My name is Justine and I am addicted to sugar…………….

My name is Justine and I AM addicted to sugar!  Seriously, WTF!  I just spent 30 days, the whole month of January fasting and being awesome…..Now I am back addicted to sugar and almost gained all my weight back that I had lost.  I need an intervention!  This is my cry for help.  I am admitting my addiction, and need/want to change.  I don’t like the voice inside my head saying eat me, eat me, eat me!

Earlier this week, I ate awesome all day long drank lots of water and felt great, but in the back of my mind all I could think about were the Oreo cookies I was going to eat when I got home.  And I wasn’t going to eat just one, no, I have to have a whole sleeve.

Today is MY day and the day I am changing forever!  I need this and want this bad!

I am making a phone call to my trainer and friend and maybe he’ll have some words of wisdom.  I am going to need a ton of support, because I know I can’t do this alone.

I can do this and I WILL!

I thought my fast was going to shock my brain (my addiction) and that was going to be the end of it.  But, what I forgot or didn’t realize this is an every day choice.  To be addicted or not to be?  Everyday I will have to ask that question.  Is it worth being heavy, I do love my curves!  But they aren’t healthy curves. Not only are my curves unhealthy, my head is unhealthy.  When I fasted my head was so clear there was nothing unclear, I could see, feel, hear miles and miles away!  That’s the truth!  Not eating was and is way easier than making this decision and telling the world I’m addicted and need help.

I’m not saying I’m getting on a gym plan today and going to be in the gym 7 days a week, that will come with time.  I need not to eat sugar, processed sugar!  No cookies, cakes, soda, ice cream, whatever else. I probably can’t even have natural sugar for a while.  I have no idea. I need healthy, stable, in-your face help daily making decision tactics.

I am ready to face my fear are you?  If you are ready to face your addiction feel free to message me and I will help you get help or we can do this together!

 

Eating: A New Challenge

Good Morning!

I have received so many emails and FB messages wanting more from me. I now have been back from Florida for a week now and it’s time to give in to your addiction to me 😉

Please note, that I have felt that I have nothing more to share with you, that I am done fasting and eating normal so what’s left? What’s left only every meal and snack of the day! I have missed all of you and our support system we have going on. So today I am starting a new challenge!

Eating: A New Challenge

Eating….fasting was so much easier! No good or bad choices to make, no wondering is this good enough, should I be eating more protein, less fats, more fruits, etc. AHHH! It’s a daunting task but I enjoy it and hey, we do need to eat!

So I will be taking photo of everything I put into my mouth! OK, food that is…….Haven’t decided how I’m going to post, if it will be at the end of the day or throughout the day! Trial and error is the way it’s going to be. I will also be posting recipes and such to go along with them. If you have any other suggestions, wants or needs please let me know! This is starting Monday!

I have a ton of work to do as I am putting our house on the Market Monday and my photographer is coming tomorrow to take pictures. Lots, LOTS! to do!

I have gained 15lbs back since my fast ended which is right about where I thought I would be. I still look and feel great. I have not gone back on my depression medication and have felt no need for it. I am planning another fast in July, maybe a two week fast? I have not started working out on a daily basis as I thought I would have started by now….No excuses, I am lazy! It’s really hard getting back in the routine of working out. Going to the gym at 5 am to get your ass kicked….sounds awesome right?

I did make up my salad mason jars though…they were yummy. I bought regular mouth mason jars and not widemouth, so I have to dump-out the salad into a bowl to eat it, silly me!

Also, I wanted to share with all of you my main website Amazingg Acres http://amazinggacres.com/ Here you can find my fasting diaries, my home for sale and other DIY projects. I hope you enjoy and follow it!

 

 

Checking In

Hello!

 

I have missed you all!  I feel like it’s been forever since blogging and it’s only been a day 🙂

So as I told you before, I would gain about 10lbs back within a week of eating I am half way there.  As of this morning I had gained 5lbs back.  You can’t tell, it’s most likely water weight and waste.

I have been eating like a bird.  I did make chicken noodle soup, but left the noodles out as I want to stay away from carbs. 

I have noticed that the first few times of eating, I can feel the food go through my veins….that’s a pretty cool feeling!  It was like all the goodness from the soup was rushing to nourish my body!  I’m still eating pretty slow and bland things.

I have said this before but this is going to be really hard!  Harder than anything I’ve done in a long time.  Not eating was so easy compared to this.

Jack Canfield (The Success Principals) has an awesome saying, he says: “99% is a bitch. 100% is a breeze.”

That’s what I’m feeling right now…………..

This will get easier!  I will make good decision! This will become a habit!
