How to : cut back

Hillary, my workout leader, has challenged herself to go without sugar for thirty days.  It helps her clear her head and become more focused.  That makes sense (after the first several days of course).  The last time I did without chocolate for a month, I was in high school...and I only did it because my friends bet me I couldn't.  I've gone sugarless one or two other times, but let's be real: I like sugar.  Point: In a three week span in our household, we had two holidays, two birthdays, and two people leave.  Hubby wanted a bunch of his favorite junk foods before he deployed and left all of the remnants here which we've been munching on since.  But...it's been a little over two weeks now and I'm back in a more better place, have a routine, etc.  It's time.  It's time to get focused again and actually *work* toward my goals.  If she's wanting someone to keep her accountable, I totally understand that.  I have horrific defiance issues, but I totally get that.  So here I am with the goal to do a similar thing (candy-free as I used to be).  I'm not sure if I'll make it (gotta be honest) but even if I don't, I'll still be in a better place than I was a couple of weeks ago.  Today (day one) has been pretty easy.  We had our normal eggs for breakfast (and the boys had greek yogurt as well), the boys had a snack in the car (after the gym but before the library) and a sandwich for lunch.  I had soup for lunch because, well, yum.  I'm more worried about when we get matched with another foster set and how I'll do at that time.  There's usually an interesting transition phase for a week or two where I try and figure out what I can even get the kids to eat.  We never do soda for the kids (and I don't drink it when Hubby is gone because I love water so much), rarely do juice, don't always have a dessert, etc and that's a real shock to some kids.  Plus...I get emotional.  And I'm an emotional eater.  Brutal honesty.  Plus, I straight up love food.  I love almost every single kind of food (save for vinegary things; ew). 
Point: we shall see how it goes.  I've mostly been doing good eating more veggies and proteins since a few days after Hubby left, but I still munch on other delicious stuff and, yes, sometimes we have noodles with butter and parmesan cheese and that's all.  Because it's yummy.  Mmm...now I want spicy thai noodles...
