I have been sugar-free for the past 51 hours. That is 2 days and 3 hours. I am doing swimmingly well. My energy level has not increased BUT my headaches are gone. I will continue to take each minute at a time!
Hi. My name is Rae and I am addicted to sugar.
This fact has just recently come to my attention. Well, maybe I should say I have just recently decided to accept this fact. I have had tons of physical problems lately. Massive headaches, extreme fatigue (though that is not new), my brain feeling like it is twitching, mood swings, etc. I was seriously thinking I must have a brain tumor. What else could it be? Ah, how about my diet? Yes, I eat relatively healthy. Yes, I watch my portions. NO, I do not regulate my sugar intake. Hence, my body falling apart and experiencing some weight gain. No more, my friends! I have had it! So far, I have gone 36 hours without any refined sugar. I am kickin' this habit cold turkey. I feel like a coke addict for pete's sake! I am literally counting minutes, hours, days, weeks. I am chewing gum (sugar free, of course) just like someone trying to quit smoking. I crashed last night at 6 PM and was comatose for 4 hours. Poor DK thought I was dead! When I finally woke up at 10 PM I told him about my recent insights into my sugar issues. He just kind of looked at me funny and blew it off. I think he would rather have me on crazy pills! :) No matter what HE thinks, I firmly believe there is such a thing as addiction to sugar.
