Sugar detox: Day two

Day two was definitely tougher than day one. Breakfast was a tasty (if flat) omelette with nothing but pepper for flavoring, and water to drink. Lunch was some ground beef, which I was going to make into a hamburger—then decided that a hamburger without cheese, tomatoes, and a bun would just be depressing. So I just mixed it up with some spices and ate it that way, along with some broccoli and water (of course).

Dinner was roasted chicken breast with a touch of lemon juice and other spices (edible enough), and some celery sticks (without peanut butter, I don't like celery nearly as much!). Snacks during the day were pistachios and peanuts.

Again, I had no issues with feeling hungry today, and physically, I feel fine. But today, the taste buds were (are) definitely screaming for some sugar.

Opening the fridge, my eyes seem to only see the things with sugar, and not my shelf of special food. Drinking a glass of water, my mouth is letting me know it'd really rather be having something flavored. After dinner, the dessert bell rang loud and clear in my mind. I even had a thought of eating a donut, and I don't even like donuts.

Tomorrow could be a challenge!
