Hi there, this feels a little strange to me, I've never blogged before so please bear with me! I'm wanting to start a new chapter in my life, I have made many changes in my life, regarding my work, marriages, travels and especially my weight. But I have found old habit's creeping up (totaling 15lbs!!) and I came to a very strong realization that I am totally addicted to sugar and even though I have been told that this is a problem with me before, I guess I was too scared to admit it.
Ever since I was a little girl food has played a big role in my life and I have let it completely ruin me, my relationships, my family connections and many many other things. I think I have to completely rule sugar out of my life, but that also terrifies me, this is where you come in! I am wanting to log all my daily accomplishment's. I think if I am committed to filling in you guys on a daily basis, in return I think that will help keep me on the straight and narrow and hopefully help anyone else struggling with this very common problem.
I am an absolute food addict, food and especially sugar is just as much a deadly lure to me as alcohol is to an alcoholic. I belong to a twelve step programme that is a wonderful support system for me, I pray for guidance and meditate daily. I am not an overly religious person, but I definitely consider myself a spiritual seeker. Although lately I have been struggling and almost lost my way again, I didn't want to put back on the 50lbs I've kept off the last six years, it's just too easy for the weight to pile back on again, I think that's what truly scared me straight!
Tomorrow will be my first day without sugar, everybody stay out of my way!!!!
Good night and take care all.
Alexandria
