a little sweet update

24.11.2022

A little while ago, I tried giving up sugar. Tried being the operative word here. I wouldn’t say I failed miserable, but I certainly haven’t succeeded as much as I was hoping to.

Me trying to give up sugar

For a while I almost managed to stop buying sugar, sweets and chocolate, but with so many lovely sweet treats out there… I just can’t seem to drop it completely.

All that said, my sugar intake – specifically from things like chocolates and sweets has decreased considerably (it’s everything else I eat, the quantities and the clear lack of exercise that is not helping me to shed the pounds). But, yes I have reduced the quantities of chocolates I eat, to the point where – one Lindt chocolate is fine, 2 is doable, but three is actually too much. And when I say too much, I mean too much. That 3rd piece is just to sweet to the point where it can make me feel queasy.

So, yeah. That’s where I am on my sweet sugary, chocolate journey. And now we’re heading towards Christmas… talk about a hurdle on the horizon.
