Day 4 Again

Yep. I fell off the wagon. First, the Nutella stint. Then a day or so without sugar. Then a cookie or two. Then a day without, maybe. Then sugar every day, and MORE and MORE every day. My older sister came to town and made chocolates! She said I had to keep eating sugar until her visit (termed the "anti-spa") was over. I agreed. I tried my best to make myself eat everything I had been fantasizing about those 77 days. I did finally eat a Super Jos Louis and you know what? It looks like it's going to be crap, but I did enjoy it. I didn't manage to get the M&M Ice Cream Pie Slice in (as I had feared, it was non-existent by the time I got around to it!), nor the ice cream cone from my favourite ice cream parlour (now closed until Easter). But, I did well nonetheless.

The other good news is that I am indeed back on the wagon. I planned the duration of my relapse, and the restart date for no sugar.

I even went so far as to quit sugar again a full day BEFORE I had committed to.

And this time I have a buddy! My brother has quit too. We set our quit date together, and our end date for Hallowe'en. (I plan to have a good time again then, and quit again 'til the Christmas-type season.) My brother doesn't have the crazy sugar love like I do, but his teeth are ailing and he cannot access a dentist, so this is what he is doing.

The best news of all: it was soooooooo much easier to quit this time. No real cravings or anything. I am tired today (the dreaded Day 4, right?) but hell, I'm anemic, AND slept not a single wink last night to boot.

So anyway, that's where I'm at. Day 4. And loving it.
