I have accomplished the impossible! TWO whole days without treats! Yes, that is a miracle for me. I am feeling pretty happy with myself. I really have had to exercise some self control to keep myself from eating sweets.
I am a sugar addict. TOTALLY and completely addicted to sugar. And when I eat a treat, like a cookie or a piece of cake, I can't eat just one. If I bake a batch of cookies I will just keep eating them till they are gone. If I have a piece of cake I usually have two and then continue to have pieces every so often until it is gone. Give me a bag of candy and I will finish it. I can't stop. Once I put something sweet into my body I just crave more and more of it until it is gone and I CAN'T have anymore because there isn't any.
This is the reason I have decided I have to cut out all sweets. I have decided to go off all sweet treats for a month, and then at that point I MIGHT add in a little dark chocolate. My sister has suggested I give myself a few days during the year that I can eat sugar on. Days like big holidays or birthdays. I am thinking about that. I don't want to allow myself any sugar. But I also don't want to be miserable on holidays because all I can think about is the pumpkin pie I can't have. I think I will have to see how it goes. It will all depend on if I think I can eat sugar for JUST one day at a time or not. Anyway, just a heads up that I might add in a few special days to indulge in my favorite treats.
Great start! Those first few days are always the hardest.
