Back on the wagon

I've been eating like a pig for a few weeks and it's taken its toll, so yesterday I got back on track and I've cut out sugar and flour again. I knew there would be a couple of days of headaches, but I forgot about the brain fog and tiredness My food without sugar or flour is delicious and so much nicer all round than the unhealthy stuff I sometimes eat, but getting past the first couple of days is so difficult, especially when the headaches come accompanied by cravings stronger than I've ever had for anything else! The problem with food is that, when it becomes an addiction, it's one that is largely socially acceptable, so it's much easier to give in than it is with addictions to other things like illegal drugs, or even other socially acceptable things like alcohol or gambling. I've just had sausage casserole for dinner and I'll be having vegetable stew for tea - both are really nice, if I do say so myself but the pull of processed foods is really strong!
