Two Days Left

Two days left until I stop eating sweets. After eating a ton of Halloween candy, the main things I feel is overall muscle tension and extreme moodiness.

Halloween 2005

Woke up today feeling depressed, slow, lethargic, and in pain. My shoulder was hurting (still is) in the joint and my get-up-and-go stayed asleep in bed. This weekend I ate sugar freely, if not irresponsibly, and tonight will eat more sweets. Only a few more days until cold turkey quitting time.

Did I mention that I’m really fidgety? When I’m sitting my leg is tapping a mile a minute. I also noticed that I’m pressing my front teeth together in anxiousness. Maybe it’s because tonight is Halloween and that spells CANDY!

Almost There

Been eating sugar freely and am feeling somewhat hopeless and depressed. As long as I don’t push too hard things seem to be okay but my walk today took all of my energy. Halloween parties this weekend will have me full of sugar!

Sugar Stories Workshop

Thanks to Whitney, Amy, and Aaron for attending the Sugar Stories workshop held this evening at Whole Foods. In the workshop we shared stories about our sugar consumption and (hopefully) discovered some new ideas and common themes about our behavior. I’m excited to learn more about other people’s sugar addiction and am working on making this blog interactive so that anyone can add comments.

After the workshop I nearly purchased something sweet (chocolate covered pretzels, chocolcate chip cookies) but managed to avoid doing so. Only a few more days…

Symptoms

The symptoms of sugar abuse are here. Last night, after eating ice cream and candy, my head was spinning. I dreamt all night long. My sleep was light and I had to pee a lot. In the middle of the night I got up to pee and it came out slowly. This morning my jaw was tight as I brushed my teeth and my gag reflex was especially sensitive when I brushed my tongue. All of this is unusual for me but common if I eat lots of sweets. What’s more is that my overall mood is lethargic and lacking motivation. If I didnt have plans for today, sitting around would seem like appropriate activity. In 11 days I’ll be off sugar completely and we’ll see the changes.

Catch Up

Catch up:
I’ve eaten all my trigger foods.
I’m now eating only small amounts of sugar if any.
Waking up is slow and heavy.
My quit date is coming soon.

The Shakes

While walking in town today I suddenly felt really hungry and purchased fast food. While eating my hands shook and it felt like without that food then and there, I would have had no energy to keep walking. Even though I ate fast food (which included a chocolate chip cookie) this is part of the slow decline to a low/no sugar diet.

Low

Overall mood today is low. Low energy. Slow to wake up. Anxious. Got two slices of chocolate chip banana bread and ate them. Was desiring Flipz Chocolate Covered Pretzels but I know they’ll make me feel sick so didn’t get any. Even thought I’ve eaten dinner I still want something more to “satisfy” my system.
