What Is and What Isn’t

June 16, 2006

FOR ME, eating sweets means eating junk food and foods containing refined sugars. FOR ME, not being sweet means avoiding these types of food for a year. This works FOR ME.

I can eat apples and feel healthy. They don’t make me crash or binge. I will continue to eat fruit. I will continue to eat certain foods that others will say turns directly into sugar, such as a bagel with cream cheese. This works FOR ME.

However, if I were to eat a chocolate chip cookie then it’s just a matter of time before that’s all I’m eating. Everyone is different.

If you are trying to control your sugar intake, you should see a doctor or trained specialist. I’m not a doctor or a nutritionist. This website is a place for you to become inspired by my story and then to go and create your own reality. If you feel you can deal with sugar on your own, then I encourage you to define your own parameters.

Some folks need to quit everything. Others can eat a cookie a month and not go wrong. There is no one solution for everyone.

What I describe in these posts is my experience and the solution that is working for me.

By all means, do what you NEED to do and discover what’s right for YOU!
