Hi Fit Friends,
Wow! This week was hard! I didn't realize how addicted to sugar I was/am! I started off shoving chocolate in my face in preparation of my dietary restrictions. I practically made myself sick and I realized that's just what people do when they are planning on starting a diet. I've done it before; ate a ton of food knowing that I wouldn't be able to eat, or better yet, overeat for x number of days.
The first 24 hours were rough. I was constantly thinking about sugar, candy, chocolate, desserts, etc. I was trying to justify having some - "I'll only eat a bite", "it's not really off limits because it's healthy dessert", "it's only 100 calories", on and on and on.
By day 2 I had a revelation - I decided to choose to not eat sugar. Now you might wonder what's the difference between skipping the sugar and choosing to not eat it. It's all in your mind. Once I made the decision that I could eat sugar, but I was choosing to not eat it, it set me free. I was free to eat sugar at anytime, I just didn't want to at that time. Now, I'm not saying I didn't struggle and have to talk to myself, but it was a lot easier once I freed my mind.
How did you do? Did you give up any addiction? Fill us in.
Have a happy Easter and if you decide to - eat some Easter candy.
Just be sure to
Eat Intentionally,
Cindy

FAIL! It was Tuesday when I realized I had committed:( Seriously have issues over here. OK so I just got the AMEN solutions book. He calls that voice. ANT's (automatic negative thoughts). I personally think it is my middle name but that would be yet another ANT lol. Congrats on your success. You always inspire me:)
