I weighed in this morning at 280 lbs. A four pound week is great. This is the first week where I actually felt like I lost something. I tightened my belt up one notch this morning. That was nice. The sugarless life is not as painful as you might think. But the longer I am sugar free, the worse effect sugar has on me when I do have it. I noticed this week that even after having something like ketchup (which has considerable sugar in it) my cravings would go through the roof. The cravings come with a progressively more violent vengence the longer I do this. They’re psychological for the most part, and I suppose eventually they will subside. But right now, they’re actually a pretty good warning system. If the cravings hit me, then I know that whatever I just ate had a higher sugar content than I thought. Those of you who have encouraged me, thanks a million!
