Breaking the Sugar Addiction Progress Report
Published on May 12th, 2008 in Progress Reports with
I’ve been working on slowly weaning myself off sugar. And when I say slowly, I mean s-l-o-w-l-y. That’s just what I find works best for me. I’ve tried going off all sugar cold turkey in the past, but with disastrous results! I’m trying a completely different perspective I learned while reading Dr. Kathleen DesMaison’s book, Potatoes, Not Prozac. So, when you hear of me working on specific steps, I’m referring to this book.
I’ve been on the first step, breakfast, since April 30th. I’ve been eating my protein and complex carbohydrate, and it’s really helped hold me until lunchtime. I feel a lot steadier. I’m definitely not ready to go off all sugar yet, but simply eating a good breakfast just makes me feel a whole lot better and reduces cravings for sweets!
I feel ready to move on to the next step, which is keeping a food journal. Hmm, I’ve kept a food journal in the past but never stuck with it. Why all the fuss over it anyway? I’ll tell you in the next post…
