I have been examining my dietary life style the last few months. My dad was diagnosed with diabetes! he is able to manage it through diet but has insulin on hand for extreme days. Both my grandmothers on my dad's and my mom's side have/had also diabetes.
I have a very sweet tooth (as my thighs and behind can testify to it!) which worries me quite a bit. I don't want to end up being diabetic if I can help it. So I decided that I need to cut my sugar intake (as if that is so easy!) or at the very least drastically reduce it!
It took me a few months to come up with a plan gather my courage and will power to tackle this issue!
My plan is that I will cut out my daily candy bars, pastries/cakes and chocolates for the month of September. At the end, I am going to see how I feel without that additional sugar. Birthdays or holidays are exempt for the most part!!!
I know there will be days where I will fail. I guess you could say that I am a realistic! I am not going to beat myself up too much about it. But I also won't give up.
P wants to cut down on her junk food as well. I am curious how that will go!? you know that kids are a synonym for sugar! LOL!
I'll let you know how we are doing...
Do you have an addiction you want to work on?
Take care,
Me
P.S. Today is my first day and I already bought myself a Twix! Granted I haven't eaten it which makes me wonder if the act of allowing myself to have it, makes it easier to say no to eating it? Hmmm, something to ponder...
P.P.S. Do you remember how "Twix" used to be called "Raider"?
I still remember all those commercials in which the people do the two finger gestures!
i sure do remember those days.
ReplyDeleteI know it will be hard not to have any sweets at all but you can do this.
we decited to be more active as a family (go jogging...) and to cut back on sweets as well. I don't think we can cut it completly but most of it;-)
I finally did it!!!!
