O.K., so a few days ago, I had a really bad eating day. It all started with a muffin . . .
To make a long story short, I started the day off eating simple sugars and, quite predictably (as I've learned from Dr. Oz's book), so began the simple sugar rebounding effect.
After eating said muffin, (or corn pops, or my son's leftover chocolate chip pancakes, etc., etc.) I'd feel good for maybe an hour, but then I'd feel blah (because my blood sugar had plummeted), and I would crave more sugary foods. I kept eating to try to make myself feel better, but my food choices were actually the culprit -- the reason I was feeling so sluggish, so I basically felt like I needed to eat all day.
So, what now? I learn from it: I did not enjoy myself at all on the day I binged. I did not feel good. I did not have fun. So, why do it again? It just doesn't make any sense.
Will I fall off the wagon again? Probably. But I feel certain that it will happen much less frequently than it used to. I am making progress, and I am feeling good about it.
