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.
