January goal update

I don't really feel like I am failing but I wouldn't say my avoidance of sugar has been hugely successful.  I have allowed myself cheats and I will have to admit I went one over last week if you count my frosted miniwheats for dinner one night.  So that was last week.
Yesterday was the beginning on week 2, I really wanted a mocha.  There goes cheat 1, then we had pizza and I really wanted root beer, cheat 2.  So 2 down in the first day. 
Today, I inadvertantly tried my daughters cotton candy.  I really wasn't even thinking.  But I am not counting it.  I don't care, it was a miniscule bite.  Really, really small.  I am only disclosing this b/c I feel the need to come clean.
So that is how my avoidance of sugar is going.
But, there are some successes.  Usually when we go to my father in laws, I eat a lot of junk.  Ice cream, desserts, candy, pop, hot chocolate topped with ice cream (yummy!), you get the picture.  Lots and lots of goodies.  I had one dessert and one can of pop on my way home.  That was it!  So even though I went over a cheat last week, I did really good to control myself over the weekend even as I watched them eating my toffee that I brought them (so good!).
I will admit one more thing though, I felt kind of lousy monday.  After eating just a couple of things, it just didn't settle well with me.  Making me realize more and more how sugar affects me in a bad way.  Plus, it is making me see what a hold food in general has over me.  Something, I really want to conquer.  Because, I do like my sweets.  I am not doing this to give them up permanently.  Maybe I should but I really just want to get a handle on things.  I think some in moderation is key for me with all food.  And that is what I am trying to figure out.
