How It's Going

You may wonder, how's my plan for better health going? I've been meatless for 9 days, gluten-free for 6 days and almost 3 days dairy-free as well. So, it's going well! I'm not hungry and I'm not really struggling with cravings. Every once in a while I feel a surge of anxiety but I've decided that it's just "regular everyday anxiety" that I would normally quell with food. I'm trying to find ways of dealing with the stress other than stuffing my face. No great ideas so far. For now I've been just stopping and simply breathing deeply. It does help to some degree. I think I have to accept that stressful situations happen everyday and remind my self that no stressful situation lasts forever. Just gotta push through the anxious time to a more relaxing one.

I have noticed that my emotions are much more even in general. I assume it's because I'm not flooding my body with calories. Although I don't know exactly how it works I know that when your blood sugar rises and falls fast it can effect your hormones. I've been trying to eat every two hours to keep my blood sugar even.

So, yes, I'm doing well with the foods I've given up so far but I still have the hardest hurdle, sugar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I let sugar go tomorrow and I'm gearing up for it. I'm really nervous to be honest but I can do it. I considered doing sugar and caffine all at once to get to my 21-days faster but I don't think that is a good idea.
