From deep in the trenches of Holy Crap, Where's My Damn Sugar?
Need sugar... We needs it, the precious! Yes, we hungers for it, we does. So delicious, so sweet. We wantses it. The fat hobbit denies it to us, she does!
That's a picture of me at 3pm this afternoon when I realized I couldn't have my damn cookies.
My lust for sugar knows no bounds, but I have maintained self-control and have not had a single treat all day. I did, however, have an organic soy and fruit smoothy and a piece of bread with honey. So while not a complete success, at least it's not a complete failure. I can deal with that. Progress before perfection and all that rot.
This giving up (thankfully not all but might as well be because it sure feels like it right now) sugar thing is the suck. The withdrawls are fairly mild, but my body hates me. I have not turned into the Bitch of Horridville that I had feared, but we'll see what tomorrow brings. I have a stash of chocolate chips in the cupboard for when I finally cave and make some cookies. With whole wheat, half the recommended sugar and half the chocolate, of course.
Did I mention this is the suck? But I'm proud of me. I have vowed not to ever get to a point when I need to ask the gremlins to bring mama her pryin' bar so she can lift herself out of the hammoc and fix them some hotdog casserole.
