Really? Oh man, i practically lives off that when I was a vegetarian. Trust me. Sooo good.
Day 8.5 of my sugar boycott. SO MUCH BETTER. Somewhere between day 6-7 I stopping feeling so rubbish - constant cravings gone, fewer headaches and sleep a bit better. The fact that the cravings are gone feels amazing. My gut feels heaps better. My goal is to get to 10 days and reassess plans going forward.

Make your own! Use dates as a natural sweetener! I also make energy bites. Peanut butter, coconut, dried cherries, dates, hemp seeds. Pulse in food processor and roll into little bites.

I had to reset too today. I had an extremely bad mood, just too much stress, allergy and overall felt like a volcano that isnāt far away from exploding 
Had 2 chocolate bars and feel better now, didnāt binge them or had the whole package. And they tasted extremely sweet! I became used to the natural sweetness of fruit.
I want to make this so bad, but I need a better blender bc mine is too weak for that. And itās a pain to clean this monster

Yesterday i ate cake & ice cream at my sponsors 2 year sobriety party. I just thought it would be unpolite to say no. My stomach is sooo upset now 
Sometimes it feels like I want too much:
- No alcohol
- Eating vegan
- No sugar
But Iām taking baby steps and itās feeling good. Eating Vegan is feeling almost normal now and I do not feel like Iām missing out anymore.
Like most of you know Iām Dutch and we Dutch people love to eat cheese and other diary products. I banned the milk years ago, but couldnā t miss āmyā cheese. Havenāt had cheese in 3 months now!

Today in the airport there was rum cake and alcohol everywhere i looked. Then i saw frozen yoghurt and made a decision to have the smallest size (after 3 weeks no sweets). Trying to figure out if i can permit myself small indulgences periodically and assess impact on body and mindā¦

Moderation you mean? 
Iād say why not. Unless of course it leads back to being unmanageable, controlling.
Iāve had a couple of small bars but have stayed off the big bars and the wine gums!

Yea, seriously. The struggle is real. I donāt even know what a reasonable approach looks like, so will keep trying to figure that out! I would love to get to a place of mindful eating where i eat when Iām hungry rather than mindlessly stuffing myself with junk for emotional comfort. I found a glimpse of mindful eating at the retreat. And at airport which for me is a great excuse to stuff myself with all the junk (not just sweets) i just got myself a salad. Who is this person?!?
