Since going off the sugar all that I notice is that junk food is everywhere!
While walking down the street yesterday I got hungry but there was nothing but junk food to be found. However, after really looking, even a place like Walgreens had a section with some cheese and a few things that weren’t sweevil (sweet’n'evil).
Also realized that spending money on sweets (or whatever you might be addicted to) is part of the addiction. Maybe that’s not news to you, but for me the act of BUYING sweets was almost as fun as eating them. Figuring out which snack to have, where to purchase, and when to eat is all part of the game…that I’m no longer playing.
I didn’t sleep well last night, am having trouble making simple decisions, and am quite anxious. Whether my symptoms are directly related to my diet is questionable, but we’ll see over time if things change as my body is replenished with healthier nutrients.

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.
