of no sugar (except for that piece of dark chocolate almost once a day). This was supposed to be for the month of May. I wondered today if I would just keep going, because now it has become a habit. I made my rules simple for me and that's why it worked this time.
1. No sugar desserts, crackers or sweets
2. One or two pieces of dark chocolate
3. Limit simple carbs
4. Limit fruit. I have to say this is the hardest. Some days it is easy and other days I realize I have eaten 3 or 4 servings of fruit. Today was much better.
For the second time this week, I have no headache. I started out with one, but it went away.
I have found myself drinking more water.
5. Give myself some leeway if we have a frozen pizza (thin crust) once in awhile or some chocolate sauce on my banana. But I remember that second one tasted like "too much sweet" for me. So I am not tempted again.
6. Setting a limit of one month made it easier to start and now I think it will be easier to stay on it.
There are 5 more days to go and I am not "anticipating" the end so I can pig out again. I might just stay on it for awhile longer.
