Self control is an amazing thing. Once I saw the results of not eating sugar...its not hard! It took a few days of headaches during the beginning of my not eating sugar-perhaps withdrawal, but since I stopped I havnt had a migraine...a headache yes but a migraine-no,THANK GOD!!!! I am able to eat fruit and carbs but no processed sugar. I am not taking this to an extreme Ill have some bbq sauce or ketchup...but in general I check ingredients before I eat the food-Great thing to do regardless! Its kept me from eating a lot of things!
The amazing thing about this all is it teaches me...more like reinforces the idea of self control. I eat kosher-I never think to eat something thats not kosher, and now I dont eat sugar and it hasnt been that hard to avoid. Im almost up to a month sugarfree...when I am Id like to work on my snacking. I noticed on days when I dont pack a real lunch its been a bad decline...even if I pick up a yogurt and fruit for lunch I end up snacking the rest of the day.
Onto other news....this friday is my last test for this semester!!!! I could use some prayers to pass! Nursing school is a new set of challenges...unlike most things...if you study really hard in nursing school it doesnt mean you will do well...Im learning that. Honestly Im not used to that....in High School I was a lousy student but that was by choice, when I went to college I did well...because I tried...now....argh! I try sooo damn hard and at least Im passing but I wish my marks/grades showed my effort.
Im off to clinicals...Its been nice chatting...lol
Have a great day!
Great Job Naami! It's amazing how much sugar you can eat without even realizing it! I have been avoiding it for almost the same amount of time as you... Maybe a little longer. I totally understand what you mean about lunch by the way- if I don't pack one I'm in trouble... Right now I'm working on the gym... Any advice? It's so hard to make myself go! Anyway- congrats on making it this far with the sugar battle! I have been migraine free as well and its great! :) Thanks for being my long-distance inspiration!
