Confessions of a Sugar Addict day 8/42

Eight days in. It's easier.

Most people are genuinely accomodating of my sugar fast and don't mind me skipping many little luxuries to just eat my chicken salad...

I am satisfied, and I am barely craving a sweet treat after dinner. A cup of hot peppermint tea suffices if I need it.

I'm enjoying plain unsweetened yoghurt with a small amount of fruit, and salted peanuts with a few raisins as a mini treat. Yum.

I feel good, and feel thin on the inside, which goes hand in hand with proper nutrition. No more bloated, overfull or heavy tummies... satisfied, fed, and happy tummy instead ;-)

I've even lost a couple of kgs.

Day eight: day of continued endurance
Feel: good, clean, more balanced. Still have challenges everyday.
Temptation: the other night it was the tiptop 2L tub ice-cream on sale, and thinking of it smothered in caramel sauce and chopped nuts. I left the supermarket WITHOUT it.
Realisation: God is surely helping me in my moments of weakness. I actually can do life like this, have hard and bad days with they kids and not need a sugar fix. 
Prayer: Father I want a breakthrough that impacts me for life. Do away with this addiction completely and help me to find balance in food. Give me new eyes and transform my thinking. Help me give my body good fuel. I surely know the statement 'you are what you eat' is true.

And that's me!  Ps. I even had a yummy creamy homemade Indian curry this Week (I make authentic Indian from scratch) delicious!

Confessions of a sugar addict - day 3/42

Onto day three....

Feel: tired, a bit low energy, know my body is changing its sugar for energy conversion to a fat for energy one.

Temptation: everything sugary is calling my name today. Biscuits, muesli bars, icecream. I'm looking away and pressing through by keeping true to myself.

The other night, I dreamt of all kinds of sugary treats- like I was eating them. I kept waking up full of guilt and wondering if i had actually cheated or if it was just a dream!

Prayer: oh God. Help. Give me grace to get through the days that are hard, like today. Help me overcome. May I end these 42 days with a renewed mind when it comes to food and nutrition. Change the way I think!

Below- tandoori beef with coconut cream, my morning coffee with cinnamon and cocoa, and a pear and nutty snack :-)

39 days to go!
