Today was my first day on DietBet! I don't want to get too over predictive (is that a word?) but I feel like this blogging stuff and sharing to whoever is out there is going to help me a lot. My thing is I want to give up sugar because I know it makes me fat and makes me feel like crap. I have tried to do it before but I was only ever doing it by myself and I always failed. Today was already hard because I feel like my whole body is crying out for something sweet, well because it just tastes so darn good! I had a major irony today- my VERY FIRST day, a client at work brought in my bosses favorite cake from this bakery- a big choclate cake- enough to last for days!!! And I have had it before and it is so good! WELL, I have thought about making this commitment and I thought about obstacles like this and what would I do....so I was kinda prepared in my head even though the cake at work took me by surprise. Maybe in the future I can have a slice or two of cake but for now there are just certain things that are off limits. I just can't handle them, especially in this detox stage. So I just focused on how bad I would feel if I had that cake and phew- I made it. And now it is time to go to bed and start a new day. I do feel kinda crappy without the sugar and right now I am a little hungry but I have been asking myself if I am hungry or just craving something. I have raw almonds at work because sometimes I am super busy and I don't ever want to be famished- not good. So that cake will be there tomorrow but I am going to keep my eye on the prize. Good luck everybody!

Sign in to CommentGreat job of not giving in. You're right, one day you can have a slice or two within reason, but it has to be on your own terms.
If you can, get rid of the cake or avoid the area where it is!
We had friends stop by this week and they brought a box of donuts. They sat on the counter all night, looked at me, taunted me, it was sooooo hard to resist. I even logged one in MyFitnessPal and decided it wasn't worth the 300+ calories. So I threw them out once company left. Call it rude or not, but I just couldn't deal with it any more!
These successes are the ones that will empower us and show us that we can do this - surprise cake and all!! Goodluck!
