Weekly Goal: Reduce sugar intake - get rid of sugar addiction. Read more sugar addiction and understand what to expect with withdrawl symptoms. Eat plently of wholesome, nutritious foods. Eat slowly, put a little less on my plate and think about and enjoy what I'm eating.

Today's Goal: Choose healthy meals at a restaurant and coffee shop

Emotional rating: 3.5 - feeling pretty good about myself and in control of my choices
Morning: woke up late and had to hurry out the door to meet Laura at starbucks. I ended up having a raison scone and americano coffee with skim milk for breakfast.
Afternoon: I had a lot of fun at the Daegu Lantern Festival, but was really starting to feel fatigued and was looking for a sugar fix around 4-5pm.
