Procrastination is a Sugar Binge

Admit it. You eat sugar when things don’t go your way. You eat sugar when you have something pressing on your to do list. You eat sugar to escape from the real world.

You tell yourself (and others) that you eat sugar because you like it, or because you LOVE it. The sweet flavor and the fun of choosing which candy/cookie/product to snack on next keeps you going back for more. That’s what you think. But deep down, if you look at it, you know that you’re eating sweets because of some hidden problem that you’re not facing. Quitting sugar isn’t only difficult because you stop eating “fun” foods. It’s also difficult because you can’t avoid confronting issues by escaping into a sugar high anymore.

Q: What will you do when sugar isn’t an alternative? 

A: You’ll cave or you’ll care.

You’ll cave if you perceive the problem as too big for you to deal with. Instead of coping, you’ll retreat to the safety of the sweet-known and another helping of junk food is in your hand. Without the sweet-escape option you’ll have to take notice of what you’re feeling, doing, and saying. You have no choice. You’ll be forced to step into the ring. Face your problems like a boxer faces an opponent. Spit poetic disses at the biggest issues. Take them on, slowly and carefully. The first step is avoiding your favorite sweets—your trigger foods.

You’re reading my website about sugar addiction for a reason. I used sugar as a crutch. Don’t be like I used to be. Stop being sweet. Ridding yourself of sugar is like removing the wood from the fireplace of procrastination. Don’t put it off any longer. Start now.
