Everyone knows the sweet white stuff tasting so deliciously sweet we can't resist it: SUGAR! Yes, our daily companion. It is nearly in every single meal we are taking to us, not only in bakery stuff. And everyone is fine with that because, well, what can just a small teaspoon or two of sugar effect. It's like nothing! You won't even taste it most of the time! BUT.... it has a big impact on our health! Consuming over a period of time a small amount of sugar EVERY day isn't benefiting us people. In contrary, we get addicted to it and want more and can't even stop sometimes. For example with chocolate. There are many out there (me including) who sometimes just want a small little piece of chocolate but after eating one you want more... someone noticed that?
Well, if so then I would suggest you to read the post from @guyfawkes4-20 about the sugar addicition, you can find it here or just look through his blog. If not, read it anyway it does no harm 😉. And while reading you can also join the challenge! Your body will be thankful for that!!!
Anyway what I want to say...
...is, that I took up his challenge, too. Since this Monday, I think it was the 29th of January (Wow we are already one month in the New Year 😲), I stopped eating sugar. Well at least I do not eat the things which I now contain sugar, like finished products which include bread, Pizza, sauces, juices, soft drinks and of course all kind of candies.
I intend to post at the end of every week how I did and how I felt. If I notice some visible changes in my exterior profile I will mention them too! This is also the reason why I only write this post now, I was waiting till the end of the first week.
Now to the second part
I would like to announce some people to join this challenge. If I nominate you, this doesn't mean you have to do this. It is just as a normal challenge. You can accept or reject. It is up to you! Also please don't get me wrong when I name you here, ok?😉

And the last part
How did I survive this week without sugar?
Well, let me start right from the beginning...
On Sunday I had ma last chocolate bar for the next 30 days. I have to say I though I would enjoy it more but somehow I didn't even realize I was eating my last sweet thing.
When the next day came in I was only eating fruits if I would like to have some sweetness. It was really ok and I felt great. Didn't miss any sugar at all. The second day, Tuesday, went similar: eating fruits especially bananas. But then the awful Wednesday came... You will get to know why by looking at the following pictures:
No, I didn't eat any of it. But it was hard as f***. Sorry for the language!
One of my collegues had birthday so she baked two cakes. One of them was a oreo-cheesecake!!! I always wanted to try out one!!!! Antoher one had his last working day so he brought some sweets too.... And a third one also brought some cake because his girlfriend was baking the other day!!! I mean, why now when I started this challenge!! I felt really bad for a while sitting in front of all this delicious (and some of them selfmade) stuff. BUT at home I started bragging about how strong my will was today! Hahaha it was quite of funny because suddenly I felt amazing. I think just because I proofed myself I can do it!
So this was the only day of the whole week, when I thought, "ok, only one tiny little bite! I can start the challenge next week!"
But no, next week something else may comes up so I had to start now or never! And until today I did great 😁 And also feeling great!
I hope some of you who read this will come and join all of us at lest for 30 days!!! And...
