Right now I have a headache- it reminds me to drink water...lots of water.  I have still been having cravings for things like pancakes and  such but nothing totally out of control.  The smell of certain foods can get me hung up but other than that, cravings are pretty manageable.

But this headache?  Shit.  A little tidbit for you about me, I rarely get headaches so when I do have one, I have to be responsible and not turn into uber bitch.  Now at this point, some folks may be like, "Nope, I'm outta here.  I'm not eating that stuff if I'm going to get headaches.".  That is not me.  I know what is going on and I was informed of it beforehand.

See, Sadee (owner of Super Natural Energy balls) had given me the download on these things.  The user will go through a detox period.  Got it.  And headaches are common.  You betcha.  Make sure to drink water during this time- about a gallon throughout the day.  Yup, roger dodger.  Um.  Wait.  THROUGHOUT the day.  Shit.  That is why my frontal lobe feels like it is trying to escape through my forehead right now.  I haven't been drinking throughout the day and have used the headache as a reminder to drink.

Much like pain meds, if you keep up on it, you can totally ward off some nasty yuck.  But should you let it get away from you, and you have to get it back under control...you now get to keep your cool with others too. 

Whenever you are taking on something that YOU need to work through, talk to your support community beforehand- weight, diets, personal development, analizing your business.  This way if you do momentarily go all bi-polar on them, they will have an idea as to what it is about.  But as always, be responsible for who you are in the world- even when you really just tear off everyone's head because you wish that you could rip off your own.
 
 
Been doing great all morning and early afternoon and then like fucking clockwork it is 3:00pm and I want sugar/carbs.  I'm not talking about having a small square of chocolate, I am talking about a waffle sandwich with peanut butter, banana, and maybe drizzle a little Mrs. Butterworth's on there.  Damn- this is strange and IT SUCKS.

*deep breathe*

So I poured myself a glass of water instead.  A former coworker of mine used to battle the bulge with me.  She would tell herself over and over that she LOVED, not liked, water and that it was her friend.  Friend or Foe, I rather have that waffle than this water.

*feet flat on floor and wiggle my toes*

Already the craving is subsiding.  After just two minutes of typing, it is retreating.  Could this be like when I quit smoking?  Funny thing is that I have been strict with my food before and it wasn't ever like this.  Not going to concentrate on that right now.  That was then and this is now...and I am going to finish my water.

The thought just crossed my mind to take out all of the crap that I like out of the house.  Wonder what the husband and kids would say about that?
