Quitting Sugar Day 15

Not to be prideful or anything...but I have to say I'm pretty impressed we've actually made it to day 15. There have been so many times in the last two weeks I could feel my body crying out for my friend sugar. Many times I've felt like everything would be better if I could just have some ice cream or even a strawberry or a little sugar in my coffee. So I keep thinking about the goal of this little experiment: breaking our sugar addiction and changing our taste buds.

I've been addicted to the sweet stuff so long I don't really know what life could be like without it. Sugar has sweetened my life for years. To be painfully honest, there's not many things that sweeten life for me in the same way sugar has. The more I search my heart, the more I am seeing that sugar has been my god. It has been my source of comfort, happiness, excitement, entertainment, companionship, and the center of so many of my thoughts. I'm finally beginning the process of considering something else to turn to for sweetness. But what could that be? ....hmmm, I think I already know :)

So the experiment continues.
