I have a sweet tooth. There I said it. But it's getting alot better. I used to put three and four spoons of sugar in my tea, but now I just don't even have any tea anymore....or if I do have tea I add honey and lemon to it. And when I was at my mom's house recently (she has a sweet tooth as well, I think that's where I got mine from), she had a candy bowl just sitting out there waiting for me to eat everything in it. But I didn't do it. I'm proud of myself, but I still have some room for improvement. I love chocolate milk. Nestle's!!!!!!!!! It's sooo goood! Okay. I feel better. :D
I have substituted drinking hot tea in the morning with drinking hot water, it's not the same but if I have to get off the sweet tooth wagon this is what I am going to have to do. I know that soda is not good for your bones. I have heard that before from more than one person. Which isn't too bad because I don't like soda anyway, unless it's in a root beer float, and I haven't had one of those in ages anyway. So I'm pretty okay there. Now my dilema is trying to find a happy medium between eating every thing that's chocolate to eating nothing. I'm sure there's a balance, it's just me trying to figure it out. I was thinking maybe one sweet a day. That's what I have been trying to do anyway.
A couple of weeks ago, I just almost binged. I think I had two or three sweets in one day. It was terrible. I felt so bad. But I am doing better now, so I guess that's all that counts. And I just have to make sure to keep doing better now. The next step is just trying to eat a little bit healthier. Diabetes runs in my family..on my mom and my dad's side. I've been walking alot though lately. I like it actually. I feel empowered. Like, I'm not bound or a slave to the public transportation system. I'm free.
A few days ago, a man from my neighborhood offered to sell me a bike for $10. I haven't ridden a bike since I was in kindergarten. It was fun though. It had training wheels, and everything. The wind blew threw my hair. I felt invincible. It was great. Kind of funny when I think about it now. If I fell though, I'm not sure what would happen to me. I haven't broken anything in over 15 years, which is great, but just the very though, has me kind of concerned.
The next step is eating a little bit healthier. I'm not a junk food hound, but I need to for sure eat alot more vegetables. Especially the green leafy kind.
