TAMMY’S NOTE: This No-Sugar challenge documents Ashley’s 30-day attempt to remove PROCESSED SUGAR from their diet. This challenge allows her to use natural sugars such as honey or true maple syrup, therefore it’s not meant for a diabetic alternative, simply a personal-health challenge.

I did it! I’ve made it all the way through week two and I’ve only gone through twelve breakdowns! Ok, so maybe it really hasn’t been as bad as I thought it might be. I will admit that this has been, by far, one of the most difficult challenges that I have ever decided to take on. It was mildly easier than week one, but it was still rough on the sugar cravings.
I’ve also become painfully aware of how much and how often we are surrounded by food. Every day is someone’s birthday or a celebration of some sort where someone will bring donuts in the morning, a cake in the afternoon, or suggest going out for a nice dinner at a favorite restaurant. Saying no almost feels like an insult on some occasions, but say no I did! If you haven’t already done so, check out how we fared on Week 1. Then read below to see how my second week of absolutely no sugar went.
