Why Is It?

Why is it that I appear to be addicted to sugar? I've actually given
sugar up before. Well, not entirely. I go 6 days without it and then
have a day off where I can enjoy whatever I want. Let's be clear when
I say "no sugar". What that really means is no treats or sweets. I eat
things that have sugar in them, such as bread and cereal (up to 6
grams per serving). I've done this no sugar technique a couple of
times before. And eventually I like the results. I feel better. I'm
not as tired. I have energy. I don't have cravings for sugary treats.
Things like carrots taste AMAZING because my tounge is able to sense
the natural sweetness.

And then I decide to fudge one day and one day turns into two and then
I get a cold and everyone is entitled to a treat when they don't feel
good and all of a sudden my no sugar habit is broken and I'm back to
"can't get enough" which leads to "wo, didn't realize the scale would
go that high" which after many months of feeling blah, ornery, and
depressed I decide that as much as I love dessert, life is better with
not so much of it.
And then I find myself here again. Day 3 of my no sugar life when I'd
really like to have a bowl of ice cream after dinner. But I won't
because I know that as yummy as it tastes, it won't be as good as
looking in the mirror and liking what I see. And I can wait until
Sunday.
In case you were wondering - I didn't eat any ice cream or kisses last
night. Yay me!!
