Army Ring in the New Year!!

[starty]

Ohhh that is a great idea Jax! I will suggest it to him. He is also quitting the smokes

[sunbird2]

Ha ha yes Jax

Mr S has delivered me 8 belgian buns and still says he will give up booze in new year. Mind you, he has just bought himself 2 bottles of jack daniels

HaHa...2 a day for the next 4 days of 2015!!

[starty]

I'da bought the two bottles of Jack Daniels if I'd had the chance!!! not recommending it you understand just know I'da done it if my quit day was a few days away --achully - counting up the days I'd have bought another one

Yes, me too. and a load of other stuff and I would have felt sooooo horrible and depressed after I had drunk it all. I remember one Christmas we did a booze cruise and had so much wine it wasn't true so of course I just guzzled it. It was one of the most depressing Christmases I had ever had, I remember sitting in the bath with my wine and wishing I was dead

HaHa...2 a day for the next 4 days of 2015!!

I don't think they will last that long :newhere:

[sunbird2]

Yes ....well it'll be easier when we go sugar free on Friday....Please God!!!

We got a Nutribullit (sp) for Chrimbo................first question I asked was can you put chocolate in it.

Hi, Army -

I bumped a couple threads for those of you interested in reducing/eliminating sugar (or added sugar) intake.

Here's a user-friendly summary that explains why some people have similar experiences with food to those with alcohol: What Happens to Your Brain on Sugar, Explained by Science - Mic.

For me, intake of sugar or alcohol sets up a desire for the other. I quit sugar well before AL and believe that my drinking worsened at that time, just like many people develop a sweet tooth when they quit drinking. Our brains seen to want that fix one way or the other.

My full name is NoSugarOrCrappyCarbsOrGlutenOrAlcohol. It is doubtful that most people need to go that far to feel good but IMHO, experimenting is worth a try. We don't need any of them and like with AL, you might be shocked at how much better you feel w/o them.

Here's to a happy and healthy 2016 :smile:!

Is the sp for special...they are quite pricey?

[sunbird2]

Afternoon army. I need to cut down on the suger too i have going a bit overboard also and still have some choc here i bought myself and was given as xmas pressies. Welcome Jeff do you have a link or website? Another windy stormy day here and i need to get out for awhile. Feeling a bit low today. Just going to finish some cleaning then i'll have a shower and see what i'll do. So glad xmas is over and just new year eves then before the 6th the tree and decorations can come down.

Thank you NS, thats great. I will need to do a bit more reading here, but I think it will be worth it. Would you ever have natural sugar, fruit for example? Is it all or nothing, just like alcohol?

Sunny, I knew your husband passed away, but I cant remember how long ago? He sounded like a very healthy good man. Was he young?

Feeling a bit low today. Just going to finish some cleaning then i'll have a shower and see what i'll do. So glad xmas is over and just new year eves then before the 6th the tree and decorations can come down.

Its a funny time Foxy, the big build up with everyone focused on one day, then puff.. its gone. Windy out there, tomorrow is supposed to be worse, I'll be blown into town and home again.

-Alcohol reading and research
-3 Principles reading and research
-No Sugar reading and research

The amount of homework we get here, Glitzy, you dont have time to feel low, never mind time for a shower.. NS will be back soon with a TEST!

[NoSugar]

Hey, no test and I'll not go on and on about my favorite topics unless asked :05.18-flustered:

So, as to fruit - I do eat some now and then but more like a treat or dessert. Berries are my favorite. Concentrated fructose sources like dates or other dried fruits are very special treats, with only one or 2 eaten. Amazingly, that is now enough. It takes about 30 days to have your tastebuds turnover and once you do, sweet things become so dang sweet, you really don't want much. I'm 100% gluten- and alcohol- free and about 95% on sugar and crummy carbs. I no longer am triggered to eat more junk or drink by a small serving of a treat. I've accidently ingested gluten with awful consequences and I refuse to run the experiment with Alcohol.

Ahh it will pass just a couple of issues i had to deal with which were not so pleasent yesterday but its ok now i hope. Yeah it does drag on a bit this xmas lark but once new years eve is over that its and ease in to a new year. I do like some honey and dried fruit now and then so i'll be looking in to ns eating plan. Yep its raining now again the weather has been crap but not cold.
