So January 1st I made a goal to give up Diet Coke and other sodas. The first two months was horrible, but I stayed strong and now I have been soda free for four fabulous months. This last weekend I decided to do something daring and start on the next big addiction in my life...SUGAR...
Diet Coke was never this hard. I am now realizing just how addicted to sugar I really am. Sunday I'm walking in the kitchen and we have this bowl of candy sitting on the cupboard and I tried to talk myself out of it. Really, I tried! It went something like this:
The-Little-Angel-on-My-Shoulder: "Meg, you don't need that candy. Remember how you are trying to quit?"
The-Little-Devil-on-My-Other-Shoulder: "But look at how tasty it looks!"
The-Little-Angel-on-My-Shoulder: "No! All it is is sugar, which you know is not good for you!"
The-Little-Devil-on-My-Other-Shoulder: "You know you want to eat it!!! Go ahead one tiny piece of candy won't hurt."
My hand begins reaching for the candy and before The-Little-Angel-On-My-Shoulder knows what has happened, I have eaten it...
To say I was a little disappointed in myself is a huge understatement. I hadn't even made it one day! The next two days go about the same. I realize that I need to have some accountability, so I'm asking you for your help. When you see me please check on my no-sugar goal. I think that will help me, so thank you!

Megan, I'm wondering your motivation for giving up sugar? Like no cake on your birthday either? I think everything in moderation. Afterall a few skittles everyday is NOT going make or break you, now a few packs of skittles a day is a different story... Ready for the marathon? I'm getting scared now... I know I haven't done enough to train. :)
