Wow, to be honest I am impressed that we have made it to day 5. In the grand scheme of things 5 days isn't a long time, but it's a great start for us! I knew this was going to be tough, and it has been. There are so many moments where I feel like my body is calling for something sweet. I'm trying to recognize however, that my body is just fine. It's my mind that is so desperately missing its sweet fix. I know many people who say they don't really care for sweets. They can take 'em or leave 'em. I am definitely not one of those people....oh, how I wish I was.
Sugar is my drug of choice. Somehow everything just feels better when sugar is involved. I can sense that my relationship to sugar is profoundly unhealthy because rarely do I have something sweet and feel satisfied when it is gone. I always want more. In one sense, it's almost easier to not have any sugar at all because I don't have to face the obsessive want for more after it's gone. (or at least I keep telling myself it's easier!) I've replaced my daily sweet treats with an excessive amount of nuts. I know filling my sugar void with nuts isn't really a good idea, but for now I'm taking it one step at a time.
So here we are on day 5. This is hard. But we haven't given up yet. Let the no sugar experiment continue!
