Hey, Level1, I'm with ya. I quit drinking a few weeks ago and my sugar cravings went through the roof and have been showing up as a real lack of power in my life! I keep thinking I need the comfort that only a sugary treat can give me, especially at my push-button moments: lonely, angry, tired, or sad. But then I have a little sugar and it only makes me feel worse. So I have a little more, and so on and so on. It has become my new alcohol -- the pitcher plant to which my little fly legs are stuck so it can eat me.
So today, November 1st, I am beginning a 30-day trial -- No Sugary Treats!
I am preplanning one wagon day: Thanksgiving, but other than that, I hereby declare:
No Sugary Treats in November!!!
I have a pretty strong feeling one month of abstention will do a pretty good job of loosening sugar's insidious hold on my soul. Wish me luck.
