I went three days without sugar this week, and as difficult as it was, I felt great. In fact, I felt wonderful. Then, yesterday afternoon, I caved. I had gone too long without food and rationalized unlike I have ever done before. Pretty soon I had consumed three pieces of pumpkin cream cheese cake (which I should have thrown out days ago but thought I'd keep it for my husband's sake) and two glasses of milk. Yuck. I instantly felt regret along with a stomach ache. Ever since yesterday afternoon I feel like the biggest failure. What is wrong with me? I'd like to blame it on being an exhausted, breast feeding mother, but I don't think that is it. Tomorrow, we will have this challenge and just knowing that you are doing it with me, Bethany, will only inspire to be the best I can be. Thank you.
I wish I could honestly say that I am completely in control and really eating broccoli by the stalk AND dropping lbs like hot cakes, but it's not true. But it can be. Let's keep going tomorrow.
Here is a great article I read today to help me with some motivation. Take a look if you get the chance.

We've got a ward party tomorrow night so I plan on controlling myself and practicing how to say "no" in the mirror tonight. "No, thank you. Sugar upsets my stomach." "No, I'm actually allergic to white flour." "No, I've got a dentist appointment in the morning." Hmmm. Those are good enough, right?
