Day 33 (the great larry bird) - its a boston thing for those of you who dont know, lolgood day today. i ate well and i went to a jazz class tonight. i felt so much better after and i even did pretty well since i havent done any real dancing in like 2 weeks. i had a rather amusing moment last night after i got off here and brought my trash outside with the candy in it. i came back in to put a new bag in the trash can, and what is on the floor behind it? a baggie of candy corn. go figure. i missed one! i try to get them all away from me but nooooo, there has to be one left behind just to screw with me. damn candy. needless to say, i put it where it needs to be and never looked back...and never went in the trash to eat them!so i decided to just not buy anything sweet for my apartment right now. i used to keep 1 thing for the end of the day but i dont think i need that any more. before it was a plan to keep me from eating mochi ice cream balls at work. i would tell myself that i didnt need the mochi cuz i have ice cream at home....kinda like when you were a kid and you'd ask your mom for something while you're out and she's say "we have blah blah blah at home". so since i dont have that daily temptation, i dont need an alternative. also, i noticed that recently i'd look forward to eating whatever the sweet was in my apt and i'd end up eating it even if it meant going over my daily calorie goal. so now i'll just have to see if i really miss having that end of the day treat or if its not something i need right now. here's to a home that's sugar-free! haha, well, candy, ice cream, and cookie free!

i wonder what else you could \"treat\" yourself with other than food? that is what i am trying to figure out myself right now!
You are the bestest! If we watched a recording of someone eating out of the rubbish, we would have been disgusted. But yes like you i have done that too- gross!!!

Those bags of sweets sound evil, lurking behind you on the floor! Well done for chucking them out!
I am incredibly impressed by your progress. you are a true witness to how this recovery thing is possible. i find when it (sweets) are out of sight, they are out of mind. if i dont have the sweets in the house, im ok. it is when they are in the house and i can see them, then i am in trouble. so good for you, getting them out of the house!!! that is so hard! and you did it!!! so proud of you! lots of love to you!!
