Because I am a bit “funny” with starts and finishes and the like – kind of not stepping on pavement cracks when you are a kid – I’ve decided that my DUMP SUGAR DAY will coincide with the end of the financial year and as of July 01, 2010 my saucy, racy, love affair with sugar will be over!! This time forever!!!
So much to do before then …… a month of cutting back and planning and looking for alternatives … will keep here posted as I go!
Read more...I know what to do ... but now need an action plan to start. A D-Day - my DUMP sugar Day! Why not today you ask ... well truth be known, today is just too hard .... and so is tomorrow. I need a little time (not a lot) to plan and make my head ready for what my body is not going to like.
Giving up sugar is just like breaking any addiction - and I know as I went through it all the last time. It sucks. There will be headaches and tummyaches and moments of weakness but as this time it must be for good, planning will be essential.
Here is my 'to-do' list .....
1. be upfront in documenting how I decided to make the change and identifying my motivating factors (they need to be in my face as a reminder!)
2. re-read some bits of Sweet Poison (if you have not got hold of this book yet, you MUST)
3. make myself a list of rules - some "yesses" and some "nooos"
4. do a stocktake of the pantry and the menu
5. set a date for D-Day
So much to do .... good thing I'm onto it!
