Still clean!! Wow! Feeling pretty good, but still wielding that sword and using my shield. I tried the counting backwards from 50 and it works, so does breathing through a craving. So, lots tools to use (there are more), but the most important part for me is to actually USE THE TOOLS! Yes, sometimes I have to yell at my self. 😁 Hope you make the best out of today.

I am fascinated about the keto and the carnivore diet and its benefits. And I try and try and try but can't stick to it as consequently as I would like. 3 months without carbohydrates is my goal, I want to figure it out for myself how well I could probably feel. I mainly struggle with depression and chronic fatigue. I have done many withdrawels in my life. Amphetamines were my first. Years later I went through a heroine and methadone withdrawel (which took me several tries and such as my first withdrawel a very long recovery time). About 1,5 years ago I cutted out alcohol, which was one of my easiest withdrawals although I was drinking it daily for most of my life... Three months ago I took my last Lyrica (Pregabalin) Tablette (on which I was dependent for the last 10 years to menage my anxiety). I slowly feel a bit better and more actively again but for sure I don't run on 100% by now. From my experiences such withdrawels cause me at least 6 months of extremely low energy/motivation and depression. My following goals are: quitting nicotine again quitting caffeine (I tried it once and failed horribly, it's much harder than I thought it could be) But let's start with cutting out carbs for at least 3 months (or maybe for life) 🙂🙂 I hate addictions, they rob me of my freedom. I want to get rid of them all, no matter how many times I fail and fall and have to try again. I know it's freaking worth it!!

I have wanted to join this challenge since I got Michael’s ebook in January, but found myself continually putting it off, telling myself it “wasn’t the right time”. Today I had an epiphany and realised the real reason I have been putting it off is FEAR OF FAILURE. The second that became clear to me, I knew that it was time! I’ve been trying to go at this alone for years and it hasn’t worked. Time for a new approach!

Wednesday is in the books! No sugar or flour, feeling pretty good too! 🤩

I'm Monique. I need to remove harmful sugar from my life. This is day 1.
