I love a good challenge...although I'm really not competitive...I must be with myself. I'm not sure what I am doing with my diet just yet. But yesterday I challenged myself to a 500 calorie fast, AND I DID IT! It was actually fun piecing together what I could eat for the day and was surprisingly not that hungry. I have a friend on here who fasts frequently and loves it. I thought she was a little crazy, but now I get it. I also had no sugar yesterday, except the kinds found naturally in fruits and vegetables. I lived the no sugar no wheat life for a year and a half with tremendous results, but I sometimes felt deprived. Although when I hurled myself from the wagon and began to eat sugar and wheat again, nothing tasted like I remembered. It was strange. Obviously I pushed through that aversion and proceeded to gain back the 40 pounds that it had lost. :( I think this time around I will be very conscious of my sugar and wheat consumption, but not totally restrict it....hmmm...but in saying that I also know how hard it is to stay sugar-free after you have consumed some...it truly is a drug! Withdrawals, additions, cravings, the whole 9 yards!! But if I truly try to remain sugar and wheat-free most days and incorporate the fasting and add some exercise, I think it will work!
Congrats if you made it through my rambling journal and are still with me. Have a great weekend everyone!
