RE: Kicking My Sugar Habit For Lent

in #food7 years ago

@mummyimperfect , I gave up sugar and I will never look back. I did not do it for lent, i just simply know how horrific it is for our bodies. I'm not going to lie, it was so F*&%ing hard to do! Not only the cravings but you can get sugar detox rashes which absolutely suck. I stopped craving after a solid 2 months. I feel so damn good now it is unbelievable. Good luck, and you got this. SCREW SUGAR

Sort:  

It's good to know it took 2 months for the cravings to stop. I think I will find it hard too particularly when I'm tired. Do you ever have any sugary treats now or not at all?

ya, i keep a bag of Skittles in the pantry. Once in a blue moon i will take 5 or so, and enjoy the heck out of them. I chose skittles because in my mind eating 5 skittles is like eating 5 snacks. Sounds weird but it works. Then I normally drink a ton of water in hopes to flush it out fast as possible.

I love the fact that you aren't all 'holier than thou' about giving up sugar and still have skittles now and then :)
