sugar detox, day two

i'm fairly certain that i've eaten at least half a pie, a half gallon of ice cream, a 1-lb. bag of hershey's minis, and a wide assortment of muffins, brownies, and cake this week. by myself. simply because it was there. and because i'm a chicken, i didn't stand on the scale yesterday, but i know that i've gained back everything i've lost in the last 2 weeks. frustrating, simply because i stopped saying no and just ate like everyone around me. part from stress, part from exhaustion, part from the group mentality. and part from just plain ignoring my willpower and jiminy cricket voice.

so i'm in sugar detox. really, carb detox, but since sugar is the main culprit in my overindulging, it's the main carb on the list. i don't crave more sugar when i don't start in on it. so no pumpkin spice or vanilla lattes. no m&ms after lunch. no 100-calorie packs. i'm not going all out deprivation - because i know that doesn't work - but cutting out all the excess and especially the things that have been tripping the twilight zone.

i've done this with caffeine before, and while sugar is harder to avoid, it's not impossible. i had a good day yesterday - was able to steer clear of the sugar, and was able to have one WW fudge bar at the end of the day without feeling like i've overdone anything. i'm off to a good start again today - though i already know that i'm a little protein deficient because I'M STARVING! time to find a snack ;)
