My sugar addiction..

So I just LOVE sugar. I pretty much think it is the best thing ever. I think I love food in general because I also love my fruits and veggies, but I crave sugar more than most. This isn't a pregnancy thing just a Melanie thing.

I have been reading some childbirth books that say that you have to get rid of fear in order to have a pain free childbirth. The only fear that sometimes comes to mind is that I might not be able to have the willpower to stay focused during labor without drugs. That is why this post is about sugar. It is a major part of my diet and I decided today that if I could eliminate it from my diet than I could do anything I set my mind to... including delivering a baby naturally.

I have confidence that I will be able to handle the pain because I have broken an arm and had my wisdom teeth pulled without feeling any pain from either incident. I personally think that I have a high pain tolerance and if I can keep focused on the end result I know that delivering a child naturally is possible.

This post may not make a ton of sense because of how tired I am, but basically I am going to cut out sweets from my diet until I give birth. I need to be able to make it through Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas without gaining more weight than what is necessary and I need to know that I can do something hard. Not eating sweets is going to be something that will be really really hard for me mentally. If I can go three months without sweets I will have more confidence that I can put my mind to anything.. like having a baby.

Wish me luck because the first week is always the hardest!
