7 Days To Breaking Up With Sugar

"It's now day 6 and can say that it was easy"

I love chocolate and can't see myself stopping completely. I'm in my mid 50th and at least 50 pounds overweight. Mix this love of sweets with everyday life and I can now see better how emotions plays a big role in my cravings. 
I see how the devil angel surfaces, the eating with appetite and appreciation comes next and then the guilt. I would bite my fingernails. 

It's now day 6 and can say that it was easy. Just listened to the video and easy is not good. Let me be honest, I'm already planning trips to Europe and I know I will enjoy the food in all of its many facets. 
Does this mean I've lost the battle? We shall see. 

What I do know for sure is that the day we started the fruits only in the morning, my brother in law passed away and we received five fruit baskets, chocolates, etc... I really wanted the salted caramels chocolates from Switzerland and the strawberries dipped in ... yes chocolate. My husband ate them and you know what? I was happy for him and I was fine. I felt good to just let it go. I do believe doing the Hero program also helps. 
Writing our blessings, exercising each day and honestly, I have not felt this good in a long time. THANK YOU.

It's wonderful how we can adapt to certain mental states. I have no sweet cravings after a 3 week period of concious eating. The only times I've had chocolate is when my partner or colleagues have offered a piece and I accept due to habit saying yes to treats. Could you imagine -...
