So, while Traby and I are very similar in a lot of ways, we're pretty different gals. I love to write and it's helpful, but for Traby sometimes, it gets her into the mire, but I'm glad she's popped in for some words!
I LOVE the mini-goals. I might try that myself. I'll put on my thinking cap tonight and decide what rewards might be motivating, besides the obvious ones like health, which sometimes seem so nebulous that they're hard to imagine. I think that's a brilliant idea! Woohoo!
My first week went well, in terms of making consistent choices and taking care of me-in-hunger which is my most vulnerable state. Emotionally/spiritually however, I was a bit of a wreck. There was also some PMS involved. But I really see my coming down from sugar every day (many days 2-3 times a day!) as a kind of detox period. Not sure my husband buys that, but it feels nearly as psychologically dangerous as I might imagine drugs or alcohol detox is. I don't get the intense physical results of detox, but the feeling that I'm out there, in the world, naked without any tools is definitely something I feel. I USE sugar. I am a user. And without it, the world feels a bit scary. So resisting that temptation to use again, just for a moment of relief is pretty great. I have to keep saying no to sugar and yes to myself, my real sugar-free self.
