Fonzie Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Hi. I love this forum. I started August 1 and had a bad slip on August 13. Went to a fancy birthday party at an Italian restaurant. I checked ahead and planned my compliant meal. To my disappointment it was family style and I had no choice. I had a small taste of every bad food including cake. I was so mad at myself! I started again August 24. Tho plan is saving my life. I have rediscovered the joy of cooking. I am experiencing leg pains at night and I think it's sugar and phony sugar withdrawal. I can't wait to be clean. Thank you for all your support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim4884 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Fonzie, I had leg cramping too and it was because I wasn't getting enough sodium and electrolytes - I was getting so much sodium from processed foods, and when I eliminated them I had problems. Try adding more salt and I've heard magnesium supplements help; definitely make sure you are drinking enough water. I have rediscovered the joy of cooking too - my roommate laughs (supportively) at how much cooking I am doing. I share my food with her, and I am a pretty capable cook, so she likes it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Thanks Jim. I know my body is purging many years of diet soda too. Ugh. So glad to be off that poison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was diet Dr Pepper for me - hardly miss it at all, and VERY glad to not be ingesting it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be Coke Zero for me and then after that those little Nestea packets you put in water... it was a SERIOUS addiction in that I would get up in the middle of the night to drink it... Your tastebuds change so much in such a short amount of time that even the thought of putting that toxic slurry into your body will give you pause... I haven't had anything outside of water, coffee, tea and kombucha for years... it's possible and it's GREAT! @Fonzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm stunned that I put that poison in my body. I can't stand the thought of having artificial sweeteners now. Thank you for all your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
