Get Down And Get Dirty To Break A Sugar Addiction

Sometimes it helps to have an addictive personality if you can use it in a positive way.
For example getting up at 5 am to go to the gym or eating the same type of green foods every day and not the old sugar filled crap that once ruled/ruined your life.

What helped me break the bad habits was focusing on how toxic and harmful sugar is, instead of how bad I wanted it. At first the peanut butter cups still looked appealing, but I was able to stop and think about the chemical constituents of the chocolate, the high fat content, the spike insulin levels and the emotional toll it was going to have on me if I gave in to temptation. After 28 days or less, these thoughts became so ingrained that they are automatic, like breathing you don't even think about it anymore. When a chocolate easter bunny is sited near the check out line at the grocery store, I don't think I wanna bite that ear off right now, instead I see it for what it really is, toxic chemicals and depression in a pretty box.


At the start of the sugar kick it helps to have automatic visuals to go to when temptation hits.

For Example:

Chocolate…………think …………Mud, or dog Poop
Gummy Bears……think …………Wax
Peeps………………think ………………Mattress foam
Frosting………think ………………Street Paint
Oat Meal Cookies…………think …………Cat vomit
Chocolate Chip Cookies………think …………… Cat vomit with rat poop
Krispy Kreame Doughnuts……………….think….……recycled liposuction fat (my favorite)


This really works because sometimes the brain isn't going to do an automatic recap of the chemicals and preservatives used in the contraband to detour you, so this acts as the next best thing.


Each time I did this and said no to sugar it got easier and easier, until it no longer looked appealing.

I am going to put a more comprehensive list of the "visuals" on mysugarkick.com


If anyone has any other useful methods or suggestions please feel free to let me know.

Rock it today, because you can!!!!!
