This year, is probably the first year in my entire adult life, that I have not had Halloween candy...not one bite!!! The great thing is, is I don't miss it. I have not felt like I've been deprived of anything. How did I do it, well first off, properly fueling my body has helped. The other thing is, I've been busy making things for my friends and neighbors. Instead of my usual "language of Love" - making sweets or goodies, This year, I painted little wooden pumpkins for the adults....and well I did give a little bag of candy to the kids. Could not help myself. At least it was little, unlike other years when their bags would be stuffed with goodies. I think the hardest thing, for me, is trying to figure out what to do...how to show love...without using food.
Instead of candy, my goodies have been.....veggies!!!
Love them!! I've noticed since I have not had sugar in my system that my moods are more even keel and I not plagued by cravings.
Seems before, my brain was so consumed with how and when I was going to have my next sugar fix. Now, I have clarity of mind and a whole lot more energy!! I've been more creative and active than I have ever been since starting my new plan.
I really want to live life and live to its fullest.
I'M HAVING A BLAST!!
Taking one healthy step at a time!!
How are you doing this Halloween?
Have a fit day!
I know what you mean about not giving sweet treats as gifts. That was one of my love languages as well. My family totally understood when I told them. Now the sweet treats are rarer and all the more valuable to them.
