Ok, ok, I knew I had a sweet tooth. I mean, who doesn't? Well.. yes lots of people. But weren't we evolved to go for sweet tasting foods? To avoid poisoning ourselves with bitter things? I feel like I read that somewhere once. May have been on Wikipedia though now I think on it..
Anyways, so I knew I had a sweet tooth, but this is HARD. No dried fruit or honey to cheat either!? And to top it all off there have been two birthday cakes in at the office this week, including one chocolate quinoa cake that everyone was in ecstasies over because it was so delicious. That's just not fair. To be honest I may have frozen away a slice at work and have a reminder in my calendar to eat it in a month... Yes the sugar thing is hopefully going to be a permanent adjustment but we're all allowed to cheat every once in a while, right?
As you may have gathered, I did not have any cake, despite really, really, REALLY wanting some. And you know what? I felt really good about that, and myself, afterwards. Which was definitely worth the moment feeling like I was missing out on the best thing in the world followed by guilt for indulging.
A large part of my perseverance is due to the fact that I kept thinking, if I cave in now and have some sugar then I would have to admit it on the blog and it's not even a full week yet and who is, honestly, so addicted to sugar they can't even make a week??? So thank goodness for self-inflicted-external-motivation!
I'm still going strong and said no to some feijoa wine tonight, which is probably the best of all wines, and as a bonus, no one glass of wine hangover for me at work tomorrow! *winning*
