Day 14!

I have to brag a little! I have not had any chocolate, candy, dessert, or treats of any kind for the last 14 days!!

It has been so hard, I really didn't think it would be this hard. The reason it has been so hard, other then my pure love of chocolate and candy :), is that I am ALWAYS surrounded by treats. Work as treats on every desk every day. I'm not talking the yucky candy either, free Reese's cups, twix, snickers, cadberry eggs, and the list goes on! The parties at work are very frequent as well. Of course we had a St. Patrick's Day Party, I have never seen such delicious looking treats, the brownies, sugar cookies, etc. looked and SMELLED so enticing! But I resisted!

So I get home from work and you would think I would have a little reprieve. Well you have not met Taylor then. He does not do it on purpose to torture me but this guy can eat treats! I have never seen someone eat so much sugary food and stay as skinny as he is. He has amazing genes! Anyway, let me give an example of what this lucky man of mine can eat. Last Sunday he ate, 5 sugar cookies with frosting, 3 packages of fun dip, some thin mints, and a couple little candies that we had lying around.

Of course I am sitting next to him while he eats this, and the nice guy he is he offers me a taste. Well luckily for me my desire to finish this task has overridden my need and desire for treats. I think I am finally teaching my body that it doesn't need a treat after a hard day, a meal, or just for the heck of it. I really think when I start introducing sweets back into my diet I will be able to control the amount I eat and really eat much less then I used to :)

I do have to say, the no sugar and LOTS of water, I mean 50-64oz a day, has made me feel better. I wish it was helping me lose more weight but I need to introduce exercise into the plan for that to really take effect.

Now I only have approx. another 14 days until my first birthday celebration and the first introduction to sweets. Wish me luck on finishing the last 14 days as strong as the first 14! :)
