withdrawal symptoms.

*written on the 12th Feb.

I decided to do some research online to find out what sort of symptoms come with sugar withdrawal. This is what I found.

"The withdrawal symptoms may manifest themselves in severe and intense cravings for sugary foods, or they may include more serious conditions such as headaches or nausea."

My first thought was "why in the heck am I doing this?" as, since lunch, a dull ache has hovered between my jaw and eyebrows, encompassing the top of my head. However I am still not craving the sugary foods. One of the children I look after turned up with cake today and I haven't been tempted. At the same time I usually never buy cakes and biscuits because, dagnabbit, they call to me as long as they're in the house. I'm pretty sure I'm not tempted because I know that I won't be eating them.

As for mood swings and nausea - well not at this point...

And my energy? I slept for 9 hours last night and woke up feeling as though I could easily sleep for 9 more!

Today's food was porridge with mixed seeds, nuts and goji berries. Lunch was a salad of mixed leaves, avocado, tomato, walnuts and sunflower seeds with a banana and apple for dessert. For a snack I had more nuts and some cheese. Currently I have gammon cooking. I'll do eggs, peas and broccoli with that.
