Ok, so I am off the sugar. I've been detoxing this week and it hasn't been pretty. My main addiction...SODA! I don't drink that fake diet stuff, I drink that good old straight from the cane (then refined of course) S-U-G-A-R! Oh how I miss it! It's getting easier. It's kind of like when you and a boyfriend break up and you have to get used to not having the companionship anymore. Everyday that I continue on I find it easier to say "no" to temptations that are always thrown my way (especially at work). I work with food and soda ALL DAY LONG! Days 1 and 2 were especially hard, ending in migraines. Days 3 and 4 there were no headaches. I decided to do this because I want to make healthier choices. Yes, I know soda isn't all that bad...when you drink it in moderation. I'm not so sure I can do that. So from now until further notice, I won't be drinking it. Although my mouth waters for it, every day! I even had a dream last night that I was at my parents house (this coming weekend) and they were having a get together. I momentarily lapsed and started drinking this:
Jessica's worst addiction
I am proud to say that in my dream I did think about whether (since I had already taken a drink) I wanted to stop drinking it and drink water, or continue on because I had already screwed up. I don't remember which I chose, because there were other things going on in my dream, but I'm glad I at least stopped and thought about it. Dustin says that I should treat myself on the weekend and just buy the mini soda cans and drink those, I said no. That will totally defeat what I am trying to do. I need to cut it out completely. Maybe I'll reintroduce it at some point! Good-Bye for now my friend! :o(
