very good at talking myself into indulging in something I know I shouldn't. 5. I have been humbled and have much more sympathy for people who have to quit a bad habit.
Maybe by writing about my weakness I will be strengthened....but I doubt it.

I totally feel your pain! I told Ryan I would go without sweets for the month of September - mostly just because I am horrible at moderation so I just figured I needed to just try to go cold turkey to break the craving. I lasted all of TWO WEEKS!! And I was cranky! And dying. And so I can only imagine what it would be like for you trying to do this for any lengthy amount of time! Ugh! And I never even thought you were all that into sweets. Nothing like me, I thought! Cool that you're seeing an acupuncturist. Have you been doing that long? Do you like it? Best of luck. I've been thinking about you. Trying to send the fertility gods towards you. And away from me. Far away. :)
