off with some sugar.
Over the past few months I have tried to limit my ammount of sugar intake and have felt really good. However, this weekend we went to a dinner party and I made an Apple and Cinnamon cake plus Vanilla cupcakes and brought the left overs home. Since then I have had a slice of cake or cupcake every night! Even though I am eating it in moderation my body is craving the sugar like never before and only now am I realizing the effect it has on my body. I have this "junky" mentality that has kicked in " I want cake... I want cake".. you get the idea.
I know this can't be good for me, and my husband is always telling me to stop so, I am finally taking the plunge and am giving up processed sugar till at least the end of the school term. I know it won't be easy- today is only Day one and all I keep thinking about is cookies!
Anyone done this before? Do you have any tips on giving up the extra sugar? Want to join me?
But...surely a little of what you fancy? Never had to give up sugar thankfully but 20 years ago I had to give up all things gluten. Knowing I simply couldn't have it and I'd get terribly sick if I did seemed to be all I needed. Nothing to do with willpower at all. So...I was thinking...shock treatment? you know...just a few volts to make it unpleasant when you go near it?
ReplyDeleteNah...eat a cupcake for goodness sake! Wouldn't want you to get bad tempered without it :-)
