In the past 20 days, I have half-purged once.

I am not diabetic, but got an A1C test for other reasons. It showed my 3-month history was 5.5 (with normal being 4 - 5.7). That was a jolt of cold water to my face. I'd dumbly thought that since I wasn't gaining weight, everything was ok, despite the ridiculous amounts of junk I was eating/not keeping.

Now all I can think about is the A1C is a lie-detector test. Like Santa, it knows if I've been naughty or nice. So I've gone cold turkey.

Then I wonder, why on earth did I pick the holidays to stop eating sugar? Treats are E V E R Y W H E R E. I even baked and did not put a morsel to my lips.

Is it wrong that I also feel superior to everyone who is indulging?
Thanks for this!

Two days and I don't want to go back.
I haven't done this for ten years, and I started again this year, a few times. I really hope this was it...

Thanks! Not buying junk food has helped. Plus I have been eating a full 3 meals a day plus a snack or two so I don't let myself get too hungry. Also, I am going to start going to overeaters anonymous soon. I bought the 12 Steps 12 Traditions book of OA and have been applying principles of what I find in there too my life
