JUST SAY NO!

i love sugar. i love sweets. but i hate the way they make me feel. i hate the way i crave them and feel out of control. i hate the way i can't "just say no".

i'm a goal setting person. i do best when i set a clear goal, write it down, keep track along the way and let other people know so that i'm accountable. it helps build a stronger commitment. 

so, here it is. my commitment: for the next 30 days i'm committing to give up sugar. obviously i can't give up ALL sugar because it's in almost everything, so let me specify as much as i can. no desserts, no candy, no soda, etc. i'm also going to include obvious junk foods such as fast foods. i just need to get it out of my system and this seems like a good way to do it.

now is the perfect time to do it because we have no plans to go anywhere anytime soon. no one to visit and no one visiting, and no major holidays coming up. there IS a birthday coming in two weeks (two actually), so i'm calling a cheat day for that right now, but only on the 13th and a normal sized piece.

i can't promise i won't mess up, but i can promise i will jump back on the wagon as quickly as possible. i'm partly doing this because it's something i've needed and wanted to for a long time, and partly to support my sister who's doing something even more bold and brave. you can read about it here. i couldn't join her in her fast, due to a lot of reasons, but i wanted to support her in a way i could.

i can do this!
