Who likes candy? Not I!

I decided after Halloween, I was going off sugar. Completely. Cold turkey. It's been almost 3 weeks. It really hasn't been hard. One time, it was hard. For a work meeting, we brought in food from Joe Morleys. Good place, and they cater. Anyways, they have this delectable (well, it looks delectable and everyone about beat each other up to get seconds, so I am going with it is as delectable as it looks) ice cream/chocolate/fudge/Oreo pie. I wanted some. But I didn't cave. The worst part was when I was cleaning up, I got some fudge on my fingers. And you know, you instinctively just lick it off... I almost did so without thinking, but stopped!

I'm in another big meeting today, and Joe Morleys was requested again, mostly because of this before mentioned pie. Today, it was really not even hard to say no.

I was hoping to see some instant results. More energy, increased IQ, longer endurance, superpowers; something!

I feel none of that. BUT, I have noticed that my desire for candy, chocolate, sugar, etc, has consequentially decreased. Also, my cravings for fruit and healthy food has increased.

And I am happy to report, I was not addicted to chocolate! I experienced no headaches, fatigue or insane cravings after going off. Personal triumph. Lame, yes. But I take what I can get.

My original plan was to go off from Halloween to Thanksgiving. But I'm thinking, why not extend till Christmas?
