eat less sugar

Sugar is one of my two weaknesses in the food category ( shake and bake pork chops are the second). I admit it, I am horribly addicted to sugar, primarily candy, followed by anything sweet ( cookies cake ect…)I was thinking today, I’ve been super stressed with everything going on around me. I have been comfort eating sweets… I’ve managed to get off of sodas, which is nice, but not enough. I am hereby committing myself to getting onto the sugar sobriety wagon, not just for my health, but to set a good example for my family! Woohoo!!

i really need to start on this more. i feel like i’m poisoning myself from the inside out. i need to look after myself…

Controlling sugar intake is worse than quitting smoking for me, so I will determine where I fail and address potential fixes.

Breakfast (1/4 to 1/2 tsp of sugar on cereal):
Replace with sprinkle of cinnamon on “cheerios.”
Tasty.
Easy.

Lunch (something sweet to complement lunch):
Fruit juice.

Afternoon (stinging craving, worse if in a bad mood):
Small serving of yogurt or cobbler, something with fruit
since I don’t enjoy fruit alone.

Evening (sweet tooth sometimes a couple hrs after dinner):
Spoonful of healthier peanut butter might do the trick and fortify against late hunger.

Baking (Temptation abounds!):
Only bake for company or to give away. Don’t keep cookies around!
Set aside a few for me and immediately package.
Avoid grazing.

Ice cream, candy, desserts:
Eat sparingly, but do allow.
Share.
Set aside portion and put away the rest!
Avoid fake sugars.

so i want to cut down on my daily sugar. i’ve become far too lazy and instead of bring an apple to school, i go to 7eleven and buy some unhealthy and sugarish stuff. i want to break that kind of habits that i have, so here’s some goals i want to achieve:
- not eat sweets or drink soda on weekdays.
- eat healthy breakfast e.g. müsli and swedish crispbread.
- at pauses in school eat fruit, not a candybar.
- find good recipes that are healthy.
yeah, quite simple and straightforwad. so i’ve followed these “rules” about a week and thought if i can follow them two more then i can check off this goal.
well it sounds good, now i just have to do it!

I’m addicted to sugar, but lately candy has been making me feel sick. I already cut out soda, so I guess I already made some progress. Although I think Stevia extract makes wonderful lemonade, I think it will take some time to get past cookies, ice cream and pastries! :-)

...I’m actually done with this goal, but I want to decrease my sugar consumption a tiny bit more before I mark it as done :)

Massive Fail.

i had a very good night! which turned out to be a very bad night for my goal.. i had 2 nanimo bars and had a few drinks … but it was my boyfriends graduation.. and the two days after i did pretty damn good:) no candy, deserts or pop :)

my grandma used to rant about how bad sugar is, so il see how cutting down it makes me feel….here are my no nos:
Donuts
more than one teaspoon in coffee=bad
COKE
Ice cream bars
andd…. FRUIT JUICE! (EAT A FRUIT… DRINK WATER)

At Download the only sugar I had was on 4 doughnuts! I’m amazed I didn’t eat half a tonne of the stuff over 4days of constant partying!!!
