I Gained More Weight
I’m afraid to get on the scale much, but I did manage to do it the other day, and I’m up to 215 pounds.
My boyfriend and I have been having problems for a while. Now we broke up but he has not moved out yet. All the stress is making me eat more.
It is amazing what stress will do to you. I have been eating tons of chocolate, and now that it’s almost Easter, I ate a bunch of Cadbury eggs too (my downfall). I told you I’m addicted to sugar.
I have even started drinking regular soda (Coca-Cola). I know diet soda is bad for you and can make you gain weight, but regular soda is bad too, especially in the U.S. where it is not even made with regular sugar. It is made with corn syrup, which is even worse for you. I thnk corn syrup will help you gain weight too.
I hardly have any fruit in the house.
I’m depressed about winter too. It has been so cold and snowy this year.
Well, that’s enough complaining. I guess I just had to get it out of my system.
I will try to post more regularly again.
Oh man - I just read one of my previous posts - I forgot all about checking my blood sugar. I will have to start doing that too. Maybe that will scare me away from eating so much sugar.

Lucy, I’ve met a lot of people who have struggled with cravings and they always come to the conclusion they are addicted to sugar.
Believe me you’re not, it’s just a habit, like biting your nails or cracking you knuckles.
Who cares about weight? Some of the finest athletes in the world are classed as obese on the BMI because they weight a lot.
What really matters is how much fat you have on your body. In fact, if you are walking your dog quite a lot, and eating a lot as well, you are probably gaining muscle not fat, which is making yourself weigh more on the scales.
