Yesterday was my first day off the Sweet Stuff. My greatest challenge was acting in that day instead of waiting until tomorrow. I just imagined myself stuffing myself with sweets and never being satisfied with any amount, no matter how great. I decided I did not want that to be me, so I cleaned house. I took a garbage bag which I had to double and I dumped (frozen fruit bars, fruit snacks, dried fruit leathers, m&m's, sherbet sorbet, pudding and any other sweet treat I had hidden in the house including a bag of jolly ranchers.). I looked at the bag and noticed that this would have been a weeks worth of my sugar supply and I saw the size of my addiction. I tossed the bag in the dumpster and proceeded with my evening. My first day off the Sweets was a great day, I ended up finding the energy to cook up a nice meal of black eye peas, brown rice and mustard greens. I ate my evening snack of V8, a WW string Cheese, and a small pack of goldfish crackers. I came in at 1200 calories for the day. I am looking forward to the Sweeter Side of Life without Sweets. There is life after sugar.
