Sugar Monster has attacked

HELP!!!!
I don't know why I let it start, but I am currently wrestling with the sugar monster. Last week I bought Cool Whip free and ginger snaps. I don't know why, maybe since the thin mints have been in the freezer since forever ago. I thought I'd enjoy a few at a time on occasion. Now I'm in the middle of a nightly sugar craving, even though I'm full. I am now trying to figure out how to break the cycle. I'll have to get rid of the ginger snaps and cool whip. But what to do for the days it will take to get the sugar craving out of my system?? For now it's off to drink tons of water then later to bed..

It's been over a month since my last post.

Wow!! A lot has happened since April 9th. I went to Brussels with Missa. I got below 200 pounds and have stayed there!! But probalby the best thing was that I went home to see my family from April 27-May7 th. It was wonderful. The good news from a weight perspective is not only did I maintain my weight loss while home, I managed to lose 2 pounds there and came back to Germany at 194!! I also picked up some foods I can't get here very easily and am enjoying using them in my healthy menus.

Since my trip home I have struggled more with my food intake, mainly at the numerous going away parties being held, but have continued to exercise reguarly and have increased the intensity of my workouts by starting to jog and lift weights. I don't know what I'll do when the Civilian Fitness Program ends in October, but hopefully I'll be able to work something out. Will weigh in tomorrow and keep moving forward. I am thankful for Weight watchers and the amazing people who support me online!!
