Facing a HUGE challenge
Yesterday I said farewell to the class of 2016 at our Secondary school. It was an emotionally challenging time as I have come to love many of those students. I saw them grow and develop from the oftentimes awkward 11 to 13 year olds who came in to us in 2011 into the confident, accomplished young men and women who crossed the stage to receive their certificates.
Among the parting gifts that many of them brought me were two huge huge chocolate bars, bags of Hershey's Kisses, and a lovely basket of assorted confectioneries. Wow! They really catered to my openly-acknowledged sweet tooth!
The 'me' of a month ago would have spent last night and today feasting on all that chocolate. Instead, yesterday I enjoyed the loving thoughts that accompanied the edible gifts, but passed on the eating pleasure to my daughter and her classmates. Today I am looking at the lovely bouquet of fresh flowers, the thank you cards and the wall plaques, and feel as satisfied as if I had gorged on the chocolates. I am also proud that at the post-graduation luncheon I refused all the high-carb foods and settled for a simple salad, sauteed vegetables and beans.
Now that I have passed that hurdle, I think that I will be able to give LCHF a try. I will have to make some modifications because I do not eat meat, fish, poultry and eggs. However I am now convinced that I have the willpower, in fact the WON'T power, to resist the sugars and carbs to which I was addicted.
