My niece who just visited her parents (and us) over Labor Day weekend, sent me a FaceBook invitation for a No Sweets September challenge. Hell yes, I responded. Why not? I am just about straddling the fence (progress from standing on the next to top rung, thinking, wavering) on the lifestyle change to quit sugar sweets forever.
So a month? Hell yes. Lets get it on.
And guess what? Two friends (at least at the first look within 12 hours of my response) have joined in too. One of them was just put on meds for Type 2 Diabetes. She said she'd been trying to manage it herself but her Doc said no more. I gave her encouragement. She needs to know others are out there who don't eat processed foods as a matter of routine. People who don't eat bread and still enjoy eating. People who don't nibble on junk all day, or at all. People who try, every day like a smoker trying to quit, to get at least half the daily intake of food to be fresh veggies and fruit.
Good stuff.
To try is to aim.
To succeed is to do it.
