Sugar Free & Fabulous!
Someone walked into my office today at the college I teach part time in and asked me to buy cookies for a fundraiser…
I looked at her and said, “I’m SUGAR FREE right now!”
She looked at me with the oddest face, and asked me to buy cookies for my kids!
I smiled and handed her a few $$$$ and skipped the cookies.
I get this reaction a lot. That look of WHY WOULD YOU EVER GIVE UP SUGAR???
And I get it. I was enslaved for a LONG time to that deceptively sweet and addictive substance. I put sugar in my coffee. Sugar on my oats (tricking myself into thinking it was healthy). Sweets after each meal. That doesn’t even include the cakes I would binge on in secret or the Oreos I had hidden in my pantry.
You see, sugar is DESIGNED to be addictive…. all the while wreaking havoc on our guts and our hormones.
When I decided to give it up for long periods of time, it was HARD…to say the least.
I detoxed like a drug addict and had a headache and cranky demeanor for days…
UNTIL.. the fog lifted, and I realized what I had been missing by allowing that poison to rage through my body!
Suddenly, I was sleeping better. My face was clearer. My hormonal acne got better. My PMDD lessened. I had more energy than I had in a long time! And the craving slowly subsided.
So, if you offer me sugar these days, and I politely turn you down, please don’t be offended.
It’s just that I’d rather live SUGAR FREE and FABULOUS that enslaved to a substance that holds ZERO value for my body!
