All I Wanted Was Sweets

November 16, 2009 ↓ Comments (5)

This weekend all I wanted was some sugar. Actually, not true. I wanted something sweet but I didn’t want sugar. Gwenn whipped up some chocolate mousse for me. It was cream and agave syrup with some cocoa. It did the trick for about five minutes.

I made cookies on Friday night. Ate ‘em all. There’s a lot on my plate (things to do, not food) and so my natural tendency is to want to eat lots of sugar. This is how my mind operates. Do you do that?

Do you eat, or want to eat, sweets when you’re stressed or under pressure?

PS - If you’re part of the November Sugar Challenge, let us know how you’re doing.

Absolutely I do that! But it’s strange, because it’s not every time I get stressed….but when stress is combined with sleep-deprivation, low energy, fullness, and lack of movement, it’s pretty much a given.

Do you advocate agave syrup? Maybe you’ve changed your mind duringyour journey?

Yes, I’ve changed my mind: I’m off agave, had too many bad experiences with it. There’s lots of information against it (as you linked). It gives me a physical reaction after I eat it that makes me feel like crap. No more. Stay away!

Oh YAY, that makes me so happy. Folks are treating it like a health food, just the sweet stuff in disguise. I love your sugar challenges! Helps me practice, practice, practice!
