Phase 7
So Long, Sugar
I will admit, this was a tough one. I gave up chocolate knowing Skittles had my back. I later gave up Skittles knowing my beloved pie and doughnuts would be there for me. In the back of my mind, I knew my sugartooth was limited. It's day would come. The time is now.
Recently, my mom and sister and I took a trip to Palm Springs. While on our vacation, we stumbled upon a Winchell's Doughnuts store. WINCHELL'S!! They had closed their doors years ago in Washington State. My mom and I both have a weakness for doughnuts. so of course the car took an immediate right turn into the parking lot. We had 2 days left on our vacation, so what did we do? We bought a dozen doughnuts of course! My sister restrained herself and only had one. My mom and I gobbled down the remaining 11 in 2 days. It was quite a sight. Powdered sugar everywhere. Our hotel looked like a scene from some drug cartel movie. That was the last hurrah.
I returned from our vacation DONE. I was done eating. I was done with sugar, overindulgence, tight clothes, done with it all. I stepped on the scale the morning after my return and it tipped an all time high (barring childbirth weight which was just a couple pounds higher). I was really done. Or as I referred to it as going on the "IFDD" (I'm F*cking Done Diet). Now, those who know me know I don't curse a lot. Except now. This isn't a diet I promoted loudly, but the words sure played in my head every time I looked at something sweet. "I'm F*cking Done!" Words I would repeat over and over. I wasn't even tempted. Just done.
Is it forever? I hope so. I have managed to eliminate many other items from my diet and stick to it. Let's hope this no sugar thing lasts too. As a sugar-aholic, it needs to. I simply can't do little bits. So-long, sugar. It's been fun.
