It. Is. ON!!!!!
For the next 10 days, I am declaring myself a sweets-free zone. No cookies, cakes, ice cream, or dessert of any kind for the next 10 days. From now through March 5 I will not consume any sugary-junky confections. I can totally do this. I’m not worried about it because I totally did it yesterday. Yes, you heard me right: I did not eat any Girl Scout Cookies. AT. ALL. Woo!
Now for my disclaimers (you knew there would be a few): I have a teaspoon of sugar in my coffee every morning – I’m keeping that because coffee without a little bit of sweet in it is just wrong. Wrong, I say!! So the coffee-sugar stays. Also, I’m not banning all forms of sugar in all forms of food, because, y’all, there’s sugar in EVERYTHING. I would make myself insane trying to avoid sugar at all costs, and I have so little sanity left as it is – let’s not waste what’s there, mkay? Um…that’s all the disclaimers I can think of right now…I may add more later if I think of any.
The point of this little experiment of mine is threefold:
- to prove to myself that I will not die if I don’t have dessert,
- to prove to myself that I am stronger than my cravings
- to get my weight loss going again
I’m serious everyone. I am so doing this. And I know that in 2.5 minutes someone is going to come into my office and offer me something sweet because that’s how things like this always go, but I will be strong and with conviction I will say, “No thank you and good day sir!” and if they persist in offering me the sinful delight, I will say, “I said Good Day!” That’ll show ’em!!
Okay, so any words of wisdom for me here? Anything you think I should know before I embark on my journey? Pray tell, please share!!

Good luck with it. I try to avoid those things but sometimes I do just give in, even when I know better.
Maybe you should put a sign up in the office saying “If you ask me if I want something sweet, I may kill you”. That should keep people from tempting you.
Also, you can still have dessert. Fruit counts as dessert. You just can’t have refined sugar desserts!
Wow. I would like to say I am going to join you, but I don’t think I’d make it. I have done a week without sugar, but that’s about as long as I have lasted. And I did learn that it felt better to go without it. Good luck to ya, and I’ll be watching anxiously for your reports!
I’m doing really well with it so far!! Haven’t missed it all (yet)!! 🙂
