No Sweets: Wrap up

I write this last blog as of Sunday, which is two days after the last day of the vice experiment.

I feel dizzy. I've been feeling dizzy since this morning, I had eaten pancakes and I was dizzy.

I think a whole week of no sugar has seriously affected something within me, or maybe I am describing psychosomatic symptoms. Hmm, does anyone know Dr.Drew's number maybe I can text him my list of symptoms?

On Friday, on my way home from school, I stopped by a supermarket to buy a victory cupcake. READ: I did not eat it until after 8 p.m.

It was the coveted, orange hostess cupcake. It probably has a kazillion grams of sugar for every square inch, but I don't care! It's yummy. Well, it wasn't so yummy when I tore into the package at 10 p.m. shortly after watching "The Soup," in fact the sugar went straight to my head. I experienced a sugar high.My legs were exhausted, and everything felt bizarre.

I think on my part, prior to starting this whole vice experiment it was a mistake to sugar binge the way I did. I should have weaned myself off sugar, because, who knows what the quick removal of a mainstay from my diet actually did to me physically?

Who knows?

I hear that you must do everything gradual, I should have heeded that advice. Well, the project is done now. It was not hard at all, it was hard in the sense that it was inconvenient and I had to find other things to substitute in my diet, for example, grapes.

But I did realize that I do eat too much sugar and that it's not healthy at all, because I'm not eating anything other than sugar. Lack of sugar also did not affect my mood, I was surprisingly more alert and less prone to crashing, but at the end of the day I was deadbeat tired.

In the future, I will probably eat a significant smaller portion of sweets, but I'm not cutting them out of my diet entirely.
