Time For Change Again

Five years ago, I went on an extreme diet that further helped my nerve pain get under control. In a little over 3 months I moved from weighing 205 lbs down to 165lbs. For the longest time, I never gained back more than 10 lbs. Then, eventually I gained back a total of 20 lbs. I concluded that I was perfectly fine weighing 185lbs.

Unfortunately, my sugar addiction has reared its head again. In the past five days alone, I’ve gained five more pounds. I’m now back up to 193 lbs. The weight alone doesn’t bother me greatly. However, it reflects why my lower back has been feeling greatly inflamed lately. Pudding, pies, cakes, donuts, cookies, candy, and anything else sweet has once again become my kryptonite.

I’m putting this out here because it keeps me accountable. My sugar detox and change in diet starts tonight. I will be back down to just 185lbs in the next two weeks. I still drink only water daily. However, the sugar and fast food has got to go. I’m also trying to start back walking daily. Time has proven these things will benefit my health in many ways. If you know you need to make a health change you need to make it. Just set a goal and take one right step at a time. 🙏
