The Great No Sugar King Streaks. I go on streaks. I go on streaks where I have zero soda or candy or pizza or cookies or cake or ice cream or fried food or bread. In the last 6 months, one streak lasted 96 days. The latest lasted 33 days. The streaks are great but they always end. Why ? I guess I get worn down. Sometimes I feel hollow. Sometimes I feel alone. I am going to try to start a new streak on Sunday. I hope it is the last. Maybe I quit these streaks because I lose my motivation. This time, I am going to do it for my mama. I am going to do it to honor her. She died on August 31, 2013. 3 days after my birthday. Her birthday is July 29. My first date goal for this upcoming streak is her birthday on July 29. Then my 40th birthday on August 28. Then the 7 year anniversary of her death on August 31. That would put me around 100 days. A few years ago, I was at her grave and I said, "I don't know when I am going to be here next but I'm gonna go as much of that time as I can with eating healthy. I am going to do it to honor you. " In the following 6 months, I had 3 days where I drank anything other than water. I didn't have a single bite of pizza. I had half of a candy bar. I did it all out of love for my mama. I did it back then so why can't I do it now ? So I'm gonna try again. Let's see if my love for my mama can save me from myself this time. Come along.
