Do you know what one of the hardest habits to break is? Finishing off my kid's food. Always before, if I'd make him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I would lick the spoon. Or lick the lid of his yogurt after I give him the carton. Or finish that last bite or two on his plate at the end of the meal.
But these past 3 days, I've been much more aware of it, and I haven't been doing it. Especially on this strict phase of South Beach, even licking the sweetened yogurt off the lid is putting sugar into my system that I don't want. It's hard work breaking a refined carb and sugar addiction. It's almost got to be cold turkey. The cravings are already starting to go away. But I will be one happy camper when phase 2 starts in a couple weeks!
