In case anyone was wondering if my lapse led to anything else, no I got straight back on the sugar free horse. On Wednesday night I made some banana ice cream with cocoa in it. And it came back to see me again in the early hours of Thursday morning :-( Not good, and I think it's put me off banana for a long while. A lovely neighbour brought round some Pepsi Max to settle my stomach and I drank it all before remembering I'm not having artificial sweeteners, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it as it was to settle my stomach. Tonight's evening snack has been homemade popcorn sprinkled with cayenne pepper - yum. And a cup of Attic Spice choco tea, which is infused with cocoa beans and cloves amongst other things.
One thing I was reflecting on today is that it's much easier to steer clear of the sweet stuff now. Today I was home alone (not allowed back to work so soon after an upset stomach) and normally that would have led me to having one or two naughty treats in front of daytime TV. I drove past the supermarket and did consider it, but it was so easy to drive past. The allure had gone. I'm yet to encounter how strong the pull will be when I'm upset over something. I'm a big emotional eater. I also have certain rituals. Like if my hubby is away for the weekend, I will have a big bar of cadbury or galaxy to myself. Time will tell as he's away at the end of this month...
