Struggling today. My aunt dropped off her homemade cream cheese coffee cake which is one of my absolute favorites. I keep finding myself pacing into the kitchen just to look at it and really contemplating throwing away 78 days sugar free. I don’t actually want to throw that away though 
stuffing my face with a big ole late lunch and hoping I will be full and forget about it. Just need to get through today.

We all have our valid reasons why we do not want to eat sugar. In my case it is not horribly "bad’ for me, and in some cases could be an essential nutrient, however I choose not to eat it for the most part.
( I have not had sugar in my home for over six years, including honey. I do have power bars in the car for when I need them but am using them less and less and coming up w good substitutes)
If there is a wonderful cake there, should I eat one piece it could possibly trigger me to want the whole rest of the cake.
Physically it does no harm to me other than make me want more. And the additional calories.
In my own situation, if there was my favorite cake there and I felt like I could have one normal size portion, I would.
I have friends who would not. No birthday cake, etcetera.
Nice of your aunt to bring the cake. Supporting and respecting you whatever you decide to do.
Editing to add, that not necessarily so nice for her to bring the cake if she knows it is a struggle for you. Could suggest she invite the others to her house for those specialties?

Ugh, that would be hard for sure and I can really relate to the pacing back and forth. Typically I break when that is happening so I hope that you have found the strength to get through the urge. Proud of you for coming here to shed light on that, we are stronger together. I’m right behind you!!! 75.75 days, let’s keep going sugar twin-not-twin.

On a roll this time and feeling pretty proud. I did find out liquid IV has sugar in it
I only use 1 package when I do long runs so I’m not going to count it against me.
Did you make it through @anon9289869? I would have caved lol

Made it through for today!
I know my dad appreciates her bringing him baked goods and it’s his favorite too…so just like alcohol while I live in this house I have to be okay being surrounded by triggers and finding substitutes. I snacked on a whole lot of pickles with peanut butter.

Day 80 no sugar, Day 3 being tormented by the kitchen coffee cake.
Yesterday I had therapy, journaled, and ran away to my mums for the evening so it was easy to avoid. This morning it’s just there and I could taste it in my imagination. Went out and picked some fresh raspberries to make a nice parfait with buckwheat honey.

I’m glad. Ngl I made myself laugh. Making fun of my addictions and the ridiculousness of it sometimes helps me to cope. I said this out loud though to D and he looked at me like it was the dumbest thing I’ve ever said.

Thank you and the buckwheat honey is so amazing!! I thought it was something I had this year for the first time and my mum told me yesterday she actually used to give it to us as kids all the time from a local farmer.

@Shaunda @SoberWalker Thank you both!
It really is just another addiction. It’s crazy how it brings back all the old feels and habits that I had forgotten from when I first gave up alcohol.
