Lent begins on Wednesday, and so does my no sugar round two. If you couldn’t tell my quest had become somewhat lacklustre in the last week or two. I however broken some life long bad habits. I have stopped eating biscuits after dinner and I am not half as dependant on sugar as I was before this journey began. As of Wednesday I will begin logging and tracking my intake because I haven’t been taking responsibility for what I have been eating, leading to me feeling lethargic and down. 😦
I have actually been a bit depressed in the last few days, (sparked by silly things) then I begin feeling insecure and emotionally hungry. I eat too much, then I feel fat. It’s a bloody cycle.
I met some friends on Sunday, who I absolutely LOVE but by the end of the day I felt like heifer. They are great but super slim and very into their health and weight, which is great but just makes me so self-conscious.
Today, I honestly felt as though I had gained a stone over the last couple of days. One day I feel slim and attractive the next I feel huge and hideous. It’s ludicrous really! I don’t know, I don’t feel as though I have anyone that I could truly confide in and trust, that I want to talk to- once I’ve talked about it that person will always know that I have got serious issues. I’m not a fan of highlighting my weakness’. I have started toying with the idea of going to talk to someone about my low self esteem .
😦
Good luck! I will send some encouraging thoughts your way as you cut sugar. Are you getting any support from an actual program? If I ever do a sugar detox, I will probably follow this one: http://balancedbites.com/sugar-detox but I am not that brave yet!
Oh thanks! Yeah I’m kind of following that I guess but I am having dairy and maybe some white carbs. 🙂 x
Ironic, I hadn’t given up anything for lent in decades and decided to give up soda because the sugar was too much. After only a few days I noticed a difference and feel much better. Stick with it and good luck.
