Well, it’s the weekend. Mostly I am glad- but with Friday comes old associations around ways of kicking back. When I am staying off of sugar and on my best
food plan, I also stop drinking. I do not have a drinking problem, but I do have
a sugar-problem, and alcohol stirs it up.
Many people notice that it is hard to eat well once alcohol hits their system- if you are sensitive to sugar, that is what will happen- alcohol goes into our system as if
we are mainlining sugar- same effects in many ways. So I stay away from alcohol when I am on my food plan. It’s hard, sometimes really hard.
I am feeling the wish to be able to transition into the weekend via
a drink with my husband. This friday night craving is familiar to me-
I suspect I will deal with it by distracting myself with a phone call to a friend,
maybe some hot tea, or ice water and it will pass.
Lest you think I was sailing along with no urges or struggles, I am
having this one. Will say a prayer and make a call, and I suspect I
will be able to report to you tomorrow that I made it ok.
But it’s hard. Sometimes more than others …
