I am not talking about ant-poison, arsenic or any other obscure deadly molecule. For me - SUGAR is a powerful poison - and this is how I participated in an involuntary trial to prove it,
3 months ago = 1 big decision made to live without sugar.
2 months ago = feeling great!! Losing weight, missing sugar.
1 month ago = still feeling great!!Weight loss slowed down, not missing sugar. Decided to discontinue the anti-depressants that have been part of my life since my face fell flat on the one side (like a half-baked Victorian sandwich cake)
This is another story (a very bitter story) - and for years I have tried to deal with the pain of losing my good looks - even acting as silly as pulling the offending face up manually to look better in pictures. Some efforts were more successful the others - but looking at myself with love and endearment - this is actually very funny as I am not fooling anyone, especially not the camera.
Just for your entertainment, here are some examples of my lame-face self-help face lift efforts. And you are allowed to laugh - out loud!!
1 week ago = I love sugar!! I tasted it again and I absolutely adore it! I eat cake, more cake, a Redbull, a chocolate, 2 bottle of Sweet Rose wine. Cannot understand how I could live without it.
BUT... I notice phlegm after the second day of my sugar-binge experiment, my once is blocked, I need to clear my throat constantly, I even develop a silly little cough. (I can now see in hindsight that it was my poor body's attempt to get rid of the silly stuff I was loading in again)
Undeterred, I continue with what I can now identify as an involuntary clinical trial.
After 3 days of sugar mania, (and I am sure the wine was helping here) - I develop sore joints, and sore muscles, and sore other-things. I start walking like an old woman, making little Ugh sounds when I go down or up a step.
By day 5 I struggle to get a good night's rest, getting all irritated and feeling extremely tired.
By day 6 I am puffy, Puffy face, swollen eyes, puffy stomach, puffy fingers - you get the picture - I am puffy.
By day 7 - I need a double dose of Valium and fluoxitine!!! I am experiencing a vicious, irrational anger with the world, the people around me, the fact that I picked up 2 kilos, I am furious, teary, unhappy!!
And then it hits me. It hits me like a massive sugar cube on my adrenal glands - I look, perform, act, ARE better without sugar in my life.
So today - back on track as I have now proven to myself what a terrible poison it is and I do not need it. Just like I do not need arsenic, ant-poison or any other deadly molecule in my life.
If you want to share your sugar-coated story with me, please feel free to do so.
