Today I tightened my belt, and realized I could tighten it an extra notch. That means I must have lost weight. Now, I can't say for certain if it's a lack of sugar in my life that has caused this. On the one hand, I have been making a conscious effort to get out and walk more. Every day, I have made it a point to walk to work and home again, a journey that takes just under an hour both ways. I know this is definitely having an impact.
However, I also know my eating habits have getting more and more atrocious as the month has continued. The more I have a sugar craving, the more likely I am to lean on a salty or fatty snack. In fact, I'd say I probably eat worse in some ways than I did before, since I don't feel the need to eat a balanced meal as much to counteract the dessert. Even though I know it's not true, I think subconsciously my brain is convincing me that anything I eat that doesn't have sugar is somehow fine. I guess the best you can really hope for is to manage your vices sensibly so they don't get out of control.
At the end of the day, I can definitely say I've lost some weight, even if I am eating worse than before. If sugar is not the cause, it's at least a positive contributing factor. So whatever the reason, I'm chalking that fact up as proof this month has been a success so far. Just 1 week left!
