Day 6: "Tastes so good you won’t know it’s sugar free”

Maybe I was just worn out by my into everything, I’m not going to take a nap this afternoon 1 year-old, or maybe it was the realization that my husband would not be home to take over with aforementioned 1year-old for at least an hour. But I impulsively bought some sugar free cookies when I was at the grocery store this afternoon. Besides, how could I go wrong with “Tastes so good you won’t know it’s sugar free” plastered all over the packaging? Believe me I knew. They didn’t taste awful, but there was a strange aftertaste. After eating one, I thought, maybe if I have a couple more, I will get used to the aftertaste. Well that strategy only made me feel like I was gonna vomit. Needless to say, there will be no more sugar free cookie purchases in my immediate future.


The whole incident got me thinking about sugar craving. Today for the first time, afternoon wasn’t difficult (until that ill-fated trip to the store). I did have sugar cravings, but they seemed more psychological than physical. I’ve never experienced that before (or at least I’ve never recognized it). It seems like any psychological cravings I’ve had were always accompanied by physical ones. This time, it felt like my mind and only my mind was telling me that I needed to eat sugar. So maybe things will get easier soon.
