I have been sugar free for over a month until today. I was really strict on how much sugar I would allow myself to have, food had to contain less than 0.6 or I wouldn't have it. I was sucking back the coke zero though and switched to pepsi max because I don't like the taste and that would make it easier to give up. I did that a few days ago, just got up one day and decided not to drink it anymore.
So, we are going to a party next weekend and I volunteered to bring dessert. I make muffins without sugar, so will be able to eat these but I'm also making a chocky mousse which has heaps of sugar in it. Did a test run today and ended up with all this mousse, so decided to eat some of it. Figured it could be the occasional party treat David talks about in the book. Yeah, right! Had a spoonful and was almost sick from the sweetness. Later on, kept finding myself going back to sneak more and more and even though I was feeling sickly, just had to have it. Ah, sugar. WON'T be doing that again!
After crashing for a couple of hours, I am now suffering a complaining liver and sucking back water to help cleanse my system quicker. If I ever needed proof of how much an addict I used to be, then I now have it.
