No Sugar or Caffeine for 3 Days

I am on my 3rd day with no sugar or coffee (I usually put cream and sugar in my daily drink)

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.
