I FEEL GREAT!!!!
Like, totally - completely - amazing - kind of great. And I knew, I had finally turned the corner of my sugar detox.
Thank goodness because the weekend was bad. So bad that you know those little donuts in the white bags? They come in 2 flavors, chocolate or powdered sugar. I saw those while in the grocery store over the weekend and had the overwhelming urge to rip open the bag, sit down right in the aisle and polish off the whole thing. Gross.... Talk about a processed food that is terrible for you...
So it took 5 days for my body to finally reset itself. The best part was that I didn't have to completely deny myself sugar or even sweet foods. If fresh fruit didn't satisfy my craving and I drank a glass of water I would simply have a square of 70% dark chocolate (3g of sugar) or half of a Larabar where the sugar comes from unprocessed/uncooked dates.
Now I can look at cookies, candies, sweets, etc and NOT have the overwhelming urge to inhale them instantly. It's more like "Hmmm, okay..." and I continue on my way.
I was also able to tighten my belt another notch. I haven't lost any weight, nor am I trying. That is simply how much sugar bloats my tummy. Usually I'm binging on sugar every 2-3 days so my body never has a chance to truly "de-bloat".
So for those of you actually reading this (which I hope you are enjoying). Keep it up! Your feedback is part of my motivation to stick this out until the end of the month!
P.S. There are some Sugar Sweet Challengers who are looking for healthy granola bar recipes. If you come across any please post to our facebook page. Thank you!
