I found a recipe for chocolate mousse that has no sugar in it. I'm so excited to get the ingredients and make some. It involves low fat sour cream and fat free half & half, which I didn't know existed, but I'm going to search high and low, because I have a mission, hopefully creamy and delicious. You'd think, after six or more years of no sugar, I wouldn't miss it. I don't miss sugar in my coffee or tea, that kind of thing, but last week I was dreaming of chocolate chip cookies, and somebody mentioned See's Candies, and then I thought of Red Velvet Cake. My brain is evidently hard wired for sweets, and the longing, the longing, is still there. Even though, some fruit tastes too sweet now, and I can only stand dry, dry wine, and I still have 70% cocoa chocolate. I'm telling you honestly, sometimes I still want a Three Muskateers or Snickers.
So much for retraining the mind. So much for being kind to my body. I mean, I AM kind to my body, but I have fantasies of tubs of fudge and peppermint patties. I guess I trained myself not to ingest it, but not to get it out of my brain. Evidently, I'm brain washed, like the rest of the population, and actually, why are we all so obcessed with food anyway? Controlled by giant corporations who show us images that seep so deeply into our subconscious that our self preservation is lessened. This is a horror movie that no one would watch!
In the meantime, I am eating healthily, and I do love salads, but obviously not quite enough. I can't quite get myself to spend any fantasy time imagining them.
