Sugar Free For 112 Days!

February 23, 2006

They say it takes 23 days to make something a habit. I do want chocolate quite often but not enough to blow this whole deal. I’ve decided that I’ll eat ANYTHING I want between Halloween and my birthday. That’s 3-4 days so it’s not like I’ll never eat sugar again. But it’s possible I won’t want to eat sweets by then.

At this point I’m tempted from time to time to eat sweet substitutes. However, I know where that will lead so I have avoided doing so.

Thanks for the advice about proteins and carbs. My energy levels are better. Overall I feel more centered, more productive, and like I’m getting better at being in touch with my true dreams and goals. I’m eating an apple as I write this.

As for fitness and health, so far it’s been much easier to cut something out rather than add something. In other words, it’s easier to quit sweets and increase health than it is to add a workout regiment to our weekly schedule.

One step at a time. For some of you the removal of coffee is the first step. Then refined sugars. Eventually getting out and exercising is something you’ll not only want to do, but you’ll have the energy and it will feel good when you move!

I URGE you to try something now. Even if it’s not sweets that plagues you, reduce some negative thing in your life. Let go of cigarettes, drinking (both sugar based) or plain old s-u-g-a-r.

Do it! You know you can. You know you want to. If you can imagine it, you can do it. So start by imagining…
