30 days since I dropped processed sugar. A month ago, I didn’t think I had the will power to pursue it. But here we are.
Well done to me!
I’ve been to a fancy wedding in Jodhpur, a fun trip to Rishikesh and many dinners and social settings in which I’ve said NO to some delicious sweet things.
But you know what, I’m no longer consumed by it. I can feel the reset. It’s liberating.
That is a win in itself.
But I haven’t yet fully experienced the upsides of dropping it. While I have a more consistent source of energy and I don’t crash as much, it’s still no magic pill.
But we will continue this, because I really like the ability, freedom and discipline to say no to something that’s not good for me.
I think gluten (which I dug at the wedding) and dairy (in the frequent cheese and paneer) also impact my gut. But I’m not ready, yet, to let go of them.

Will-power, I’m learning, is a muscle. The more we use, the stronger it gets. I’m looking forward to pushing it to the next level soon.
