Week 4

Sometimes I just crave sweets but it hasn't been a problem lately because I just get busy and I don't really have the time to indulge. I've been trying to retrain myself to think about the negative things that sweets will do to my body. But on Thursday, I had auditions for a dance company. I used to dance in the USC's dance company and a lot of my friends from that company were at the auditions I went to on Thursday. I caught up with most of them while we were stretching, but we all decided to go to 21 choices after the auditions were over. It sounded like a well deserved treat because we just had auditions and I wanted to catch up with all my old friends. One of my favorite flavors is animal circus cookie. And when 21 choices does not have it as the flavor of the day, they will make it from scratch. I guess the girl helping me was very generous, because I watched her put 3 HUGE chunks of cookie dough, tons of circus animal cookies, and spoonfuls of sprinkles. She topped it off with more cookies and sprinkles. It was a lot more toppings and the portion size was larger than usual. Rather than yogurt with toppings, it was more so cookie dough, cookies, and sprinkles with yogurt as a topping. I got really excited because my frozen yogurt looked like a lot of fun and super special because the girl put so much extra treats into it. But after chatting with friends I ended up finishing all of it, and I felt like serious crap after wards, to the point I felt sick. That experience kind of scarred me for a while and now I can really visualize what terrible things sugar can do to my body and how it can make me feel. I think I see sweets as relaxation break, like my little time of fun and I think that's what I need to change.
