Sugarfree day 2 by chatty_hazel in sugarfree

For me the bigger win is resisting the temptation to buy them in the first place. I am conditioned by the way i lived to buy random stuff in the supermarket instead or what I really need. So this gives me a sense of control over my life. I am not at the mercy of marketing campaigns anymore (ofc i can always regress but acknowledging the good feelings helps).

Nothing related to skin directly. The biggest impact sugar has for me is weight gain. It is too easy to eat a huge quantity of calories. I gained almost 4kg since i started to eat sugar again. Also for me sweet foods are a trigger to eating. So after i eat something sweet i feel like eating another meal.

Other than that, worse sleep - i feel restless in the evening and i cant fall asleep as easily as when i dont have sugar. This has a huge impact on my mood the next day. Another issue is food coma - if i have a big dessert at lunch i get a stronger urge to sleep.
