My ” I Quit Sugar ” Journey

A quick hello to you today! I just wanted to let you know that yesterday, I began an 8 week journey to QUIT sugar!! I am using Sarah Wilson’s book I Quit Sugar: Your Complete 8-Week Detox Program and Cookbook

as my helping hand and motivation. Basically, I will be eliminating all fructose from my diet for 8 weeks, with the goal of rebalancing my sugar intake and enjoying natural sugars {such as fruit} again, in all of its glory.

Ever since I transformed my diet, in order to heal my acid reflux, I have considered myself to be a healthy eater. But the truth is, I am still addicted to that nasty sugar stuff. Granted, I mostly get my sugar in the form of fruit and honey, but, I still get slumps at 11am and 3pm, and I still cannot control myself when faced with a plate of “all-natural” chocolates. Or un-natural chocolates, for that matter.

Things got bad while I was pregnant. They always do. I am a HUNGRY pregnant person. Now, post-delivery, I feel as though I am eating really well, but cannot budge a pound. I know I needed to get back to my SCD diet, or something similar! Deep down, I know…. I need to quit sugar. I need to kick the habit and recalibrate.

In this info graphic below, You can think of me as ”The healthy eater.” The problem is, this is still WAY too much sugar:

As I mentioned, I am using Sarah’s book

, and since I am a May birthday baby, this diet is my gift to myself. No cake on my birthday. Or pie. Or 10 chocolate bars. Because I am tired of feeling crappy, eating poorly, binging on my “healthy” treats, beating myself up, feeling helpless, and reliving the cycle every day. And if I don’t make a change… the fact is, I will relive this cycle every day until I die. And I am not being dramatic.

I am tired of it.

So, I begin!

I will keep you posted at the halfway mark of 4 weeks, with possible updates on Instagram and Facebook and such. I will be pinning like a madwoman to my I Quit Sugar Pinboard. Join me there!

I will also be helping my process along by detoxing with my oils. Already, I can tell that Lemon Oil in my water is going to be a life saver for me. And detox baths.

That, and eating copious amounts of coconuts… in general. Because, yum.

Would you ever dare to quit sugar?
