It was bound to happen

I fell off the wagon yesterday.

After 7 weeks one would think that my need for sugar would have passed.  But no.  I can not equate a beautiful dessert with a plate of broccoli which is what so many people claim happens once you boot the sugar addiction.  I have blogged for a few weeks now that I have really felt like something sweet.

Last night I caved.
I made banana muffins for my daughter who is going away camping for a few days.  It's those dreaded over ripening bananas that are the problem.  I can't stand seeing food go to waste.  So three weeks in a row now I have had to made something with them.  The last two weeks I tried to use a high fat paleo style recipe to add to the bananas in order to reduce their carb load.
This week however I made the banana muffins the conventional way, even using white flour (shock horror).
I added lots of eggs and butter, but I'm not sure that can mitigate the sweetness of the very ripe bananas and the white sugar I also used (eeek).  Anyway I HAD to taste the mix.  And then I had to lick the bowl.  And then I had to taste one of the cooked versions.  White sugar and white flour in one big whammo hit.

I shall climb back on the wagon, I just have these delicious banana muffins sitting between me and the wagon right now.

Before this little transgression I did have the feeling that my weight loss had slowed or reversed this week.  It's a weird thing to weigh and measure yourself each week.  Never before in my life have I bothered to do this.  So maybe weekly fluctuations are normal, I have no way of knowing.  This week however, my weight has stayed the same at 72kg, but my centimetres have increased.  Is there some fluid retention occurring because I have a period due next week, or have I put on some more fat?  No way to know really.

Last week my waist was 87cm this week it is 90.5cm.
Last week my ribs were pretty similar to my waist measurement so I didn't even bother recording it.  This week it is 86.5cm
My hip measurement has stayed constant at 105.5cm across the two weeks.

Wonder what these naught banana muffins are going to do to my stats for next week.  I'm now into week 8, my cravings shoulda been over, I hope this doesn't mean I have to go alllllll the way back to the start again. sigh.
Oh and that's it no more buying bananas, that's three weeks in a row that my carb loving kids haven't managed to eat them before they got all soft and mushy.  Maybe they are losing their carb reliance, hmmm.
