If possible, I’d have stayed in bed all weekend. My energy levels have are shot even after a full night’s sleep. I am over-eating but at least it’s good food. However, my stomach has been surprisingly upset and bloated. On Friday I had heartburn all day. I’m eating the same amount of real food (rather than candy/cookies) and it’s filling me to the brim. Gross.
The sugar cravings are strong after a meal when some kind of dessert was the norm. Today I was offered mocha and cookies after lunch. I refused. My host was surprised and offered again. Again I politely refused. Right now, even though I’m stuffed after dinner, I still want to eat something sweet.
I’ve been peeing a lot. I have to get up in the middle of the night or early in the morning and also go many times during the day. The first two days after quitting I was often hot and sweating despite the cold weather. In the next two weeks my body will go through many adjustments.

I realized I had a sugar problem back in 2003 after a weekend-long binge on raw chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate covered pretzels. As a result, I began trying to quit sugar but kept failing. Finally, I figured out a way to stay off sweet junk food for good.
