Before You Quit Chocolate...
...get your iron levels checked.
After my last period started, my body collapsed in on itself. My doctor tested for oodles of different mineral levels, and we learned today that my iron is crazy low.
It is ironic to me that I got so sick three months after quitting sugar. I honestly wonder if my (relatively high in iron) chocolate habit was keeping me out of hot water.
Of course, I'm sure iron supplements are better for me, but this is still my first question in the anemia-recovery journey!

...We don't eat much meat in this household and I'm pretty sure my partner gets most of his iron from Milo. I have to take supplements on and off too (I find that taking them all the time isn't great). The aenemia fatigue creeps up on me until I'm lying on the floor, kids crawling over me, wondering why I am feeling so TIRED. Der.
how is your no-sugar status? how is life in general?
