Well, I managed another 24 hours without sugar and have officially completed my detox. I should be ecstatic as tomorrow, I can start bingeing on chocolate again but instead, I'm feeling quite perturbed. You see, today was almost too easy.
I know that probably sounds a bit weird but apart from the usual tiredness (courtesy of 3 hourly night wakings from the baby, lucky me!) I really didn't have much in the way of sugar cravings today. Okay, I glanced a couple of times at a little bag of leftover chocolate but I didn't have to force myself to stay away from it, I just sipped my fruit tea and got on with the day. And that worries me.
Surely I should be having sugar withdrawal headaches and all sorts by now?
As much as I would like to think I'm now sugar-free, I suspect one of the reasons why I don't feel that bad is because 48 hours hasn't been long enough to cleanse my system. I think I need to give the detox a bit more time before I truly feel its benefit so I'm going to keep going for another 24 hours and see what my body throws at me. If I have to, I'll try another 24 hours and another......
Reading that back I sound like a right glutton for punishment! But nothing good ever came easy right? And so far, this detox has definitely fallen in the "easy" category. That speaks volumes to me.

well done you!
I tried to start my diet today and fell off the wagon by lunchtime! I need some of your will power!
Well done and keep it up .Imagine how amazing a week will feel ? Says me sipping on a sugary cup of coffee :( I must stop eating rubbish !
My willpower is normally non-existent so I've managed to surprise myself. I think it helped that I really did feel like I needed to do this and to do it now. I need to transform it into a healthy eating regime but don't feel quite ready to be that virtuous yet!
Aw, thank you! And there's nothing wrong with a lovely cup of coffee, although I'll have to have some sweetener in mine. Are you on twitter? I tried to find you to say thank you for visiting but couldn't find you.
You are very brave!!!
