Good-bye Sugar: A letter to my cravings.

Sugar. I'm sorry. I really am.

But I've decided that you're not a good friend to have. You bring out the worst in me.

You're the first I'm telling about this, so I'd like you to keep it from grains and dairy, until I get a chance to chat to legumes. It's a tough thing I'm doing here, but I know you'll all understand, once these 30 days are up.

You have been there for me, many, many times. It's often you and grains that get me through a long day at work, a headache, or a bad night with Eli. But I can't keep using you like this! You deserve better. I deserve better. It's time for change.

Today, is the first day. It's the first of many in a new way of viewing food.

Eating when I'm sad? No more.
When I'm angry, tired or bored? 
NO. MORE.

I'm cutting you off.

I'm cutting you off until I learn to live without you, then maybe. Maybe, you can come back.
Not the way you're here now.

In a healthy, normal-portion-size-occasional-eating kinda way.

Now, I'm happy to let legumes know, cause we're not that close, but I'm a little too scared to tell grains and dairy myself. So, if you could do it, I'd really appreciate it. Tell dairy I am just devastated it has come to this. Especially cheese.

Cheers for that Sugar. I really am sorry.

Talk to you soon. Or not so soon.

Day 1 - So what's the big deal?

Today is the first day of my first attempt at the Whole30. (I say first attempt, because a lot of people do it more than once!)

I am feeling positive about killing the hold my cravings have on me and my energy levels. I used to think I did not have any cravings, then I took a look at what I was eating to keep myself awake, entertained, or from crying!

I choose unhealthy food.

I love healthy food. I just don't choose it.

Now I'm forced to.

Wish me luck.

It's going to be rough.
