Ok, that's it! Cut me out of these pants. (Why I went off sugar)

So I know you've all been there.  Right?  When you go to pull out your summer clothes and you think, "Oh Yeah!  I love these pants." and then you go to pull them on and the thigh won't go over your calf.  Well, at least not as easily as they used to.  And then you pull them up and squeeze them over your butt and then you realize there is absolutely no way that you are going to button them without some Crisco and a second person involved. 

Maybe it didn't happen that way for you but I'm there.  Now.

 I could make the excuse that I just had a baby and I'm nursing.  But he's five months old and I still look six months pregnant.  And I could make the excuse that I have 2 babies, 17 months apart and I don't get more than 5 hours of sleep in a row at night and exercise is the LAST thing I think of doing during my free time. But I never really exercised after my first baby and I fit in those pants just fine.  And I could make the excuse that blah blah blah....

But I still feel tired, fat and too depressed to buy new size (blank) pants to wear while I weigh this much.

But I can't do one of my cleanses that are usually my "go to" diet.  I'm nursing. So I decided I was going off sugar. Seriously going off.  Not just skipping dessert, but actually not eating anything with the word sugar on the label.

 Intense, I know.

Then as I started thinking about it I started finding out several people in my life were doing the same thing and have been for a while.  And it was working!  My cute sister-in-law had been doing it mostly cause her health was not good and she had found that sugar was the main cause.  As a side effect, she said she was smaller than she had been since 8th grade!  Not sure if she was exaggerating but I'll take it.

And then my BFF has been doing it for 4 months and had easily lost 20 lbs.  I know that's not a lot in a short amount of time but she's little already and she said it was the easiest 20 lbs she's ever lost.   Her husband had lost more than 30 and he was still eating weird stuff at work.

So I enlisted their help and started doing it.  I want to blog this so if it works I can send people here and they can see how I did it.

 I also am the kind of person that plans dinner at about 5 pm and usually ends up feeding my family chicken quesadilla's cause that's what we have.  And I don't like recipes that have more than 5... maybe 7 ingredients.  I try some with more because that's what you have to do but it's usually going to be stuff I already have around the house with a few new ingredients I got at the health food store. 

Ok so wish me luck!
