7 Days To Breaking Up With Sugar

"I now read the labels and feel discouraged at how many foods have sugar!"

Before I began this program I was juicing fruits nearly every day, thinking that I am doing something healthy for myself. I was not paying attention to labels and was slipping into frozen custards around two times per week. I was also having a coke twice a week as a way to achieve pleasure from a cold carbonated drink. 

Thanks to this program I am really paying attention! I thought I was eating healthy but I now realize that I need to be more awake around what I am putting into my body. 

Honestly, during the program I noticed the exceptions I make and how I get lazy and fall back into sugar. I now read the labels and feel discouraged at how many foods have sugar! It made me angry. I also noticed how I want fruit even more, now that I cannot have it. :-( "I'll start tomorrow" has seeped into my consciousness as I slip into a sugar treat. I have a lot of internal dialogue about food. 

This program has really brought all this stuff up to the surface and now I am paying attention!! I will not beat myself up, as I know guilt will only propel me back into bad habits. Each day is a new start, and I will recommit to no sugar and pay attention to my emotions a lot better than I have been.
