Hello Yasemin, Thank you for asking. So far I’m 1 hour away from Day 11. I have been doing very well.
At times a thought may come up, but I counteract it and remember why am I doing this. And so far it’s working. It’s an incredible mind game.
But I look forward to checking in to help keep me accountable to this wonderful site 
Again, thank you for checking on me 
It means a lot when you’re in a group.

I’m here sorry I’ve been posting in my journal!
Here is what I posted today:
Sugar Monster is the devil:
Today I fought the sugar monster for a few hours…
I had to go to the store to buy milk and I was sitting on the couch arguing with myself about which grocery store to go to:
- One of the grocery stores closest to me has an evil bakery with these incredible freshly made cookies… they are the devil… that store is also much more expensive of a grocery store so it’s best to avoid it)
- One grocery store is the basic one with cheaper food, nothing fancy and good produce…
The struggle is real for everyone, we have to make a daily decision to avoid sugar and no one is exempt from these difficulties when they are sugar addicts.
I sat on the couch for about an hour contemplating whether I should go get something sugary at the “bad” grocery store or go to the “good” one … Very time consuming conversation with myself
Rough afternoon! Finally I beat all the monsters and avoided the bad grocery store and ended up going to another random grocery store beside UPS (while returning a package) and BOOM it had a bakery… luckily there was nothing exciting (I took a peek, but it’s really those damn cookies at the other grocery store which were trying to seduce me!!!) Dodged that bakery at the random grocery store too… came home and ate vegetables… won the first battle…
Then I scrolled through the pregnancy group i am part of on Facebook and everyone is posting all their insane sugary snacks that they are eating “pregnancy cravings” and sending their husbands off to buy the treats … Many people posting these freshly baked cinnamon rolls, and it caused a ripple effect in the pregnancy group and suddenly EVERYONE in the group is making cinnamon buns… Now I realize sugar is no good for me (nor baby) and I don’t want to keep falling in the trap if “unhealthy pregnancy cravings”… I fell into that trap in first trimester, and there’s a fine line between pregnancy cravings and aversions and simply just pure gluttony, indulgence and lack of self control… Since I don’t have the INTENSE food aversions that I had in first trimester during the morning sickness and nausea phase, I really have NO EXCUSE to give myself garbage food/sugar and use pregnancy as an excuse to indulge - I used that excuse far too much in first trimester - so I am learning from my mistakes. That being said, rough day with animal brain cravings today, and realizing that I don’t need it, and just because I am pregnant doesn’t mean I should indulge all the time… and I sure know that it is not beneficial to be consuming since the little nugget growing inside me definitely doesn’t need processed junk and sugar either…
This is why journalling is important - by the end of this journal post I am 100% confident about my decision!
I will just go for my 50 min SLOW elliptical ride that I’ll post in the workout section above and I’ll keep drinking water - no sugar is rough, but I’ve done it for 365 days in the past, so I will do it again! 
My Mantra: “Sugar is not benefitting my body nor feeding the baby inside me” 
If you are reading this and struggling with the sugar monster today, go write a journal post and skip the sugar! Let’s keep this up!

Day 19. 4. 3 more hours before Day 20 of “NO SUGAR”.
Something funny happened today. My family had eaten lunch before I did, so I said to them that I wanted to wait to eat after they were finished. They said that was fine.
So when I was preparing my meal, my husband sat at the table and asked me could he eat his pie at the table. I told him my motto was/is “Out of site, Out of mind”. Meaning no sugary foods in front of me. So he said he understood. I was so happy about that because he knew what I was doing to get my body to be as healthy as I can. Meaning “NO SUGAR”

I’m on Day 23 of the “No Sugar” challenge
But, I still have that sugary shadow following me trying to get me to give in. But the great news is that I haven’t given in to it. I am aware that it may not go away completely, but at least I’m aware of it and finding alternatives when the sugary shadow comes knocking
