"In America...first you get zee sugar...then you get zee women..." - Homer Simpson
So far it has been more difficult physically than I would have expected. I knew that I was an emotional eater. I am all about the "I've had a bad day, and I deserve a cookie".
But I did not know that going cold turkey would give me such a nasty headache, or leave me feeling just physically yucky. This is what the voices in my head sounded like pretty much all day yesterday.
Head Voice #1: "Why am I doing this? I feel awful. I would feel so much better if I had a cup of coffee."
Head Voice #2: "I am doing to this to eliminate pain. Remember? Cutting these foods out will help the pain."
Head Voice #1: "But I'm in pain now! Who said this would help?"
Head Voice #2: "That lady with the medical degree on her wall."
Head Voice #1: "How about just one cookie?"
Head Voice #2: "No."
Head Voice #1: "OK..."
5 minutes later...
Head Voice #3: "I can't live this way! This is not normal. Why am I doing this?"
and so on...
At any rate, this is probably the longest I have ever gone without refined sugar in my life, INCLUDING the months I had gestational diabetes. My goal is three months, so I have 91 days left...
