You know how when you’ve had it and
enough is enough?
You’ve given an inch, and gosh darn-it, you lost an entire mile!
You know how when you’re ready, you’re already waaaay past ready and
want it over yesterday?
Well, that’s were I was!
I was so over it.
Done with the late afternoon whispers, the seductive promises before bed and the downright deceitful lies!
That’s right, I was breaking up.
It’s finished, done, no more. I wont be a slave to the yearnings any longer.
I was breaking up with Sugar!
Hubby snapped this as I stepped out of the gelato shoppe!
You see, when I was on my honeymoon, I ate Gelato every single day!!!
I loved it!
I yearned for it.
I even jostled like a rugby player in lines to get it.
Then I walked down sun drenched ancient streets in a romantic foreign land…
aware of nothing…
but the cone in my hand and
the taste on my tongue.
Sad, right?
Like that’s not bad enough…
I didn’t even want to share it with hubby. It was mine! All mine! The stuff made me crazy!
BUT….I thought everything would be okay when I got home.
There are no Gelato shoppes in my little town. I thought I would be home free.
Little did I know that the allure of sugar would follow me across the pond like Cuban stamp in a US passport.
I wasn’t home 24 hours before my mind started playing bargaining games and I caved.
I slunk my way to the ice cream aisle of the local grocer for a Haagan Dazs Hook Up.
That’s when I knew I was in a co-dependent relationship with sugar!
AGAIN!!!
You see there is a shady side of sugar no one talks about. It’s as seductive as it is deadly.
Yes, sugar will kill you.
But you know what else?
It will
run your life,
disrupt you hormones and
make your organs age at lighting speed…especially your brain.
Sugar will ravage your skin and upset the balance in your tummy.
Sugar is abusive to our bodies.
My sugar cravings became so viscious I felt like I had no control.
“Hello, my name is Rommy and I’m addicted to sugar.”
AND physiologically, I didn’t have control over the cravings, so….
I went back to what I know and what I learned in nutrition school.
I took small daily steps to nourish my body.
By day three, I was no longer having cravings. On day five, I finally felt strong enough to go to the grocery store. I could even walk past the candy aisle without smelling and drooling!!!
