I wish you all the best in this quest to detox your life for a healthier lifestyle. I personally would choose one battle at a time but more power to you, Dan! It definitely is NOT easy.
The way I'm looking out at it right now... is that I just have to change... no other options. This detox period is just the first step! Thanks for your encouragement!
I like your way of thinking towards the goal.
Surely everything in life has its price to be paid, being a price not necessarily a monetary value. I stopped smoking some months ago and it was quite hard, too. Especially during the first famous 3 days you mentioned. It´s like you said: you actually don´t decide to stop or leave something, you decide on a healthier life. The goal is the purpose.
Congrats on your (mental) power, I guess I couldn´t even think about one single sugar-free day :-D
Yes, that's the thing. It's very important to focus on where you want to go, not on where you don't want to go.
A couple of times I've had those moments in my life when I crashed my bicycle, crashed one of my mopeds, crashed one of my cars.
All of those times, I can remember the few seconds before impact, I was thinking Oh, so over there is where I'm going way too fast... oh that's not good... IMPACT
Had I been more focused on getting where I actually wanted in those few last seconds, I probably would have done a whole lot better.

Thanks! Yeah, I love sugar too... we just need some space lol.

That's a really interesting example! Seems to be true for both smaller timescales and larger timescales.
ps. Don't worry driverless cars are coming (teasing)
hehe... well, let's hope I get to keep my old car still if I want to... or maybe not, for your safety ; )
