Way to go

KY looks like you're well on your way to 30 days.
I made it 6 weeks. A few days ago I had sourdough bread, orange juice and cookies. No one tempted or pressured me, I just wanted a certain type of meal and went for it.
The next day, I had sourdough bread again, orange juice and no cookies.
The following day, I was back to no sugar. I craved it more than usual, but did not binge on sugar and carbs like I normally would. I splurged and went back to business as usual.
I'll be honest, I hated my actions for that first day and part of the 2nd day. Then I tried on my size 6 pants and they still fit just fine. I reminded myself you don't gain alllll your weight back in two unhealthy meals or lose it allll in two healthy meals.
Back to no sugar until the next time I *choose* to have it. I love that it feels like a real choice and not this uncontrollable urge. I think that's what a lifestyle choice is? Deciding sugar is not part of my regular nutritional intake. It's just off the menu in general. Not forbidden, just not part of my modus operandi.
