Tanner and I decided that we are going to stop eating sweets today. I am soooo excited! I know many of you may be thinking, you shouldn't quit all together. There is moderation in all things. But when it comes to me and sweets (at least right now in my life) I lack the self control to just eat one. I am hoping to do this fast for at least 3 months. That should be long enough to give our bodies a little cleanse from the drug that is sugar and stop those cravings for a Dairy Queen Blizzard after every meal.
I went on a "sweets fast" for about a month and I LOVED the results. I had more energy, my mind felt clearer because I was feeding it food that it could use and I felt in control. If someone was eating sweets around me I wasn't even be tempted to have some because I knew that feeling healthy felt so much better than those sweets tasted. Of course, the first couple weeks were just the opposite. I wanted everything sweets just because I had told myself that I could not have it. Once I fought through that stage I was home free!
I know it is not easy, but it will absolutely be worth it!
Plan to make it a little easier: Replace sweets and desserts with fruit alternatives.
I want to live a healthier lifestyle for myself, for Tanner, for our future children, and for family. I will treat my body like the temple it is.
(I will give myself a break on major holidays, just so I don't go crazy :)
