I used to think I couldn't live without sugar — until recently, when I received my blood test results. Everything else looked fine, except for my HbA1c, which came back at 5.9% — putting me in the prediabetic range.
That was a wake-up call.
So, I started googling for meal plans that would help me completely eliminate white rice from my meals. It’s now been 33 days, and I’ve already noticed some changes — most noticeably, I’ve lost 5kg.
As for drinks, I still enjoy my usual coffee and tea, but now I take them without sugar. It was tough at first — getting used to the bitter taste — but I kept reminding myself of that HbA1c number. That reminder kept me disciplined. I also make sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
Looking back, what felt like a punishment has now become a habit — and one that’s changing my health for the better.

I think a comma works better here than a dash

Very well written! I think you use more dashes than native writers. For example 'I used to think I couldn't live without sugar — until recently, when I received my blood test results.' could turn into "Until recently, I thought I couldn't live without sugar. This changed when I received my blood test results." There's nothing wrong with your sentence so I didn't correct it, but the repeated use of dashes feels a bit unnatural. Great job though, it's very easy to understand with no obvious mistakes.
