I have made a commitment to avoid white flour and refined sugar for the month of February. I was just thinking about the past years- and I have gained about 50 lbs. in 17 years, and 30 of those lbs. in the last 4 years. Yes, I had 5 children, but that is no excuse. If I would have kept my hand out of the cookie jar and kept myself away from the candy and sweets section at the store I would be better off today. I have no control and not very disciplined, so here I am in my 40's trying to make up for my mistakes. One day at a time- as my husband would say" just think how long it took you to gain that weight"- so I need to be patient and hopefully it won't take me 17 years to lose it.
Yes, I am a sugar addict. After not having sugar for a few days I did experience headaches, but they have subsided and I feel great. I don't get as tired as I usually am during the days and my 3-4 hour naps during the day have stopped, so that is nice.
Exercise:
1 1/2 hour walk

I am a sugar addict as well. I wake up with carb or dairy "hangovers" if I have more than a smidge late right before bed time! I think you're awesome and you're doing all the right things! Not many people do it the right way, and you are - so give yourself a big pat on the back! Way to go!!!
