I made it through the zucchini bread, chocolates, cookies, cake, and ice cream temptations yesterday. But barely. I truly would have given up were it not for the fact that I had support from my friend and although she'd be very understanding if I caved, I didn't want to have to admit defeat. So I stayed the course. Mind you, no one pressured me to eat anything, they just offered and I felt guilty or uncomfortable saying no. I was afraid of being teased or even just questioned. But since I was honestly still full from dinner, I just said I was full and no one questioned it. I sat at the table as they all ate dessert, sweet aromas tempting me. But I stayed the course.
It's very important, especially at the beginning, to have support. If no one else knew I was trying to give up sugar last night, I would have had at least some cake and ice cream, and then this morning I would feel defeated and hopeless and just give up. But this morning, instead, I am relieved and grateful and hopeful. Here's to supportive friends!
