My archenemy
I've beaten cigarettes, alcohol and meat.
But one demon always gets the better of me: sugar.
When I quit sugar completely, I notice that my mood is more stable, that I'm not hungry all the time, and that everything gets easier: sleeping, exercising, eating well.
When I go back to sugar, everything falls apart.
I snack all the time, on anything. I get mood swings. My diet, like my life, comes down to chasing cravings that are bad for me.
Whenever I quit, sugar creeps back into my life. Apples. A square of dark chocolate after a meal. A dessert because I'm with my son. Then it takes over again.
Today I got rid of all the sugar in the house (again).
Wish me luck.
