In the early days our blood sugar is all messed up because our bodies are used to that constant supply of liquid calories that is basically sugar water.
Most of us crave sugar in the early months as a result...seems like lots of people even gain weight in the beginning, especially since water retention kicks in as well. But it eventually evens out.
You're doing the healthiest thing possible for yourself...stay focused on that accomplishment and not ask too much of yourself otherwise?
Sending you a hug.

For me, I got my sugar eating more under control after a few months, although it certainly crops up under stress...it's still less damaging than a bottle of wine.
My set point on my weight is now around seven pounds lower than it was when I was drinking. I'd say that took about nine months, but I'm older and have hormonal stuff going on in addition. That's why the comparisons to others aren't always helpful...physiologically, we all have a unique combination of genetics, basal metabolic rate, and activity levels.

For me the sugar craving was a phase and it only lasted about three weeks. It was funny because everyone in the SR "class" got it about the same time and all we posted about was ice cream, Blizzards, frosties, mcflurrys, for a while. It was a fun period, but I'm glad the sugar cravings stopped. I still have a drawer of plastic spoons I saved from all the blizzards I bought.

I ate All The Food when I quit. It's better than drinking and will level out eventually. For me, I figured I was having low blood sugar episodes as my body was used to having massive injections of calories in a short period of time- I was a binge drinker.

Definitely normal... I also drank so much water but couldn't seem to hold any of it down. Two weeks is awesome but your body takes a little while to snap back, especially if you were a binge drinker like me. I had to take vitamin supplements etc because I was so depleted... I was a vodka drinker.
