Wake Me Up When This Detox Ends...

Green Day, anyone? If you've never heard of them then you probably didn't understand the reference in my title. Oh well, I tried. For those of you who did get it, way to go! *high five*

Here we are, on Day 4. I've heard the first five days are the hardest, so hopefully I'm almost out of the worst of it? Honestly, it hasn't been as bad as I thought. With that being said, I know that things can still get a lot worse, so I'm not trying to jinx myself here. But, I have only had two headaches. The first one was a full blown migraine that came on Monday night. The second one was the next night, but thankfully went away quickly before it got too bad.

The only thing is...I am a zombie. I am so tired I can barely function. Is this a side effect of the sugar withdrawal? I sure hope so. Because if I didn't have kids to wake me up in the morning, I could probably sleep for well over 24 hours straight. I have zero motivation to get up and do anything. Even getting up to make the kids food seems like such a chore. I cannot wait for this to go away. I have heard that once the detox is complete, you have incredible energy, and I really hope that is true!

Speaking of motivation...I came pretty close to giving up on this whole thing last night. I was so tired of being tired, and denying myself of my cravings. Yesterday my cravings were insane. And it is amazing to me how many "triggers" I have that I didn't even realize. What I mean by that is I'll be doing something and then I'll see/hear/smell something that makes me think about how badly I would love a piece of chocolate or a glass of sweet tea. Anyway, last night I was *this close* to telling Josh "screw it, just go to the store and get some Dr. Pepper and chocolate chip cookes." (Oh my gosh. Chocolate chip cookies. I likely won't be able to stop thinking about them for the rest of the day!) But I didn't say anything, because I knew how angry I would be at myself if I gave up this easily. Josh wouldn't have let me anyway, but I'm glad I at least had enough will power to not give up. I'm almost there...I hope I can do it!
