Last time I did it, I struggled in the beginning but it got easy quite quickly. This time was so different. Three weeks into it I was still struggling and having bad cravings but pushed forward. I told myself I would do it until it was no longer hard to do. It worked! It got easy and I stopped just in time for V-Day. It worked so well that I was having a hard time making myself eat all the sweets I got from my lovely kiddos.
During this time back on sugar, my face broke out more than it has in a loooooong time and I felt so yucky. I was not happy, so I'm back on again. Let's see how long I can make it last this time. Who knows, maybe forever!
Limited sweets has brought about so many unexpected benefits. A cleared-up face is just the start!
Typically when I over eat salty foods I counteract it with sweets. Without sweets, my appeal for salty foods has diminished and I crave good, healthy foods! Also, those impulse buys at the grocery store have ceased. Seeing as I can't eat the food I typically impulsively buy, I don't buy them and I''m saving money. I lost three pounds the first two weeks I did this. What a fast way to lose a couple pounds!

Good luck!! I went sugar free for the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy. It was SOO hard at first (especially the first 48 hours or so) and then got easier. I loved going to the grocery store and saying, "Can't have that. Can't buy that". Saved money and I loved it. But if it wasn't for my son and my want for a VBAC, I'm not sure I could've done it. So I think you are pretty much amazing! good luck!
