I have found the “tare button” on my weight loss week and though I know there is a crate-load of calories already in my journal, I have “zeroed” it for my sanity.
Last week I came to the conclusion that the only way to avoid sugar was to avoid sugar. (Deep, I know).
So how did I end up with the leftovers of a baked cheesecake in my fridge for 24 looooooong hours?
I was being nice, and sensible and rational, honest. But while I can be all those things when other people are around, I find it hard to find reason when I just want to cram cheesecake down my gullet. It’s not nice or sensible but it’s reality.
Fact: I love baked cheesecake but I don’t think about it.
Fact: I have not once in the past, oh, twenty years craved cheesecake, made cheesecake or bought cheesecake.
Fact: Proximity makes a mockery of avoidance.
I’m not sure that last sentence makes sense but I like the sound of it. The FACT is that having a cheesecake in my fridge over-rides the fact that I don’t have any particular desire to ever eat cheesecake.
I believe this alone points to a diagnosis of disordered eating. And no matter how “ordered” I have managed to get my eating over the past 2 years, I can fall into a vat of cheesecake with the most disordered of disordered eaters.
Have I said cheesecake enough?
I think it’s out of my system now so I won’t say it anymore.
And I’m going to take a break from weekday wine for a bit too. It’s time to get more nutrition for my calories. But more of that tomorrow.
