39 in 2 hours

Welp, I turn 39 tomorrow. I'd love to go off sugar again but is it realistic. really? The last time i went off sugar it was on my husbands birthday. only seems fitting I'd do it on my birthday however there has been no real forsight or planning for it. I'm looking forward to the "That Sugar Film" out of Australia coming to theaters on July 31, 2015. I sincerely wonder and hope and am fairly certain it will help open the eyes to the sugar epidemic in our nation. Many many people realize it but I think there are still plenty people out there that are fairly clueless. What would my rules be if i went sugar free tomorrow? Does Organic Maple syrup count? That seems so pure and of the earth. hmmmmmm.....  it would also spike my levels making it hard to comply with sugar free.  Artificial sweetner free is easy for me. Splenda, aspartame, nutrisweet, who cares it's all fake and confusing the senses and body chemistry.  I'm SO SAD for those hooked on the fake stuff. I think it's bad stuff.  Not that real sugar is any better. Its just different. So, sugar free tomorrow, I have a feeling any sugar detox plan would say eliminate even bananas and higher "sugar" foods so as to cut the cravings cold turkey. But I don't know. Eliminating sugars even in fresh fruits and vegetables seems potentially too drastic. again, altering body chemistry. So many books talk about slowly adding that stuff back in later but I don't' think so. It makes me fall off the wagon so how about i just keep it in from the begining. Maybe horrible advice. who knows. I hope to someday have the right answer to really help people in need  of breaking the sugar habit and maybe these mental gymnastic struggles will have paid off. So, will I do a sugar detox. I don't know yet. I rather not commit only to fail in day one. I'd rather not commit and yet succeed though I now eating right will never happen by "accident". I'll keep processing. I've got a few hours.  And will keep you posted.  For the record, tonight, I saw the highest I've ever seen on a scale. Ready for a change. Always ready for a change but is a lasting one ever actually plausible/possible. hmmmmmm.
