Thank goodness today is my quit day. Below is a photo of the candy that I ate on November 1st, one day after Halloween. Don’t ask how I got it!

Yesterday I didn’t eat that much sugar comparitively, but it was still quite a bit. Today I’m feeling it and woke up tired. I slept all afternoon from noon until about 3:30 PM. Soon I’ll go out and eat the last sweets for a long time.
Jason and Summer gave me a birhday cake. I had three slices and then left to meet Gwenn downtown for First Thursday. While waiting for the bus, I purchased sweet potato fries and a cheeseburger from Burgerville. Fast food will have to go since it’s laced with sugar…

At First Thursday (a monthly event in Portland where artists open their galleries to the public) I ate a handfull of M&Ms. After First Thursday, and back at Gwenn’s house, I ate another chocolate birthday cake and Tillimook ice cream. That was the last sugary sweet for 2005 and 2006. Here’s a photo:

Gwenn made fun of me saying, “You’ve blamed every bad thing in your life on sugar in the past few weeks. What are you going to blame now that you have quit?”

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.
