Caution: Mood swings ahead!!

Wow!! It goes to show how much of an effect sugar has on the brain alone. Due to severe depression and anxiety I am on quite a high dose of antidepressants. The past 2 days you wouldn't have thought it. I have been extremely moody and irritable. Generally I am a very happy person but no it was more like a scene out of the exorcist. Ok so maybe that's a little extreme but I felt like I wasn't in control of myself. Other than that everything has been going great.

I will admit I fell of the wagon yesterday. I had 2 red frogs. My favorite. At least they were. Having sugar sent my body into a state of shock. I was vomiting and shaking along with headaches. A little bit like coming off sugar. Just worse. I see it as a good sign though. My body does not like sugar anymore. Yay!!

Along with my face clearing up and having more energy I decided to jump on the scales today. 1kg down. Woo hoo!!

I was expecting weeks of looking at chocolate or doughnuts and craving them. Not even the slightest. I eat now when I need to and I stop when it's enough. Being in my shoes, that is a massive step forward for me.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I have also brought Sarah Wilson's eBook I Quit Sugar. I have found it a god send. She goes through an 8 week plan that is easy to follow. It's pure awesomeness.
