It took 24 days to lose the weight I gained in December. Since I weigh in every week it was only 14 days of eating poorly to gain the weight and 24 days of eating healthy to get it off. There is something very not fair about that, but what's a person to do?
The biggest problem seems to be that once you go back to eating sugar and processed foods, your brain starts craving the sugar and the processed foods; it's a horrible cycle.
Dealing with addiction is hard and the commercials on t.v. aren't helping much...ads for fast foods and chain restaurants, the people are beautiful and having such a good time; the food looks fabulous; everyone is having such a good time and even though I know it is all a lie, I want to go crazy and eat frozen pizza or a greasy hamburger or butter-dripping shrimp scampi. It's hard to keep telling myself that eating like that will kill me.
Eventually the cravings will fade and I won't have to fight so hard to eat healthy. In the mean time I'll be fighting the sugar monster.
