Milestones

There's a few milestones you have to pass in order to be sugarfree throughout a whole year. Notable ones beeing

-Attending a birthday party for someone under 10 without eating cake
-Going home to mum's place and not eating sweets
-Setting off on a business trip without having desserts and pastries in meetings
-Surviving a hungover-Sunday without neither chocolate nor chips

Beeing quite close to finishing off my first business trip this year and having kept off sugar I'll say that #3 is ticked off on this list too now. But with both dad and my sister having their birthdays in the week to come I shouldn't be too cocky on the outcome for February just yet.

Mmm... Marabou

What I miss most, having stayed off sugar (well almost) for a month now, is not the cakes and ice-cream at parties. It's not that I can't have a bowl of chips on Fridays. It's more the convenience, the convenience of just getting a Snickers while at the store craving for some fast energy. Instead I resort to bananas and smoothies for instance, which of course is healthier but not quite as rewarding in a direct way as a bar of chocolate is.

Well well, let's hope that fades soon so I can walk past the aisles of temptations without feeling an urge to get a couple of hundred grams of milk chocolate :)
