I'm glad I went to the doctor and I certainly hope this is going to make a considerable difference. x<br /><br />Hi Jane - Yes, I hope so. I think everything is coming together quite well - I got my tablets yesterday and start the no sugar programme on Thursday, so I've got a good feeling about February! I don't blame you for getting tired of juice - sometimes you just need something solid, so I think nuts and raisins are a good choice. xx<br /><br />Hi Pear - I know, right? Where has the time gone? There's a show on here at the moment called 'Sugar Free Farm' in which the expert guiding our group of 6 celebrities is actually one of the experts on the no sugar programme I'll be following! I've watched the first episode (of 3) and am a bit worried - one girl needed medical attention after only 3 days! Eek! But I've warned my work colleagues that if I'm out of sorts and there is uncharacteristic behaviour, it's not them, it's me! Withdrawal can be hard, but I absolutely believe this is the best thing for me right now. xxNorthern Living Allowancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663851212929175711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698917025069184978.post-34421787988620991342016-01-30T02:33:28.710+00:002016-01-30T02:33:28.710+00:00I can't believe it's end of January either...I can't believe it's end of January either. Time flies! January was tough for me too. I was totally overbudget.<br /><br />I've cut sugar out before. I must admit it was hard for the first few days. If you stick to it, after a week or so, you start feeling much better and it gets easier.

And losing the sugar will definitely help. You're doing all the right things Annie. I'm getting a little tired of making juice for breakfast and lunch. I've been starting to nibble on things but trying to keep it healthy by choosing nuts and raisins.

I'm looking forward to the fresh start in February. <br /><br />I know from first hand experience that once that iron gets in your system (its takes a few weeks to actually start building up your levels) you will feel a lot better! A few years ago I was exhausted all the time, no energy, my hair was falling out, horrible headaches. Turns out my iron levels were extremely low from several years of not eating properly as a vegetarian (aka not making sure I was getting my iron from other foods). I hope you start to feel even better once your levels start going up! :) Saskatchewan Savingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395689955696106031noreply@blogger.com
