Well apparently my addictive behavior didn't stop at just drinking (which I overcame in Jan due to a warning stroke and will have 2 mths clean and sober on Mon.) but has now manifested itself on my cheat day. I have had 3 ice cream sandwiches, a sundae, 2 ltrs of diet coke and 3 candy bars. What the hell is wrong with me???? Why can't I just have a sundae and be happy and be done with it? Why do I go off the deep end every freaking Sunday? Well not anymore. No more "cheat days" for me except once a month on pay day. And that will be a treat of a nice dinner out. I need to stay AWAY from processed sugar as it just seems to make me crave even more. I can't have A diet coke, I want more. I cant have A candy bar...I just can't do it. So it's best to just abstain. As for the carb issues, I can see the problem...and will work on that. One thing is to eliminate ALL Special K products which is just JUNK!!!! I got Great Grains for when I do eat cereal, all natural - no processing. I will cook more although its hard cooking just for one. And definitely do more salads when I can afford fresh veggies. I do try to eat fresh fruit once every day for snack and yogurt for my second snack. Maybe my yogurt choice needs to be reexamined? IDK. Im open for suggestions. And I DEFINITELY need to get back on my excerise routine that I kinda let slide last week. Anyway....that's me.

That is a big step to stop drinking. and I am very proud of you being 2 months clean. sweets can be a dog too, it seems like you know what to do it's just a matter of doing it. I know believe me I know it is easier said than done. I can't wait to see your next post. Keep up the great work.

A lot of us are addicted to refined sugar and flour. I cant stop myself if I have it either. I want the rush I get from each bite and when its over the rush is gone, so I need more. So I cant have any. I went to Overeaters Anonymous the first time I was in treatment for this and I would go to AA meetings as well. An addict is an addict. The first step is admitting you are powerless over it when you have it. My body feels so much better without those empty calories too.

First of all CONGRATS on being sober. That is wonderful! I am a sugar addict and carb addict, that is the reason I am on Atkins starting today. I cannot stop eating it either. I have eliminated wheat all together and will never touch it again.

Alcohol is my problem too - that temporary crutch. It takes days to feel good again and you eat all sorts of rubbish with the hangover excuse. I guess you must remember that no-one deserves your love as much as yourself (Buddah) :-)

I'm a single mom who's kids are about to fly the coop. I plan on doing my cooking on Sundays afternoon's and freezing dinners, so that I'm not tempted to just eat something quick and unhealthy when its just me for dinner. Maybe something like that will work for you. And yes cheat days don't work because they turn into binge days. Think of it more as a cheat treat. 1 cheat treat, If I do well all week I allow myself 1 thing, that I wanted and said no to during the week.
