Celeste

Hi, My name is Celeste, and I am an Addict!

Eeeeaaassssyyyyy Folks...yeah...it's true...I am an addict....

a

SUGAR

ADDICT!!!!

Cupcakes, cookies, buttercream, cinnamon rolls, maple donuts, Reese's, Kit Kat...BRIDGE MIX...gooey butter cake....the list goes on and on and on and on.....=o( 

During Chemo and radiation, I have to admit, that BESIDES not having to shave a single crevice of my body....the best part about it was I HAD NO DESIRE FOR SUGAR!

When I was diagnosed with Cancer on 12/6 - I was a pudgy little piglet.....weighed in at 192 ugly fat lbs!!!  Check out the photos taken just a couple of months before I was diagnosed

yeah yeah - I carry my weight well - but that was 192 lbs!!  During my chemo treatments - at my smallest - I got down to 156 lbs - This photo was right about that weight - and yeah - it's a wig....but it was cute!!!

Since I am not standing you cannot really see how much smaller I was (you can definitely see that the DOUBLE CHIN is gone!), but I went from busting out of misses 14's to Junior 11's being too big....hoooray for that!!!

uuugh - I digress - back to the sugar addiction - much to my shagrin, as the chemo medicine depletes from my body, my craving for sugar has returned with a vengeance!!!! It doesn't help much when I make Bacon Cinnamon Rolls, but lucky for me, the ones I made last night, I only got 1 of because my youngest ate ALL THE REST!!!!

Gah - I know - get to the point - get to the point....distractions...the point of this damn post is that in the last two months I have gained 10 lbs back!!!!!  Aaaaawwwweeeee HEEEEEELLLLLL NOOOOOOO!!!!

Sooooo here we go....How in the HELL do you kick the sugar addiction?????

I'm not sure - but the research starts today....and 1 thing that I am sure of, is that it starts, for me...with kicking the diet soda habit....Did you know that drinking diet drinks actually triggers sugar cravings? Well....I'm here to tell you it does...and unfortunately for me...I'm also a diet coke addict as well!

So....the journey begins today....at 169 lbs, and 32 ounces of diet soda already today....time to kick the habit!  I have, however, consumed 128 ounces of ice cold water (geesh - that's more than I normally drink in a week!) and have started Spark People - AGAIN (I'm a repeat offender)...gotta make it work this time!

My mini-me (you can snag her button off my page) and I are on a mission....she already does Wednesday Weigh Ins and is doing GREAT...down 7.2 lbs since she started...but I have decided that I will start "Skinny Bitch Saturdays".  Saturday morning weigh ins will show me my progress for the full week, and let me know if I can treat myself (in a small way of course!). 

Stay tuned as I research Sugar Busting and journey towards my weight goal of 145 lbs.

Ha! if I can beat BREAST CANCER....this should be "literally" a PIECE OF CAKE!!!

FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!!!
