This week I fasted from SUGAR. The week before, Brandon and I watched a few documentaries about sugar: That Sugar Film and Fed Up. I could not believe how detrimental sugar is to our bodies. We have become motivated to try and cut out as much sugar as we can.
The tricky part is that nearly every food label contains sugar. That means we need to eat whole foods and homemade foods as much as possible and it is hard to do with 3 little kids. It's gross how the foods you think are healthy are actually packed with sugar.
We didn't go crazy this week, but cut out all treats and candy and tried to limit a lot of starches. We had a sleepover at Justin and Katie's house and I did have a small bowl of ice cream. So I wasn't 100%, but much better than I've been the past year.
I don't have much self-control when it comes to sugar and I'm hoping that I can get better. If there are cookies in front of me, I can't just stop at 1. I'll eat them until they are gone. I'm going to try this fast another week for another week until it becomes a strong thing.
