As an addendum, I have had a few sweets since I finished my 30 days without sweets. It’s been quite the education. I really like being off them. It’s still a challenge to envision an evening without sweets, but I’ve found that if I have plans and keep busy, I don’t need them and the urge passes. Day by day and seven pounds lost, just by cutting out sweets. Goodness. It’s not easy, but worth it.

So, it’s day 29 without sugar. I’m on a break in a class I’m taking and the cookies from the back are now screaming the aria from “Madama Butterfly.” Or some opera. The point is, they are screaming. You would think after 29 days their voices would’ve gotten less noticable. Welp, class will start up again soon and then I’ll forget. Until the person next to me sits down…with a cookie…chocolate chip…

Sugar addiction sucks!
