Now that I have confessed my sins...

This has been very difficult for me to put up on the site.  For the last couple of days I have been fighting a mental battle about my July plans.

It's seemed so easy for me in June, but then July 1 came and I spoke about my beloved bread..., July 2 I wrote on the sweetness of cakes, but the thought of moving beyond that just seems overwhelming!

For July, I would LOVE to complete the experiment of giving up bread and cake for one month!

 

I have ALWAYS WANTED to do this experiment - but I've never taken the time.  And it is ALWAYS an ongoing debate in our house.  Is bread (mainly) - (and cake in smallish quantities) REALLY bad for you?

So many questions to answer:

 

Does bread have a major impact on one's body?

 

Is cake really bad for you?  How can something so sweet and yummy, which brings joy to one's heart, turn around and bite you in the butt? 

(Yeah, I know, that's one's funny!)

How much weight could one loose if one actually did give up bread and cake for a month?

Is it even possible to loose weight by actually giving bread up for a month?

What would happen to my energy levels without this kind of food?  Because as we all know - we only eat these two foods for maintaining energy.  They both just happen to come with the wonderful side effects of being fantastically delicious!

The list of questions goes on and on.

I am inspired by a woman - Let's call her :  Lindsey T.M., who was in my class at school and who, of course is my age.  She is crazy fit and has a body to match.  She is very inspiring.  Is it possible for me to turn my life around and get back into shape - or is it just too late?

DOES Lindsey T.M. eat bread and/or cake?

Is she a health freak?

Has she always been one?

 

Is her world that of fruit, veggies and exercise only - or does she have a happier life?  (CAKE AND BREAD - which surely can't be possible - right? - One can't be happy without those two things!)

 

(She certainly does look happy for some reason.)

 

So many questions, so little time...




Well, the truth is:  I have been without food now for 4 days.  (Bread - that is...),  I have had to substitute the food I am missing with fresh vegetables and fruit.  Do you think that 31 days without bread and cake could have an impact?  I am not sure...  even more so, I am struggling to NOT eat it and have almost given in multiple times daily already, to the bread which is calling for me.

 

 

What should I do?  What should I do?
