So close, and yet so far. With practically one day left, and I am instead forced to think about next month. While this month I started with a simple challenge and made it more difficult, the coming month will a hard challenge. No doubt about it. Today, I bought the one and only thing to help me through it (More on that to follow tomorrow).
I realized last night when I was at a local coffee shop that I had basically forgotten all about the pastry case that is ubiquitous in all coffee shops. Well, maybe not forgotten. But my brain has unconsciously made me ignore it. I am aware of it, but my subconscious just kind of says "Oh that? Not for you. Pay no attention.", and I actually can. I thought this was a breakthrough of sorts. But can you really call it a breakthrough this close to the end?
With that piece of information alone, I'd say no. Yet today, when I was in a similar situation (i.e. the coffee house and the pastry case), I stopped and had a look at it. I was vaguely interested, but frankly I had no interest. I know I have been talking a big game about a sugar binge the moment this is all over, but now I am not so sure. I'm not even sure I'll be able to handle the sweetness of some things after this. But it will be nice to be able to drink again, and to not restrict my diet so severely (did you know almost all pizza sauces have sugar in them? It's true! I've been dying for a slice!). So I guess that's what I'm really looking forward to: an unrestricted diet again!
Well, almost unrestricted..stay tuned until tomorrow, when I reveal the next big challenge, and my thoughts and conclusions during this long, cold, and mostly savory January!
