Hey all, I just gotta post this to keep myself accountable. I was in that mental state where cravings where so strong I was sure I was about to binge on sugar. I decided not to go there this time. Putting it out there to concrete it.
thank you for writing this. Facing the choice of some chocolate calling my name or an apple, you have inspired me to take the apple! For all those in the group. I am wondering what your plans are for coping and getting through Halloween? all that candy?
@Aura82 throw out all the extra halloween candy
Or you Willem’s up eating it
That’s what I’m doing
I read when a craving hits walk in place 5 min
Squeeze a rubber ball
Drink warm tea
has anyone tried this to getcraving to pass??????
Yeah I tried yesterday, got a wave of needing sugar. Broke down and had a chocolate, but then felt a little sick from the sugar, and was able to say no to more. So, a half win? I think I have to just tell myself I will feel so much better saying no.
@Aura82
A full win in my world
Would have eaten more in the past???
Yeah, I would have gone chocolate crazy, all the while thinking, that "tomorrow I will sugar free" It has always been difficult for me to say no to the sugar rush.

@Aura82
are you willing to do a quick daily post
Keep each other sccountsble
This is day one for me
No sugar
This is not a diet
A change of lifestyle is more like it
I love the idea of doing a daily post to support each other. I also love being able to be honest when we do "slip" know that this too is a part of the process of habit change. I did have sugar today after a really hard half marathon. I know this is a trigger for me because I need carb refueling after, but sugar is unnecessary. Here I am starting anew.
@bluhming
yes the key is start anew and not beret yourself
I ate healthy today
I felt less anxious since self care calms me
My food tasted great since I was not full of sugar
Post daily y’all
Was not a perfect day but not terrible
I had 1 small slice of coffee cake at work
Wanted a larger slice but did not

Nice job on small portions. I was able to be sugar-free today.
well I didn't make it sugar-free today. Muffin for breakfast. Note to self, must pack breakfast each night before.
Today was a bad day for me....cupcakes and chocolates...sigh...tomorrow will be a better day, back to square one. I feel better because I have all of you here!
@Aura82 If you look at an overview of your health, the days done without sugar have benefited your health far more than a little slip up can damage it.
Keep it up everyone!
