I know you are probably absolutely tired of my talking about staying away from sugar but today is a good day and I just wanted to encourage people who are trying this that there are good days involved. Yesterday was really hard. I think my withdrawls were strong. I was cranky and tired and out of sorts. But today is totally different. I feel great actually and I didn't even exercise which always gives me a boost. Plus I have lost 3 of the 5 pounds I gained over Christmas which makes me feel even better.
Thanks to Sarah for giving me encouragement and telling me that it gets better after 3 days. That gave me hope and she was absolutely right.

Sugar is a tough mountain to conquer! Good for you! Way to go!
Yeah!! I knew you could do it!!!
Thanks to both of you actually for all the encouragement!
I am so glad you had a good day. It really helps. I know I should give up sugar as well but right now I am working on taking a break from gluten and coffee. I think I have an intolerance to the gluten and the acid in coffee. I feel so so much better when I avoid both but I am so emotionally addicted. I really appreciated what you said in your post a few days ago about LOVING food. I have really been thinking about that and my own love for food. Isn't it crazy all the things food means to us, but it's just food (sigh). Thank you for blogging about all this. I really appreciate it.
You know Anita, sometimes you can just do the basics. Giving up gluten would be really hard for me. While I only have a coffee once or twice a week, I definitely have an emotional attachment to it. There is just something so comforting about a hot cup of coffee. I am just trying to pray whenever I feel the urge to give in. And don't forget I allowed myself cheats. It helps me knowing that I only have 4 a week so I had better make it count!
