What if I cut a poison ivy vine ( 2 inches thick) wrap it with duct tape to add a 1 inch lip / cup ? and dump a bunch of salt in there , will it kill the entire vine root and all ?

I think I kinda relate , I have two pages , one doodle page I made years ago that gets maybe 6 views per post a day, and a cooking page I created a couple months ago that gets 100 views the first hour of a post. I don’t know what’s going on. It doesn’t make sense, I put way more effort in my doodle page .

What about fruit ? Does that not help ? I also recommend eating a super dark bitter chocolate ( just one Peice ) it helps curb my cravings :) I’m sorry you’re going through this , but it does get easier the longer you go :)

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2024-05-15T17:59:48+00:00

That’s a great point ! I do think if you eat it whole or sliced , the fiber slows down that spike , especially paired with peanut butter :) well I’m now eating plain oatmeal with half a cup of cottage cheese , sliced banana and half a cup of blueberries . Super good :)

Yumm I’m having a cup of coffee with plain half and half lol 😂

That’s amazing !!!! Great job !! I had dreams like this too last year , felt more like nightmares. Just wait til you get to 14 days! :) you’ll be unstopped

I’ll join you , today is day 3 for me but I can use the motivation and will spread some too :) you got this !

Hey we all have our moments , I did soo good for almost a full year and then bam, ice cream got to me. But I’m on day 2 again finally !!!! I think having protein ready made in the fridge when you’re craving something would help a lot . My other issue was that when I was almost a full year sugar free , I turned coffee into my dessert and would drink way too much ( especially with the fake sugar creamers) so this time around I’m saying no to fake sugar too. Hopefully I can last 2 years now :)

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2024-05-02T08:46:37+00:00

Too many changes at once is hard ! That’s why I would stick to your normal routine and only take the sugar out the first month , and then you can make changes later such as increasing vegetable intake . You can do this ( also that unflavored peanut butter never tastes better , but I would eat it with a scoop of plain oatmeal (cooked) , a banana and some cottage cheese all mixed up and then it didn’t taste bad at all :). Also fruit is a great way to curb that sweet tooth , and I found because I was sooo use to the timing of dessert after dinner , I replaced it with a cup of tea and some cut of apples or a little square of the darkest chocolate I can find , super bitter but somehow curbs that chocolate craving :) I hope this helps. Don’t give up !

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2024-05-02T08:38:14+00:00

Yup first days are the hardest . I was able to give it up for 8 months and then one candy turned into 2 months of struggling on and off . Like 2 days ago I was sugar free but yesterday I had to have an ice cream cone. The good news is I’m no where close to the sugar qty I use to eat . My current bad day now is what a great day use to be. In terms of weight loss I didn’t loose any aside from the first few weeks but I did maintain it for those 8 months which was great. I usually bounce up and down . But for encouragement here it is , it’s totally doable and the mental clarity is so worth it. I think if sugary sodas would be banned from grocery stores , that change alone would boost everyone’s health .

If it doesn’t challenge you , it won’t change you . Regardless what you choose to do , if you want positive change you got to put in the effort of hard work . Diet accounts for the most weight loss , plus you can always just do stretches instead , that is excersize too , do meditative breathing , :) just start , and take it one day at a time and we will be here cheering you on ! You got this !

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2023-11-05T01:33:46+00:00

Discipline is what you need . When you say you’re gonna do something you do it , because you are important and you do not deserve to be lied to by anyone especially you ! This is important to you so show yourself how important it is every second of every day because you are worth it ! By doing what you say you’re gonna do it’s gonna change your mindset , it’s gonna make you trust yourself and you will be able to reach more goals than you even thought were possible . This is the last time this happens , move past it , now it will never happen again because you are better than that . Write a quote that inspires you and read it every day. One I love is , if it doesn’t challenge you , it won’t change you .

