SUGAR PROBLEM...
A warm chewy, moist, rich, chocolaty brownie topped with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream, smothered in gooey hot fudge syrup. Sounds like a dream right?
Well, some people have a tolerance for such desserts and sugary sweets. Me? Not so much. . I LOVE chocolate and desserts as much as anyone else but my brain HATES it. I have a hard time giving up sugar but I have done it in the passed. Some give it up for weight loss, just as a general goal, or for other reasons.
My reason?
Mental health. I'm not afraid to admit it. Even consuming a little bit of sugar a day makes my mind cloudy and I get crabby. It takes a few days of consuming the stuff carelessly to notice a difference. I get headaches, sluggish, and can't sleep. As far as fruit and natural sugar... I am fine. So I have two choices:
A. Give it up and have better overall health. I will be a happier more efficient human being!
B. Continue being a crabby, sleepless, cloudy minded, headache but indulge in desserts as wanted
I have to choose option B. I have done a lot of research and have found a lot of evidence that states the negative effects of refined sugar on your health. Some people are fine with it and their total health and wellness is not affected. I WISH THAT WAS ME!
So now I need to muster up some discipline, goal setting, courage, and motivation to do such. I have all the tips and tricks but now I have to "go and do". ( I am trying to convince Jordan to join in on the fun...)
Wish me luck.
