So I decided as part of my January "Cleanse myself from the holidays" I would give up sweets for the month. First few days-not too bad at all. It's a week in now though and DUDES. I'm feeling hella anxious for no reason and then last night and tonight I ruined my great healthy meal prep by snacking on everything and eating peanut butter because I couldn't satisfy my craving. I should have learned my lesson. I've been touting my success with CICO (lost 35 pounds last year and gained 5 back over the holidays-not too bad) and saying how great it is bc you really don't have to restrict as long as you count whatever you eat. This is true? Why am I not following my own advice?
Yes sugar is an addictive substance-I know this. But I'm not worried about that. Caffeine is addictive too and you don't see people giving up coffee. I don't drink coffee myself so let me have this one thing lol. My point is. I'm really just trying to be healthy and lose weight and I can still do that while indulging in some sugar from time to time. And that sometimes going so hardcore can hurt your progress more than it can help. Learn from my mistakes all you New Years Resolutioners! Set healthy resolutions but be gentle and realistic! Set small realistic goals!
