Parting Is Such Sweet... Bliss

Another pound... gone. Yes, it's a slow process... almost agonizing at times. It looks like I'm losing about one pound every ten days, but it's okay because I'm never hungry and still eating everything I like (chips, ice cream, etc.), just in slightly smaller and less frequent portions. I also have a Filiberto's 99-cent bean burrito for lunch every Wednesday, but now I cut off 1/4 of it for Kallie. At some point I'm sure I'll hit a plateau, but today's scale reading proved I haven't yet... yippee! The best part about this is that I'm no longer craving sugar so much. Sugar is addictive, you know... the more you have, the more you want. I was at the point where I felt I needed something sweet almost every day, and I always had an excuse to indulge (if you need an excuse, any excuse will do). I still have a treat every now and then, like Baskin Robbins ice cream yesterday, but it's not nearly as often... and I'm okay with that. If you are addicted to sugar, you might try doing what I did at first. If I had a craving for sweets, I would not indulge, but instead have some other snack - anything else, as long as it wasn't sugar (unless it was fruit). Chips and salsa was a good alternative for me. Anyway, after a couple of weeks, you'll find that you don't crave sugar as much. Try it!
