Roberta. Remember how I used to finish the Christmas box of candy before noon? Well, in the last couple of years, I have had several streaks of a few weeks with no sugar at all. (Why, you might ask, not just one long streak? Too long a story.) Anyhow, I have found that the second day is only half as hard as the first day, and so on until in a week or two sugarless is a habit. And each new streak is easier to start, after just one cold turkey success of a month or so.
Hey--50 million Americans have quit smoking!
Onward and upward! Keep warm
A blog where we can discuss our goals regarding health, fitness, food and general wellness. This should be a fun space where we congratulate each other for a job well done, plan fitness activities to do together, and ask for extra support when we need it. Advice is good - but only when asked for! Feel free to post as much or as little as you like according to your own goals.
It's crazy how easy it is to eat a box of chocolates. It used to drive me crazy when my roommate in college would take a bite (one bite!!) out of a chocolate and put the rest back in the fridge for later. I still don't know how she did that. I'm feeling better today, with about 60 hours of sugar free behind me. I can do this. It does not make me happy to eat sugary stuff. Really, it doesn't.
