Ok, I am not saying it was easy. The first four days I had an horrible headache. And if I hadn't written 31 days on my chalkboard at work and made a big deal of marking through each day without sugar with a big slash, I probably would have caved. We had cake, cupcakes, candy, etc. in the kitchen big time for December. And I won't even mention the delicious caramel apples at Randalls that I use to partake of (I ate the caramel and dumped the apple).
The fact of the matter, is I am always blue in December. That's funny, because December is my birthday month and I love my birth date. But the whole aspect of Xmas, Family, etc. leaves me feeling blue. My mom and dad are gone....and while I used to always hate flying home for Thanksgiving and Xmas......well, I miss it terribly now. Thank goodness I have my two sisters living in Houston. We do try and make a great day of it and this year it was wonderful.
But getting back to the sugar. Or NO SUGAR. Besides the fact that I lost 10 lbs. (how much sugar was I eating), the best result of "no sugar" is my attitude. I am go much "gentler"; not prong to outbursts of anger. I have been in a good mood since about the second week I gave up sugar. I did have three documented "no sugar" outbursts at work during the first few days, but now it is smooth sailing. So much more energy, enthusiasm, and ok, I'll say it, zest for Life.
Don't Eat it, you'll like it.........
