It was exactly two weeks ago that I took up the challenge of quitting sugar because it’s cancerous and my body was often craving it, making me act weird, but I’m in control, so I have the power to decide if I will let that substance control me or not.
People have been asking me how is everything going, but I decided to postpone making this post because there was nothing much to say, it went pretty smooth but last night something came up, and I have to share it with you.
At first, it was a bit harder but because I was always busy, always on the run caught up in work, projects and writing it didn’t feel that hard and I soon suddenly forgot about the sugar. But, as the time passed I started having more thoughts about sugar when I saw something tasty but, they didn’t consist a big part of my thoughts, they came as they go.
If I felt the need for some sugar I was eating some fruits because the sugar within them is neutralized, I don’t know all the details but, of course, fruits are healthy. Everything went pretty well until last night.
So, last night I was out with some of my buds, 
I knew what I was doing, but it seemed like not such big of a deal. We soon after that got some sweeter and not so strong drinks and finished the night and went home. It’s not such a big deal that I drunk that juice last night, but it is that I broke my commitment.
The fun thing is that after being sugar-free for two weeks and drinking some soda, my teeth felt so bad thanks to that sugar, that’s something that should put you on thoughts and your soda drinking behaviors if you have some.
Against the fact that my schedule is pretty fucked up lately I managed to stick to this intermittent fasting thing, and it went well.
In the beginning, the hunger cravings were so powerful but a few days into the challenge and it already got easier and easier, that sometimes I even went like 20 hours straight without eating and only having food in a four-hour window. I started feeling better and more energetic and being honest I’m looking forward to seeing how everything will change from now on.
Even if I broke my sugar challenge for one night of drunkness, I will keep on going from now and see what happens because I don’t want to start eating sugar again and I like the way I start to feel. I found out that fruits taste so freaking better than sweets, it’s just amazing.
Also, I will keep on intermittent fasting for as long as I can, at least for this month but because I have a fucked up schedule I will probably not be able to do it 16 hours every day, but it will be at least 12 and maybe even 20 sometimes.
You should give this a try you will love the way you will feel.
