Hi! My name is Dana, and I am addicted to SUGAR!!!
I have loved sugar and all things sweet for as long as I can remember. And not surprisingly, have also struggled with my weight for much of my adult life. Even when I lost 40 pounds on Weight Watchers about 10 years ago, I would calculate and save points so I could have delicious sugary treats throughout the day.
So why change now? Well, I just feel terrible...I lack energy, my muscles and joints hurt, and my weight keeps going up. And I feel that my poor diet of refined carbs and too many sweets are the primary contributers. Last year, I tried the South Beach diet plan for about 3 weeks, and after the first week, I actually felt better (that first week was miserable!!!). But then I went on a Disney Cruise and enjoyed all the delicious food and desserts served, and never got back on track. Today (actually tonight), I am making the decision and commitment to significantly reduce my sugar/carb intake, and I'll be journaling how I feel as I detox from sugar, my progress, and share the positive benefits that I experience. My hope is that by writing it down, and keeping track of my progress and how I am feeling, it will help me to stay motivated to bypass the sugar/carbs that I have loved so much!
So goodbye delicious sugary confections! It is time for me to move on!
