Carbs. In all forms. Because carbs.
Sugar is my comfort - be it in icecream, chocolate, cake, biscuit or any other form. I just love it.
As I've stated previously, I need to learn to stop loving it. I need to learn to stop using it as a comfort and relying on it for energy boosts throughout the day.
When I was growing up, we had veg in a vegie crisper (Tupperware) which left the veg drawers empty for chocolate. We called it 'the chocolate drawer'. Some of Mum's friends worked at the Cadbury factory and we got loads of freddo frogs, mishapen crunchies, and all sorts of other goodies. After dinner and most afternoons we would go into the chocolate drawer for a treat.
I don't blame my parents for my weight, but the habits that formed in early life are hard to break.
And then there's bread and pasta. Another great love of mine that needs to be drastically reduced. A big warm bowl of creamy pasta (or bolognaise, I'm not fussy!) or some delicious soft bread to accompany a meal... oh I'm in heaven.
That's enough. I can't talk about this any more. Can't wait to get a job and get onto this program that I'm looking into and change my mindset about food from being a comfort to being a fuel. It's a pity about money...
