After 4+ weeks of severly limiting my sugar, I need to start from scratch.
All of a sudden one day, I had this thought that maybe I didn't need to decline the cookie being offered by an elderly woman. I thought I could be polite and accept it and just not eat it. That day it worked.
But next time, that turned into "maybe I can have one bite". Since then, I've been trying other treats. I have had a mini muffin, chocolate, 1/2 of a s'more, more cookie, etc (not all in one day).
The crazy thing is that none of it was satisfying. None of it was worth it, but I felt out of control.
I woke up this morning feeling out of sorts and thrown off because although I was hungry, I only wanted sugary foods.
So it's been confirmed that I can't do "just a little" processed sugar.
With that said, I do have some NSVs to share:
- I can wrap a towel around myself
- I am slowly gaining endurance/strength (went swimming with my niece for over an hour yesterday and could have stayed out there way longer)
- Some clothes are too big
