38carrots Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 So here's a new one. At an event last night I was told that abstaining from sugar was " disordered" and " maybe a sign I have eating disorders." Wow, because when politely passing the cookies I said I was avoiding sugar. I didn't know I had entered nut territory. Ugh. Whatever. I can't stand the overly sweet cookies that other people bake! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 So here's a new one.

I didn't know I had entered nut territory. I'm guessing that whoever said that to you probably feels some guilt over their own sugar consumption and rather than change their habits they just deflect and make you look like the weird one. Yeah, people who abstain from sugar are in the minority but that doesn't mean they have eating disorders. Sigh...passing cookies and bean dip at the same time last night, huh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm wrapping it up. My 30 days ends on Monday. Just in time for Christmas cookies. I'm feeling pretty good about my lessened sugar intake. I'll work harder at cleaning up the rest of my diet once we get moved into our new house and life is less horrifically stressful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Well I NEEDED to be in (just seeing this thread as I've been absent from the boards). At this point I have just given up until after Christmas, but I feel DISGUSTING! I have done this before and need to ditch it for good. I feel terrible when I am eating poorly, and I have no energy. If anyone kicks something off after January 1, I'm in! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 I might be up for a post-holiday cleanse, depending on the state of my kitchen. We are going to be stove-less for at least a month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 My 30 days are up tomorrow. I fell off the wagon on Friday. D brought home cookies and chocolates. I ate them before I realized what I was doing. The good news is that I don't really think about it anymore. My goal was to break my pastry habit, and that is done. I'm going to treat myself a bit over the holidays, then do a detox/fitness challenge in January, take Feb off, another challenge in March, and so on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 OK~Now is the time! Let's get this back front and center. I made it through yesterday after a debauched Christmas :lol: . Anyone still interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'm on a break. I'll start up again January first. Until then, I have a donut maker to break in :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 I decided to indulge in a box of pastries before kicking off my next round. I didn't find most of them appealing, so I only chose a few. I ate one; didn't enjoy it, haven't eaten the others. I think I'll give them to the kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ofus Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm in! Today is day 14 for me-but I don't intend to necessarily stop at 30. I feel much better off sugar, but it's a slippery slope. I'm not someone who can have it in moderation, ever. One bite & I'm a sugar-holic all over again :(. One day at a time for as many days as possible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'll join if we begin on the 1st. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caclcoca Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 My plan is to start on Monday. I did 30 days no sugar last year, and I felt great after about five days. I let it creep back in over the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I am also starting on Monday!! I was no sugar for two months before Thanksgiving and it went really well. Anne 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
