Day one of the no sugar challenge and I slipped. Without even realizing, I got a hot chocolate and didn’t even think about it until I had drunk most of it. Oops. Now, I could beat myself up about it and toss the whole thing, but that is no fun. It is just time to start over and be mindful. I tell you this because I am human and not having an easy time of it.
Being mindful is a hard thing to do, we are creatures of habit and if it is not a habit to avoid something then it takes some doing to unlearn the unwanted habit and learn the new one. It took me three months to really finally give up coffee, meaning I didn’t have to think about ordering tea instead. That whole thing about it taking only 6 weeks to learn a new habit is bull pucky, everyone is different and so is every habit.
At least this time my butt doesn’t hurt.
