Challenging day again with sick hubby. I awoke at 3am as he was so unwell, couldn't get back to sleep so am feeling pretty wiped out.

Early night planned. I can't wait to get into my warm, cosy bed.

I’m sorry PW

Seems like a lot of sadness going on the past week, myself included. Maybe it's a lot of pink clouds settling, maybe the promise of a new year turning into the grind, or maybe there is something in the air.

For anyone feeling so, you are not alone.

That said, I will not be eating any sugar tonight. Tomorrow may bring another result but for today I'm good :)

Morning everyone. Ok so sugar is definitely out. I had terrible sleep and I’m sluggish. It could be PMS but it doesn’t matter to me. It’s just not worth the 10 minutes of enjoyment. So that’s good to know. Today will be a quiet day and I’m hoping to get some housework done

My husband was up until about 4 this morning drinking and playing video games. He does this a lot. He has alcohol issues but is in total denial. I try to detach and not say anything to him but it scares me and makes me sad. He’s not healthy. We sleep in separate beds because of it. Not sure why I’m telling you all this. It’s just kind of weighing on me right now.

Hey Sunflower- I am glad you have found some clarity on the sugar thing. Like you, I am now 100% convinced (finally) that I cannot moderate and that I feel 3000x better when I eat keto and without sugar in any form! Highly palatable foods are out too and it's made a huge different with the way I feel and with my cravings.

I'm so sorry about your relationship and that you are dealing with an addicted husband. It's interesting how many of us have had similar situations- I almost left my husband a few years ago when I was trying to get sober (and relapsing) and he was still very active in his drinking.)

Your husband may come around at some point, you never know. All you can do right now is focus on YOU and your recovery from the food and of course be proud of yourself for you recovery with the alcohol.

I hope you have a relaxing day today- we are here if you need more support,always. :grouphug:
