Stew and I sure are craving sugar...so badly sometimes!
We crave different things. He craves jam on his toast and biscuits etc. I crave chocolate, ice cream, flavoured yogurts etc I told him that he has good willpower and can stop at one square of chocolate so he can have one sometimes, or a little jam on his toast etc I think he's telling himself that this is like a competition and he will NOT be the one to cave! I am pretty stubborn when I want to, so we'll see how we go.
It's very hard sometimes. We get headaches, feel grumpy, have these cravings etc
I have lost 2kgs since last Monday. However, I'm not limiting portions really, just concentrating on getting through withdrawal. Then, I may find that my appetite control switch is working better so I can eat less overall???
The kids are still stunned with the thought that I'll never eat sugar again. I said, "I may have it every now and again but not for quite a while. I need to get over my addiciton first!"
I've read David Gillespie's 'Sweet Poison' and 'The Sweet Poison Quit Plan' books. This is about my journey into sugar awareness. I am the biggest sugar addict out so it should be quite a ride! [I took this photo at Yosemite National Park in the USA. I like the way that the river can go two ways here just like me, at a crossroad, trying to change my whole way of eating]
It's werid, I'm not always hungry but I just want something to eat.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Wow, 2kg down, well done you!! It has been such a change for your body, I admire your dedication ~ both you and Stew! Looking forward to reading the results of week two ~ yay for you, Sugar-Free Fi!! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Ros, for the encouraging words. It does help...
ReplyDeleteI think it'll come off slowly, though, Ros. Gillespie said it took him 2 years to lose the 40kgs. I don't have that much to lose - phew! - but it still will be slow. I hope so as I want my skin to adjust well.
Stew, me too!
