Friday was my first day on my no artificial sugar kick (as in no candy, no sodas, you know the drill). No worries, I'm still going to have stuff- just not for the next two weeks and then after that, if I developed some self control, I will allow myself a bite here and there or just one day a week. So how did it go?
Well I slept for most of Friday so I would say it went ok since I was not awake long enough to crave any sweets. I simply could not muster any energy to do squat. I was dead. G laughed at me and told me to have a soda...nice support system I got. But I didn't- I'm hell bent on doing this.
Saturday was hell part 2, because I had a headache the whole day- so I stayed in bed and read. I literally finished two books.
G made fun of me (again) because I looked and talked like a lethargic fool all day. Seriously I made no sense and when I tried to sound smart, I forgot what my point was. If you realize, I totally misdated the giveaway the first time around. (Thursday July 12)
At one point I sat down and realized I was having chocolate, cake, twizzlers, chuckles, ANYTHING at least once a day. If I played tennis, I would allow myself two sweets as a reward. See how nice I am to myself?
Amazing what starting your day with a large diet coke does to you, and then have a couple more during the day to keep you going. And amazing what the after lunch sugar rush does as well. It has been an awakening (no pun intended) but I'm going to try this for at least two weeks to see if I can break the 'must have something sweet' habit. I am drinking iced tea with splenda- but figured that a) I can't drink tea without it tasting sweet and one splenda a day is not going to kill me.
Ok dont forget to enter the Giveaway...I'll be doing the drawing soon and after that? Another one! I have three other books to give away and a FREE mag subscription to a really cool magazine I found! (you see, I'm going to subscribe and they are giving me two for the price of one so I'm giving one to you!)- I'm telling you I have been a reading maniac and the lack of sugar has apparently made me nicer- nice enough to want to share; and I don't do that often.
So take advantage of these offers before I have a piece of chocolate and turn into a greedy monster again.

Good luck with the ban on artificial sweeteners! That's a tough one.
Dude, I'm right with you. I have put on some poundage and I'm addicted to sugar. I gave it up once for 2 weeks and plunged into a depression. If you start to get depressed, eat something sweet. Try pears or fruit, they have natural sugars.
I just had a chocolate covered donut. I'm out of control.
Put me down to be qualified for your book giveaway!
No sweets? Oh gosh--I could never do it. Good for you!!
I've been on the Atkins diet for 2.5 months now. No sugar, no flour, no potatoes! Now, that is hard! But I've lost 18 lbs. I'm at a stand still but I haven't been exercising, I know if I was I would have lost more by now. Good luck!
Good for you! I'm officially on a no pop kick as of today. I normally go a LONG time without it, but I've been eating out WAY too often lately and then always end up with it. Candy isn't that hard because I just never buy any. If I happen to NEED something in the evening, I just grab a small handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips from the freezer. Perfect!
