No added sugar challenge

Okay updating you all on the no added sugar challenge that was inspired by the corn syrup presentation that I missed. It has been about six weeks since I started and I am very glad I did. I feel like I have more energy and focus, and I have discovered new ways of eating with this in mind that are also delicious. I have pb and apples or baked apples with cinnamon instead of sugary desserts, I also have had ice cream made of only bananas and pb, and have discovered that there is sugar in many things I never would have suspected. The biggest difference is in the cravings, I have always eaten a lot of sugar and the first couple weeks were difficult but as time has gone on. It has become easier. I easily turned down some yummy smelling caramel corn at the pumpkin patch yesterday and realized the progress I have made since the start of this. I have started adding a couple natural sugars like honey and agave back in small amounts but I truly feel like this challenge has given me the willpower to make a healthy lifestyle change from here on out. I am committed to be much more aware of the things that I put in my body and how they affect me.