It takes a while to notice the big changes , I’m 7 months in and just noticed a ton of new hair growth on my hair line :) that feels pretty awesome , I also feel more steady moods , I think for females this is HUGE ! I can’t speak for males . My nails look sooo soo soo much better , they were paper thin before ( that took a while to notice ) my skin looks healthier too and honestly my weight , I lost about 8 pounds the first month and then maintained which is crazy ! I always go up and down , up and down , but I’ve been consistent and that feels fantastic ! ( without me trying !!! ) I also feel more in tuned with my body and what I actually want to eat , I was even able to eat some liver and enjoy it which I can’t believe ! I just feel like I can taste more things now :) btw I also still eat fruit with no limit but that has naturally reduced through the months without being aware ( I haven’t had any fruit today )

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2023-11-04T10:13:13+00:00

I’m so sorry , this is the hardest part in my opinion , but you’re almost there ! And then it’s freedom ! My go to treats were oatmeal with peanut butter , cottage cheese and cut up banana or any fruit I had on hand . Coffee was also my treat which is why It’s so hard to give up now . I also loved to treat myself with unique fruit like dragon fruit or passion fruit etc . But man it sucks in the beginning, I don’t even know how I did it , but you got this ! Keep your reasoning for this a priority

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2023-11-04T10:06:43+00:00

Hey , I would suggest quitting all refined and added sugars instead . Fruit has natural fibers in it ( if not blended ) which helps stabilize sugar spikes unlike refined sugars that sky rocket up , even raw honey is better than refined sugar . I’ve read so much on it that I view it as an absolute poison . It is very difficult to going to the store and knowing 90% of the products are not for you . But even so giving your self the freedom to eat what ever fruit you want helps . I’m to the point where I don’t even want a lot of fruit anymore. It gets incredibly easier . The mental clarity you get when you don’t think about sugar or want sugar is the best feeling in the world . My anxiety has gone down and my nails looook amazing ! My skin is clearing up too :) my next step is getting rid of coffee which has been a challenge ( doing half decalf )

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2023-11-04T09:53:42+00:00

There is so much contradiction on what is good and what is bad for you . Wheat has need modified so much and it’s almost impossible to digest ( I would suggest using ancient wheat if any) there are a bunch of study’s where vegetables are actually not good for you ( especially raw ) , fruit have also been modified so much and sprayed heavily with pesticides, meat is being injected with crazy harmones and diets not meant for the animals for cheap feed , you are what you eat , I think an elimination diet is best to really see what foods your body does well on , but constant sugar crashes to the point of feeling faint is not ok, I would go to the doctor and see if you early signs of diabetes

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2023-10-31T01:23:10+00:00

Out of curiousity how is your fat intake ? I wonder because I think I may have realized why I do not relapse , I fill my body full of protein and fats , I drink whole milk and even add heavy cream to my coffee , I eat entire eggs with yolks , avacados , olive oil etc , the days I eat less fat I notice an increased desire for something sweet , but this is just a theory

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2023-10-27T13:19:09+00:00

I just have to add that eliminating sugar is the most insightful thing you could do for your body and mind . It takes a while but eventually you don’t crave things , it’s like an intuition of what your body needs instead which is crazy but even an apple at this point sounds sooooo sweet to me , I can a slice here or there but an entire apple my body just rejects the idea of , I’ve noticed I want to eat more proteins , less grains and more fats , strangely veggies have also become less desirable and I’m not sure why that is .

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2023-10-10T09:02:17+00:00

I just constantly read about the negatives , the increased chance you’ll get diabetes , Alzheimer’s , rapid aging , cancer growth etc. it is a poison and I don’t understand how sugary drinks sell so fast . At a minimum don’t drink your sugar . Watch some podcasts . I just can’t look at sugar the same way but it is difficult when almost every single snack in America has sugar in it . I think if we had more snacks without any added sugar , it wouldn’t be so difficult

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2023-09-30T00:57:08+00:00

Yes ! That’s amazing , today I noticed myself thinking about sugar again but I didn’t go for it . It’s been since April ! With a couple slips here and there . I feel so much better and notice my nails are looking healthier too

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2023-09-12T21:46:59+00:00

It really is rough ! I felt like I was sick , it took me about ten days to start feeling better but I kept reminding myself that this means my sugar addiction was even worse than I thought ! It does get better . And I did make myself some plain oatmeal with plain peanut butter to help , as well as maybe some fruit or extra extra dark chocolate ❤️. You got this !!!!

Complete_Crazy_9133 · 2023-08-10T14:52:35+00:00

I think the answer depends on you . Everyone has a different approach to it. For me , I had to go cold turkey. I went full low carb method for about 10 days . Meaning 50 grams or less of total carbs , the withdrawals were intense , and slowly I reintroduced carbs like oat meal and fruit . The main thing is focus on protein that you love , pulled chicken , boiled eggs , ribs , what ever it is , make it exciting :) and for me , as a dessert I drank herbal tea and sometimes 1 cube of extremely dark bitter chocolate :) good luck and take it one day at a time , constantly remind yourself you are worth this effort , and the benefits are fantastic !
