So – its been 2 weeks without Sugar. (With of course the exception of 85% cocoa Lindt Chocolate)
So I go through about 2 to 3 Lindt choc. bars a week, and fruit. But I have to say the cravings have now pretty much subsided. And this coming from a MAJOR sweet tooth addict. I think for some people to give up sugar it is on par with quitting smoking or something like that. It is TRULY addictive to have sugar.
It is amazing though how the cravings DO go away. And I feel so much better. May seems like a long ways away, in a way, but then its only just 9 weeks or so. So if you haven’t joined – whats the worst you will experience??
Delayed Self Gratification – can be hard. No cake or sweets (Yes, Book club might be hard tonite) – But you will feel SO good after that first 1 1/2 weeks.
So please chime in if you are IN!!
Hi Bonnie! Amber told me about you wanting an invite to our blog, and I would love to invite you! I just need your email. Mine is nordabarrowes @ gmail . com. So, anyway…I NEED this blog! I too am trying to get rid of the last ten pounds from our 8 month baby Odan (born July 16th). And I can honestly say sugar is my biggest weakness, and I was just thinking last night, I need to do a sugar fast for like a month or so! Every day I cave into some sort of sugary disaster be it cookies or cake or cupcakes. That darn bread store with the discounted pastries gets me every time! And it’s true, the more sugar I eat, the more I want. We have the Lindt 85% cocoa in our cupboard right now, Kendall’s favorite, but I never thought of using that with fruit to cure my cravings. I am starting today!
