I have avoided all the obvious sugars both natural and artificial
I have avoided caffeine
I have not had gum or fruit

I have felt fine, hungrier at lunch especially, but I think this has more to do with me having been sick recently.
I am very much looking forward to drinking coffee tomorrow morning with some of my pumpkin bread.
I am also looking forward to buying some fun veggy snacks today for the Super Bowl tomorrow night - I'll probably get some cheesy kale chips and other stuff like that I've posted about.

In conclusion I don't have a physical addiction to caffeine or sugar but I do use them to ease life's challenges and to soothe myself, something I want to pay attention to. I have been eating battered fried fish and chicken, not often but I'm not avoiding it either--they've lately been an ongoing "exception." My true goal is to be viceless, a goal that continues to challenge me as I realize more and more how the line between enjoying food and abusing it is often greyed in my mind and actions.
Random information: Sugar snap peas are my new food best friend. They are crispy, a little juicy, and slightly sweet deliciousness that I now turn to in order to satisfy afternoon & dinner preparation munchies. One day there was a package reduced for quick sale that I purchased on a whim, and the rest is history <3
ReplyDeleteSnap peas -- good call! I could dip them in my plain yogurt/dry ranch (I'm a dipper)
DeleteOh those joyful crunchy textures. Oprah (long ago and I actually was able to watch this show)discussed how she loved crunch. She was dealing with this by putting the sandwich stuff on Wasa crackers; they come in a variety of "flavors" such as wheat, rye, oat. We used to buy these in Norfolk, and it easy to just have a serving size as opposed to other crackers that are easy to eat half a box.
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard for me to not have coffee because I get a headache.
