Tomorrow I quit sugar

[OuchBollocks]

I am OuchBollocks and I am a sugar addict. Not for me one square a day or a frozen curly wurly to take the edge off, no. I have it, I eat it, I want it more.

Last year I quit sugar for New Year, and stayed off minus one or two teeny slips until I got pregnant with DS, then being off alcohol and caffeine combined with the summer heat made the lure of a cold Fanta too hard to resist. Then I broke my leg and was bed bound and in pain and people brought chocolate to the hospital, and the meals all came with dessert, and then I had DS and more chocolate, then Easter and more chocolate, and although I've managed to drop a dress size so far with the 5:2 diet I need to jack in the white stuff. I am going to Ibiza in September '18 and I want to feel confident.

God help me,it's going to be hard. The rules are:
No sweet drinks, including artificial sweeteners
No chocolate, sweets, icecream, cake, sorbets, pastries, jam, marmalade etc etc
No crisps
Read labels of sauces carefully to check sugar levels.

I will update this thread for my own personal records. I am going to kiss sugar goodbye with the slice of cheesecake that is waiting for me after dinner. Goodbye sugar, it's been fun :(

Haven't seen the other thread yet, will have a hunt for it.

I've done well so far with not having any sugary snacks when at home. I did have a scone with jam and cream on my first day back at work, but they were provided by my new boss so thought it was only polite...

I'm in this for the long haul so am focusing on cutting out the snacks and drinks first, am not worrying too much about my main meals yet.

How are you all getting on? I had temptation today as there were guests here for dinner. I did have dessert, but only a very small helping. However the balsamic and honey-glazed roast vegetables were to die for, and I may have had seconds thirds fourths of them!

I'm doing ok. Day five done, and no mishaps so far! We're meant to be going away for a night tomorrow, but I don't feel like it at the moment. Then I'm back at work on Thurs, which means six days on aeroplanes and in hotels, which is always more difficult.

That can't be easy honey - I find it tricky enough at home, but hotels and planes would be much harder. I know you've managed before though, so I've no doubt you can do it again! Good luck!
