Confession Of a Sugar Addict

If you don't know me, you probably don't realize that I've been on a pretty long transformation journey and still have yet to reach my destination.

My name is Tiffanie and I'm a sugar addict. I had abstained from any sugar, sweetened foods, fruit, gum etc for 1 year and 2 months. Until this Christmas Eve. I ate pie! It all started with a banana, probably one of the sweetest fruits, then a little wine, then it escalated to nuts, trail mix and then a love affair with peanut butter. By the spoonfuls!

I should have seen the signs, I should have seen where I was headed. Then tonight, leftover pie with whip cream, might as well enjoy a cookie or 2 or 3, I mean I already had the pie.

If this doesn't happen to you when you eat sweets, the only thing I can compare it to is an alcoholic who can't control that urge to drink. I just can't stop in the midst of a sugar rush... That's why I abstain! The cure? I'll let you know! 😉

FITNESS SICKNESS?

I don't know about you, but there are some months that my consistency is almost non existent when it comes to my fitness.

For many different reasons, could be an injury flare up, changing of seasons, or just the lack of motivation.

What I've come to realize is that lacking motivation is like getting a virus. Some times you just have to let it run its course.

APPRECIATE THE CLOSEST ONES

Why do we treat those that are closest to us the worst?  An almost absent minded disregard? They are the last ones to really know how much we appreciate them in our lives. Now I'm not saying we do it intentionally, I am just speaking from my own experiences.

My poor husband goes out of his way for our family. When I come home from work and finally get to the end of my day I'm tired and exhausted. I forget that he probably is too. I absentmindedly make no time for us to talk about our day, or to simply relax together, I forget to tell him how Thankful I am to have him in my life, how grateful I am for all he does. And he does A LOT!

I find that I am more apt to make a special effort to connect with those that are farther away as well. You might live right down the street, I guess it's as if, the further away you are the more chances of losing contact? I am curious to hear feed back about this. If anyone has any input, would love to hear about it.

What happens on Facebook, stays on Facebook??

Do you ever get the feeling that whatever happens on Facebook, stays on Facebook? Seems like when you see "friends" in "real life", people act awkward, like it's uncomfortable to meet in person. Or your "friends" look the other way? Why is it so awkward for some? Are you embarrassed for me for being so out there or are you uncomfortable with something you shared?
Seems like no one wants to talk about in person what they share online? Or maybe we forget what we post and hope that others do to? Even when you mention something that someone has shared online they hesitate for   a moment and are like what? What are you talking about?
Just thought this was interesting, does this happen to you too? Or are you the confused one? Let me know your thoughts on this, interested! #TNTwTiffanie

TO TALK OR NOT TO TALK?

It's funny to see in the course of the day how many of us (self included), randomly pull out our cel phones throughout the day. Without a thought, like it's an added appendage, an extension of ourselves. We can be carrying on in conversation with a real live person right in front of us and texting or posting at exactly the same time. If you're in the real life conversation, you know you're not getting their full attention since they are trying to type their thoughts. Is this okay? Has this become the norm? Is this socially acceptable? Is this you? #TNTwTiffanie

HIBERNATION MODE

Love it or hate it??

SOME TIMES IT JUST CLICKS!

I was having some thoughts at work today and randomly scratched them out..
