I went 11 days sugar-free which is pretty impressive considering what a chocaholic/ice-cream-aholic I am. I took a break over the Labor Day holiday, celebrating with lots and lots of sugary goodness. But honestly I’m ready to do it again. My friend Patti sent me this and I feel up to the challenge of going 21 days straight. Also, I’ve been meaning to read this book.
My whole life has revolved around dessert; it truly gives me a high. I’d call hot chocolate, ‘a little cup of happiness.’ Sugar tastes so damn good. But I also like how I’m winning this war against a serious addiction. Multiple times a day, I was trying to figure out what cookie or ice-cream flavor or cheesecake I was going to eat. How insane is that?
It’s rather surreal, but I feel really focused having cut the crap out. I’m healthier and have less mood swings. Poor Franco is currently sick. Dean, in turn, caught the baby’s cold. I’m the healthy one, when normally I would be the first to get sick.
21 days starting today. Wowee! This is exciting.
I wish you tons of luck and success on this and not sure if I could go a day let alone 21 without sugar in it, because I am seriously a sugar addict here. I have lessened the amount by not buying as much to have in the house, but still don’t think I could completely cut it out and quit cold turkey.
Wow that’s great, well done! I could definitely do with cutting back on sugar as well!
That’s wonderful! Glad you’ve enjoyed the limitation on sugar and hope the 21 Day Detox works for you 🙂 I can’t limit sugar the way all those programs want you too, including breads and such – It became too much of a hassle with my daily routine, which is none. 🙂 Best of luck on your journey and have a great one Catherine! -Iva
I am so joining you on this challenge. Yesterday I ate 4 smore’s and today I gobbled down 2 blueberry biscuits with icing on top. This will be difficult.
I’ll be following along. I’m sure something like this should be in my future. I’d be curious about the energy levels. And also coming back to sugar after the detox and finding that I don’t love it as much as I used to love it. That would be nice.
Good luck with your 21 day challenge! And I hope that Dean and Franco are all better very soon!!
Oh my goodness! Go you! I could NEVER give up sugar. I’m a huge sugar addict. I think I would die. I would at least have to be back on the caffeine and alcohol! 🙂
Good for you!!! It will be a wonderful thing to feel like you don’t “need” something sweet every day. They say it takes 21 days (is that right) to break a behavior so it looks like you are there and this is just icing on the cake (no pun intended!!!).
