Sugar is eeeevil

I truly believe that sugar has highly addictive qualities. I'm hearing more about this theory and I am proof that it is true. Just like a drug addict or alcoholic, sugar addiction is no joke. I'm betting that there will be support groups popping up with 12 step agendas to help break the cycle. Hmmm.... maybe it's time to start a sugar addicts support group. Stay tuned. The only time I've lost weight is when I eliminated sugar from my diet. Also bread. But cutting it out takes a desire and motivation that I haven't been able to find in several years.

Doesn't that look tasty? Do you know what kind of damage that would cause? For me, it would create a sugar binge that would last for weeks. In the past 365 days, I had sugar (something made mostly of sugar or meant to be sweet like candy, chocolate, etc. not stuff like ketchup which also has a ton of sugar in it)on 359 of them. I just broke a 2 day streak by eating a crappy Hershey's bar with almonds because I was hungry and had not planned. Planning is a crucial part of diet success! What's that saying? Fail to plan, plan to fail. Yeah. That's pretty accurate.

Those who doubt always make some comment about needing to 'enjoy life' and being able to treat yourself. Ok, I get that but I'm pretty sure that I will enjoy life 60 lbs lighter than I am now, my skin will look better, my glucose levels will be normal, my insulin resistance will hopefully be diminished or be gone altogether. I'll let you know in about 7 months how that goes!
