It was only a couple of days ago I was blogging about giving up sugar. So smugly, I told you about how I was even giving up diet coke! How virtuous of me!
Well, I made it four days, which to be fair, is better than I thought it would go. Today, not only did diet coke make a triumphant return, but so did a bunch of lollies (does that translate for the rest of the world? I think for Americans it’s candy, Brits it’s sweets?), AS WELL AS a giant chocolate cookie. If you’re going to binge, do it in style.
Needless to say, I now feel slightly sick. I’ve also decided I’m never allowed to try meth, as clearly I make a terrible addict.
P.S. Tell you what though, sugar is great for fuelling fast typing. First draft of book two is almost done!

OH! You are stronger than me! I have taken to drinking alot of water the last few years, but I still have to have my Diet Coke once in awhile. I typically have one a day, maybe skipping occasionally and maybe having 2 occasionally as well. And sugar … my lovely! I love chocolate soooo much. I could never give it up. I do resist it alot, but I have treats at least once a week. 🙂

What is it about soda that’s so addictive? It’s been the hardest thing by far!

Too true! And chocolate in your coffee – switching from mocha to latte has been a sad, sad change. I still ask for marshmallows though 😉

Sure, sugar is everywhere. No matter how much you try to resist from it, you can’t. Even the sugar-free products are filled with lots of magic sugar, which is harmful to our health. So, I guess it’s just a matter of taking them lesser than the usual diet like I did. For example, I love cookies that much. But, I have to be conscious enough to take less. So from 5 cookies, I am now down to 2. Just be consistent with this limit. Anyway, we all need sugar. It’s our energy booster. So, don’t inhibit yourself much to sweets. Just limit the quantity your body requires and be consistent. After that, everything will be fine. 🙂

That’s such a good point about the “magic sugar” (I’m always going to call it that now). For ages I thought it was an ok cheat, but apparently not, and now it’s quite brutal trying to cut down. But you’re right, everything in moderation.

Yes, Libby! Too much of everything is bad. 🙂 That sounded like a universal law or something 😀 😛

I love sugar. LOVE. But I can do without it for a time if I have to. Not too long ago did a ten day cleanse that was no sugar, wheat, meat, and a whole list of other things I enjoy eating. My return to cake looked something like your picture up there (and with far less tan). 🙂

That sounds super tough, well done with sticking with it for ten days! Bet your body thanked you for it.

I’ve been trying to give up soda but it’s been difficult. I think the most I’ve done without soda is a day and a half:). But try try again:)

As a person who’s also crazy about sugar, I can relate to your struggles. I don’t think that I can ever go sugar-free for even a day! Sugar is everywhere!
