My latest challenge to staunch my addiction to junk, sweets and treats began yesterday and will last for 55 days - when I'm going to break my sugar fast and have some birthday cake and ice cream.
I didn't have any troubles yesterday, save one minor craving that jumped in my head for cookie dough. It went away quickly enough when I realized how absurd it was . . . until later that day when I was digging around in the refrigerator to discover a package of those break 'n' bake cookie dough squares, that I'd totally forgotten were in there. Oops! Maybe not that absurd after all, but I didn't eat them so it's okay.
Sadly this also means I'm counting down the days until my 38th birthday - which I try not to get too hung up on because I sure don't feel that old. It's just a number, it's not a reflection of who I really am.
Currently the plan is to allow myself some sugar (hopefully without the binging) from my birthday until November 1st -yes, that gets me through Halloween - when I will start up again. I haven't begun to think how brave I can be through the holidays. One challenge at a time.
