3 days in

So I am on day three of no sugars in my diet and have begun to actually enjoy the process of researching what is going into my body.
I feel like a crazy person looking at every label on foods throughout the cupboard but its so interesting to find that the foods I was drawn to before for snacking on, as I am an avid snacker- are so packed with some form of sugar or another. I also naively didn't realize starting this journey would also mean giving up bread haha 'instead of cereal or fruit and granola I'll just have toast in the mornings' NOT. As I am still including fruit in my diet, I am trying that with Greek yogurt or oatmeal (both of which I don't care for) but maybe it's an acquired taste?
I'm finding it is also difficult finding satisfying foods to eat when I live aboard a boat and do not grocery shop for myself.
If the sous chef isn't tired of me asking: 'is there sugar in this?' then he truly is a saint. The other morning, the chef made waffles as a special treat for breakfast, so to be funny the sous chef told me there was no sugar in them as i'm staring at a plate of waffles topped with heaps of powdered sugar. My watch partner also thought it'd be funny to sit next to me and devour three bowls of cinnamon toast crunch (a personal weak spot) just to be 'funny'.Tonight our captains wife decided to make cupcakes!!! Loooove me some cupcakes but like a good, determined and self disciplined girl, I refrained! Go me.
Three days of the new me: I think I'm doing fairly well. Just having a difficult time satisfying that sweet urge but in time I will find something to replace it. My go to snack at the moment are rice cakes. I had forgotten how tasty they actually are until I was searching for sugar free snacks among a closet full of chips, cookies, candies, and crackers and came across them. I purchased cashew butter this evening from a local health food store, because I need something with more substance as I just find myself devouring massive
amounts of meat at dinner time trying to satisfy my need for protein or just .... anything filling. When I think about it, it's quite gross that before I'd be okay with eating whatever was in sight until I was full. It's comforting knowing exactly what goes into my body- and even more so- being able to pronounce the ingredients!! :)

I have cheated once, but didn't realize it until I had finished my meal. A1 sauce. Confession of the day. It was just sort of a no brainer: steak for dinner, where's the A1? Oopsies sooo no more A1 for this girl.
