One of the things I can not have is sugar and boy has that been hard. I like to keep a dish of candy by my computer and I have a dish of candy in the living room plus other stashes around the house. When I die they will be finding candy until the millennium, probably. Anyway, a couple of articles I have read in the last couple of days deal with sugar addiction. I have always joked about it but deep down in side I knew it was real.
Here are the two articles:
The first one is titled Your Brain on Sugar...... It gives you a rush, messes with your mind, and always leaves you wanting more - and now researchers are calling for the government to regulate the sweet stuff like a drug. Read more...
Will I give up sugar totally? I don't think that will happen in this lifetime. I will cut down considerably though. Vick said our future treats need to be fruit based and I told her I would still be baking goodies. There will be cookies and other sweet treats around here but I wont keep them around until they are gone. I will take them to work or give them to friends and neighbors but I can't see myself quitting the baking and cooking thing because I enjoy it and I have been doing it since I was in the fifth grade. And at my age that is a long time. But for now these things are not on my life style change and so when I make something I give it all away. Time to get get back to my journey.
