Phase 5
OK candy, you're outta here.
Remember in Phase 2 when I talked about the fact that I wouldn't stop at a store just to buy Skittles or Sweet Tarts? Well, it's funny how once you remove chocolate from your diet, other sugars rear their ugly heads. Sure enough, I was stopping at convenience stores and dollar stores just to stock up on Hot Tamales, Life Savers and those fruity flavored Tootsie Rolls - you know the ones that come in a big bag at Halloween? Yep, the Dollar Store sells them in little perfect sized bags. In true sugar-aholic fashion, I was now the Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas of sugar. Filling my dollar store grocery cart with anything sugary - (just not chocolate). I couldn't stop. So I had to stop. I came home, hid my candy in the pantry, and made the decision right then and there to stop all candy. This was in February of 2019. NO MORE CANDY. I was done. I realized I had a problem and allowing myself little bits just wasn't working. I would positively gorge myself on candy. The litter bag in my car was always filled with candy wrappers. Nothing but candy wrappers. FILLED. Once again, I needed to stop. I haven't had any candy since 02/2019 and feel great about it. Knowing how I make long lasting decisions, I am confident I won't go back to eating candy in the future. The hardest part is getting over the initial hump. Day by day, folks.
