It has been a week and a half since I have posted. During the Thanksgiving holidays I was not 100% sugar free for 4 days. I did not go crazy. I had a flavored coffee creamer on the four days and I had ice cream one day. I had Lobster that had sugar in the sauce because I could taste the sweetness. I did not have cake or cookies or white bread or white rice.
I do not feel guilty because I had planned on having some sugar. I got on the scale on Monday and did not lose weight. I thought that might happen because I did have some sugar but it could also be that my body is just catching up to the weight loss of the first two weeks. At least I did not gain weight.
I am feeling much better. My bathing suit fits better and today when I leaned on my hand I noticed that my cheeks were smaller. I believe I may be burning fat. Two people said I looked better but I do not know if they were being nice or not because they both knew what I was doing via my diet.
Now my appetite has not been the same as prior to my eating sugar. It just amazes me that I could go so long without eating. At times I do not even feel like eating. Yes, I just said that. I do not believe those words have been in my vocabulary in many years.
I do keep up with drinking water. No matter how I do not want to eat some days I make sure that I drink at least a gallon of water. This week I started drinking Deionized water which turns out to be pure water. I like it and I can taste a difference from my filtered tap water. I feel more hydrated. The way I measure my hydration is by a medication I take. It makes my mouth dry for most of the mornings. The last few days I have not had the dry mouth.
Today I consumed:
1 Carnival squash roasted with butter and cinnamon
7 Sea Scallops sauteed in coconut oil
lots of water
Nothing is sweeter than you!
