So it's been 3 weeks since I quit sugar. And I have to say, up until this week, things were going pretty well and I wasn't finding it too hard. I started to ready my body, when I was full or when I had too much of one thing, and it was great.
I still however am craving sugar. Which is pretty normal since I haven't finished the 8 weeks yet. Last week, as I was cutting up fruit for the girls to eat for a snack, it was sooooooo tempting to take a little bite of the apple or have some of the mandarin But I haven't given in to those cravings yet, and I feel really good about that. I keep telling myself that it will all pay off in the end.
When I started this week though, thoughts crept in of "Do I really need to go through all this torture?" "Is it really worth it?" And as I read the IQS book again, these feelings are normal for this week. So it's so important to not give up. I know once I get through this week, it'll start to get easier. And in some ways it is.
So I'm definitely not giving up or giving in. And until the cravings stop, eggs and whipped cream are my friends! Oh, and chai tea! I've never liked chai tea much before, but now I love it! And it's so easy to grind up the whole spices in my Thermomix, and then warm the tea in it. My Thermomix makes going sugar free easy :)
Thanks again for readying :)
