Please Don't Pass the Sugar!

It's been about 2 months since I stopped eating sugar among other things that aren't good for you. I thought it'd be a lot harder then it is. I was hooked on the stuff and ate a lot more then I would ever admit to. I didn't really have any set goals on my diet other then it being healthy and meat-free. I never imagined it would be this drastic of change nor did I realize how much work it'd be. Don't get me wrong, I love this new diet and lifestyle and I feel great but I have to admit it is a lot of work. I was always one of those people that thought/said "I could never do that" meaning that I could not stop eating sugar. On one hand, it's true I couldn't stop eating sugar, I really loved it, dessert has always been my favourite meal! On the other hand I now know it is a mind set and I just needed to make the choice not to eat it and stick with it. It's been 8 weeks and I have done a great job of not eating sugar, even if it means passing up things that I really love like Starbucks Soy Chai Latte, honey in my (herbal) tea, (homemade) muffins, bread and especially birthday cake and desserts. In the process of this lifestyle change I have lost about 10lbs and my skin looks much healthier, although I still sometimes get my "bindi zits".
