Since making an effort at this I have lost 6 pounds, with no other changes to my diet. It’s motivating enough to know it works that I look at sweets in the store and decide it’s not worth it, every time. Not to say I’m not fighting cravings, but I feel more powerful than the cravings.

Last night I “snuck” a decadent, caramel-and-marshmallow-covered brownie, only to spend the next 20 minutes in the bathroom, and the rest of the night feeling like needing the bathroom again… EW.
Is my body rejecting the very substance it used to rely on for feul? Could it be that I’m not tolerating sugar well anymore? Dare to dream…
