I have decided to tell you about it through a new way of blogging, commonly refered to as "vlogging" (video/blogging). This is my very first shot at shooting a video. Hopefully my ramblings make some sort of sense to you.
I hope you enjoyed by very first "vlog". I really thought I would feel something huge when I finally ate something sugary. I thought maybe I would feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders or maybe I would feel intense guilt or disappointment in myself. Maybe I would feel a rush of happiness or satisfaction...but no. I felt none of those things. I just felt like me. There were no real big emotions for me. I just decided that it didn't taste the way I thought it would (oh and I got lots of compliments on my rice krispie treats so it's not that they were bad or anything...hehe) and I'm glad I ate it now because I don't feel like I HAVE to eat sweets and I don't feel like I'm depriving myself either. I don't know when I will eat something sugary again, but I don't think it will be very often just because I want to take care of my body and give it the fuel it needs while enjoying what I eat at the same time.
I haven't given up all sugar, but I am really trying not to have any desserts. The longer I go, the less I miss them. I hope that even if I go back to allowing myself to have them after this year, I'll at least have more control. Like you said, they don't taste all that special. And when you think about what it's doing to your body, well, it's just not worth it. At least most of the time, it's not!
