One thing that really works for me is just getting outdoors. Even if I’m just walking to the store, feeling the wind, looking up at the clouds, seeing the sunset; just makes me feel happy to be alive and well, even if all I’m doing is picking up some eggs. Not really ‘living’ as opposed to existing, but it reminds me that there’s a whole world out there, waiting for me.
So I just figured I’d go cold-turkey. I didn’t take any sugar in my coffee, resisted the chocolate chip cookie I usually have for first break, and didn’t put any ranch or mustard on my roast beef sandwich. Then I forgot and I ate a piece of banana bread. So everybody… if sugar cravings aren’t constantly reminding you of the lack of sugar, don’t do what I did and just forget you’re cutting out the sweet stuff… because you end up eating the banana bread.
