It’s been 5 days since the end of my 28 Day Sugar Detox. I was absolutely annoyed and frustrated during those 28 days because I had to change my entire diet because I only ate sugary foods.
I managed to make it through though. I went 28 days without eating anything with processed sugar in it. I snacked on fruits instead of cakes and cookies and I ate sandwhiches instead of cereals. Once it was done I figured I’d go all in on a binge back to my regular sugar habits and I was afraid to go to the grocery store but I realized that I had to face my fear.
Just 2 days after my sugar detox ended, I walked into the McDonald’s across the street and I ordered an icecream cone. Yes, that delicious, soft serve cone that I had been lusting after for 28 days was now in my hand. I took a quick lick. And then another. And then…What the hell?
I don’t want this. I want some frozen grapes.
I was dumbfounded.
What happened to my icecream cone? Why doesn’t it taste good anymore?
I waited 2 more days and I went to the grocery store to load up on cereal. I chose the most sugary sweet one I could find, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I was eager to get my sugar fix.
I went home, made a bowl with delicious WHOLE milk and then I sat down to enjoy my evening. I took a spoonful and put it in my mouth.
Blech.
This tastes horrible! I want a plum!
I want a plum!
What happened? Why doesn’t sugar taste the same? It’s not good enough for me anymore. All I want is fruit.
What happened to my sweet tooth?
I’m currently doing “No Soda September” and hoping for similar results because that sugary, fizzy stuff is my weakness.
Not wanting sweet stuff isn’t a bad thing, you know lol…all you have to do now is find a good farmer’s market for your fruit fix, which I’m sure are a’plenty in Cali.
