No Sugar Challenge-Half Way

It's day 25 of the no sugar challenge-I'm officially half way through and it's been a lot easier than I thought it would.
While I still miss my condiments, the sugar cravings I thought would come, haven't eventuated. Don't get me wrong. I still fancy the occasional sugary food but resistance is easy. The desire for sugar is a simple mmm...I wouldn't mind a bit of that, rather than a mind obsessing craving for something, anything, sweet.
An interesting side effect-
In the last couple of days I've begun to feel hungry. Not often but definitely. This is something that hasn't happened in years. It has been a bit strange in as much as it doesn't creep up on me. It's just like one minute I'm not hungry or thinking of food and the next I'm starving fit to gnaw my own arm off. And it stays with me until I eat something. I'm really pleased. Once this settles down it will be a lot easier to follow the intuitive eating philosophy.
While the point of this challenge isn't weight loss it has been a pleasant side effect. I'm satisfied to be able to report that my weight has stabilized and started to, very slowly, reduce.

No Sugar Challenge-10 Days Down

It's been ten days since I started the no sugar challenge and so far, so good.
I was off to a rough start when the end of the first day saw the temptation of baked lemon tart. I passed on it but it was quite the trial. I really thought about going for it and starting the challenge the following morning but I reminded myself that there would always be something sugary on offer and I would probably regret the action as soon as it was over. So often things aren't anywhere near as nice as you think they'll be. Having cleared that hurdle I've not had any trouble resisting temptation since. The only food I really miss are condiments and I'm getting used to going without or using sugar free substitutes (usually vinegar or gravy).
The initial struggle has been worth it-I have stopped that creeping weight gain.
Only 40 days to go.
