Not to blame my husband, but indirectly he is at fault for mt recent transgressions. He has desert every night after dinner and I guess I stared to feel like I was leaving myself out of this pleasure. So I decided in my infinite wisdom to have fiber cereal with strawberries as my desert. I guess I was thinking this was a low calorie treat that wouldn't rock my world too much. But, I feel so unhealthy lately and off balance (really effecting my digestion) but I can't seem to shake this horrible habit! I KNOW how bad this is for me but I feel like a junky who HAS to have it or I'll go into widthrawl or something! I'm writing this message to come clean and perhaps reach for help with my addiction. I know there are so many other things I can have as a treat that are much better for me but I am out of control.

Perhaps someone can relate to my problem and provide some support/guidance if possible. Thanks for any help.

PS: The cereal seems to help me relax and helps me sleep (trying to stop sleeping pills)-obviously the carb load is helping with this.

Maureen, try Zone cereal with berries and milk or yogurt. Work the blocks into you'd total for the day and all should be good. :)

My wife will have Greek Yogurt (Protein), some almonds (Healthy Fat),
and defrosted frozen blueberries/mixed berries - as her desert, 1 block late snack.
