Today I found myself missing the comforting effect of sugar a few times. That part of the brain that just lights up and distracts you from troubles and makes you feel so good is craving it or a replacement. I got through the day, but it's always been between days 4 and 7 when I've caved in on previous attempts to quit sugar. Know that I want to be able to write each day that I'm succeeding in doing something that is for my betterment, is helping. Also, I remind myself of how great I felt (and looked) when I went without it for several months in my early twenties. And, the benefit of not constantly thinking of food and dealing with cravings is still there, it was only a few times I found the cravings kicked in and I think it was more of a desire to eat for emotional reasons, than what I mostly went through each day before where it was a constant struggle to maintain my energy/blood sugar levels.
