Rethinking Sugar

I think I need to redefine what "Sugar Free" means to me.  This is what I'm not eating... until Saturday when I run a half marathon and then I don't care what I eat.  And then I think that I will try to keep it up MOST days of the week (like weekdays) until we go to Hawaii.

No soda
No candy
No chocolate
No cookies
No ice cream
No muffins/cake/doughnuts/baked deliciousness

There isn't a point in trying to stay sugar free for ever.  I like it too much, and I'm not willing to go without it for the rest of my life.  But I do need to cut a LOT of it out of my diet.  I tend to binge eat cookies and candy and I need to get that under control.

So, if I can make it during the week, I can have some on the weekend.  That will be my goal.  And then hopefully it will help me not crave it as much as I do right now (like RIGHT NOW - someone brought in one of those huge chocolate cakes from Costco for a birthday and I have to walk by it to get more water and the smell is KILLING me!)

I need to get a new view on food.  Because I have always used food as a reward.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Those pictures are incredible. You'll have to let me know how you feel once you go back "on" sugar. The first time I went back on, it didn't taste as good as I remembered, and then I felt bloated and headache-y, and stuff. But that hasn't stopped me from eating it since! I need to go off again.
