So this year I have been trying to cut back on sugars overall and for Lent I have given up excess sweets. I really have to say I don’t miss them. I did have 3 “mess ups” but one of them was pre-planned. I did have wedding cake at a wedding I went to. Then I had a piece of cookie cake which I regret because it wasn’t that good and I had been so successful at saying no to cookie cake in the past. Then I had a half a cup slow churn ice cream – which I really don’t feel bad about, it’s half the sugar of regular ice cream and I only had a little and I REALLY wanted it.
It’s just so interesting reading the sugar content on things and thinking back to when I thought I was making good decisions when I was eating low fat stuff, but the real issue is sugar. Even post lent I am really going to limit my excess sugar intake, unless I REALLY want it, but it’s not as a hard to say “NO” to things as I thought.
