Success! Even though I had a very garlicky restaurant lunch which gives me horrible sugar cravings. I just brushed my teeth more.

Success on Tuesday! Even though work was very stressful and I CRAVED sugar. I did have some fruit juice.
I had terrible sugar cravings the first few weeks and couldn't stop anticipating my S day treats. I found that fruit really works as a palate cleanser and a way to end the meal. At first I didn't like having it with my meals. I was used to eating it between meals and it gave me a bit of tummy discomfort. But that went away and I really do enjoy it now. Most of the time it's just a couple of apricots or a few cherries. Sometimes I want a bit more and I'll slice up a banana and put a bit of cottage cheese or plain yogurt on top.
Fruit is a great idea and I sometimes spoon some on my plate in lieu of something heavier and I never regret it. It's just hard to do it when you're loading up a plate and the choice is fries or fruit, but it always tastes so much better than it sounds. A cup of watermelon following some heavy food is so satisfying. I had a peach earlier this week that was juicier than the watermelon. Now is the time to eat them, they are amazing!
My S days involve some sweet indulgences, sometimes way more than I planned on!
