Joy dot: everything is green. The new trees we planted before we went on vacation are budding.

When I first quit sugar, I craved fat. I was eating nuts or nut butter at every meal. It turns out that, like sugar, fat evokes beta endorphin. But it does it more gently, not in a big spike like sugar. So when I didn't have sugar, my beta endorphin receptors were waiting for their drug, and I wanted fat. Over time, my biochemistry evened out, and I found other ways to gently raise my beta endorphin, and I just naturally stopped eating so much fat. Now I only eat nut butter once in a while, and I use almonds for an emergency snack, but I can easily stop eating them.
