I took my invisibility away with this post this afternoon:
Today is day 30 of eating 98% (refined) sugar free. (The 2% was from condiments/sauces) I did however eat natural sugar such as fresh fruit. I have had zero ice cream/cookies/cakes enter my body. :) Yes- I am tooting my own horn.
Of course it got lots of likes and comments. I mentioned if they wanted to read my blog to please let me know. I sent out several links to the commenters. My cousin and an online friend asked how I felt. My answer was ummm...normal? LOL Really though I haven't thought about it. With the questions asked I did realize that I am a lot happier. I don't have many mood swings. I cannot think of a moment of depression this month. I do think of the invisible feelings but that is normal for me. I am sure many of you can relate even. One of the best side effects for me is the lack of cravings. I do have a hankering for something sweet from time to time but I can ignore it usually ,or distract myself. I can ignore sweets without much thought most of the time. I just don't have negative (to me) cravings. That alone is a blessing to me. Now my cravings are for healthy vegetables.
I am by no means perfect and I will never claim to be. I have had things that I shouldn't- they just were not sugar based. I plan on writing another post to sum up my 30 days as soon as my hellions are contained and I can think without hearing the loud play.
Excellent work! Getting rid of excess sugar is an incredible win. I found for me too, the less I have, the less I want it, and it affects everything else. Woo hoo!
