I did it!

It's now September 3. I've been meaning to post again for quite a while, but my family's been plagued with a very nasty cold. Two of us were actually feeling better, then worse as the second wave hit, knocking us off our feet and into bed for days. I'm back at school and have a few minutes before my first class.

When last I posted, I'd lost 2 pounds and was wondering if it was legit or a normal weight fluctuation. I'm happy to report that when I weighed myself the following week, not only did the number on the scale not go up, it went down another 2 pounds, for a grand total of 4.

I started this experiment to see what would happen, but I was also wondering if it was true that sugar is making me overweight. It seems that the answer to my questions are I lost weight and, although it might not be entirely responsible, it is probably a contributing factor. In terms of "what would happen," the biggest thing is probably that I've changed, hopefully for good. More than anything, I've realized that I want to live like this. I suppose I should confess that, in case anyone thinks I'm now an anti-sugar nut, on Labor Day I ate 2 bites of a Paradise Bakery chocolate chip cookies. It was delicious!
