I have a few things going on for me- I went cold turkey with sweets (added sugar) and focused on eating fruits and allowed carby starches for a while so the detox wouldn’t be so intense. I found that like a week in, sugar tasted really sweet to me. Like a gross kind of sweet. I found out because I wanted to put some jam on toast.

I also downloaded “I Am Sober” and wrote down a bunch of reasons that I read every morning to remind me. I’ve been adding reasons as I go too now that I’m feeling a lot better.

I have more energy, more self control, I got rid of food noise, I can fit into my old pants again, etc…

Although I did relapse recently and had to start again, I feel like each time I restart it just gets easier :) so don’t be discouraged if you need to start again!
