Question for all of you lovelies out there. Tomorrow is DH and my 18th anniversary. When I originally cut junk out of my life a month ago I had planned to have 4 days a year I could indulge. My anniversary, birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas. My indulgence would be a dish of ice cream, because that's the only junk that actually tastes as good as I think it will.
I do not plan to slowly work sugar back into my diet so that I can have a treat here and there, like weekly, or something, because I know that is much too slippery a slope for me to tread. I plan to remain junk free, even after goal.
But what I'm wondering is, should I even allow myself those 4 dishes of ice cream a year? I know that question probably seems a little extreme to some of you, but really-- I can't handle the sugar And I do not feel deprived (usually). It's much better for me this way, trust me.
It's a sticky question for me. Will that bit of ice cream roust my cravings? I do eat Activia a few times a week which has sugar in it, so I think a lot of my problem is psychological. Of course there's no way you can tell me how eating sugar is going to effect me, but I trust the experiences you've had. I don't have to have it, I'm willing not to have it, but it would be nice to have.
So, a dish of ice cream on my 18th anniversary, or not?
