“Sugar Free” Is Unpackaged

November 27, 2005

I’d like to quit eating products (preserved packaged foods) and only eat natural foods. It’s a dream, I know.

You are reading my open thought process.

My food consumption has increased after going off the sweets. Sometimes fast food seems very appealing. So far I haven’t given in to the fast food lure, although it’s partially because I couldn’t find a fast food place, one day recently, when I was particularly hungry and weak.

I have been eating other types of food in lieu of sweets. Enjoying eating is going to be especially tricky do during Christmas week as my family gatherings are traditionally sweet infested. Eating something other than sweets, when I want sweets, works for me FOR NOW.

The replacement system that is my current coping mechanism is not permanent. Who wants to spend a year eating nothing but carbs only switch back to refined cakes, cookies, and candies in early 2007?

Take things one step at a time. First quit the hard stuff. Next reduce the intake. Cookies and snacks were the hardest for me to cut out and now that they are gone it’s all about eating more healthy food less often coupled with keeping fit.

So, I take it one step at a time. That means Cheerios will have to go soon. Oh how I’ll miss you my sweet, sweet Cheerios.

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.
