So, to say I'm shocked is an understatement... I've already explained in my first post about how problematic my sugar addiction has become. I was not so happy the first week of this program because I couldn't run to my friend (chocolate) when I was feeling stressed or frustrated or tired or overwhelmed or whatever one of a thousand feelings I have on a typical day that makes me want sweets. But a really funny thing has happened to me...I've been at this for 17 whole days and guess what!?!
I'm feeling fine without sugar!
I seriously assumed that I'd be just hanging on with white knuckles for the full 8 weeks, not so patiently counting down the days when I could bring my friend back into my life. But, the other day I watched Brian reach into our candy jar (yeah, I know, not the best thing to have around when trying to be disciplined...) but he grabbed himself a treat and I didn't feel the need to kick him in the shin! I was so happy (so was Brian)!
It's amazing that habits really can be broken. What a relief!
Great news! It might actually be good to still have some candy around to know that you can be strong even with it around.
