I cheated! And there's a consequence!

[saraburns]

I've been craving something very specific for weeks!  Twice I've gone to the grocery store and talked myself out of buying the unhealthful ingredients to make this cheat treat - sugar, cron syrup, peanut butter and Special K cereal. But yesterday I was vulnerable; we had a construction crew Hotmop our new shower pan, subjecting me to breathing very strong hot tar fumes throughout my house, and I got very sick and couldn't eat anything.  I finally got up enough energy (thanks to my bone broth and Gatorade) to go to the store. I allowed myself to buy stuff to make these cheat treats by rationalizing that at this point anything was better than nothing.  (I actually believed that for awhile.)  then I thought, well, it looks like I'd better just get this out of my system and learn whatever there is for me to learn.  Well, I ate a bunch of,this crap last evening and I could not get to sleep, and when I finally did, it wasn't restful.  When I woke up, I ate some more and then I put the rest in the freezer because it's impossible to eat when it's frozen and it's out of sight. so,here's what I've learned.  I. CAN'T. POOP.   This is a big deal, because I'm regularly, ahem, an excellent pooper. But my guts are at a complete standstill.  I wish I could report that I've lost my taste for these unhealthful buggers, but I still think they taste good. I'd hoped that as with Chips Ahoy cookies and Lays Potato Chips, I'd have lost my liking for them, but nope.  Poop.

edit: Haha, jokes on me! I just noticed I wrote "might as well get this (particular craving) out of my system" and that's exactly what I can't do.  Gotta love irony and karma.

Oh no! I hope you can "relieve yourself' soon. And I think what you said is true, there can be uncomfortable consequences to "cheats". I hope you feel better soon!
