15 January 2015

10 days into LCHF, and I feel so happy and proud that I've left processed sugar behind (again). For two years, about eight years ago, not a grain of processed sugar passed my lips, and I lost 100+ pounds, felt great, had energy, and a renewed sense of self confidence and wellness. I have learned that sugar is my achilles heel; I have a ridiculous sensitivity to it that goes hand in hand with an insane addiction. I used to think I was crazy with how out of control I felt around sugar until I did a bunch of research and realized that cocaine-addicted lab rats would switch 100% to sugar water, if given the choice. Food addiction is real, no doubt about it. But I want that to be a (permanent) thing of the past. Sugar is poison, and I want to live and feel good and be happy, and I don't want or need that crutch anymore.

Speaking of sugar, I have PMS like whoa and decided to have a sugar free Jello pudding serving, made with whipping cream instead of milk...bumped me out of ketosis. So now I know that not only am I sensitive to sugar, I'm sensitive to anything that tricks my body into thinking it's sugar. Aspartame is an awful chemical anyway, and I never did like the flavor of Stevia or Truvia or whatever, so that's that. No sugar, no artificial sweeteners.

The big news is: that doesn't even make me feel sad. I feel more committed now than ever to achieving the healthy, strong, and active lifestyle I want for myself. Kiteboarding will taste better than sugar ever did.

So as a declaration of my long term goals: on my 40th birthday, in three and a half years, I will celebrate by going kiteboarding. There it is. Plenty of time to get there.
