Remember how excited you were when you saw those super cute Houchie heels at the mall and you just had to have them, no matter how high the credit card bill.
Then your bliss got instantly deleted after a sugar fix or 12. The giddy jumping, the heart pounding excitement, and all motivation for life in general disappears, and the heels end up in back of the closet never experiencing daylight, or pavement.
Sugar won the battle and left you feeling fat, empty and foggy. And it didn't even have to buy dinner first.
Sugar had the same effect on me as cocaine. I would eat it until it was completely gone, even if I felt sick afterwards and still want more the next day.
Thanks to medical imaging like MRI and PET scans there is scientific proof that sugar is as addictive as cocaine. The neurotransmitters in the brain light up at the anticipation of sugar just like the cocaine addict lights up in anticipation for coke.
After abusing sugar it takes more of the substance to have the same feel good reactions. So you need more of the drug to achieve the same high. Big food manufactures know this so they keep adding nasty chemicals to keep everyone foggy and addicted, and the addicts start young. The same way the cigarette manufactures add more nicotine to have customers for life.
When I was a sugar addicted robot I could no longer get "happy", I was just numb. Once I kicked sugar, about 2 months later I was driving to work and for whatever reason I actually noticed, holy crap, I'm happy and I feel good, no substances required. Amen!!!
To stay on the sugar free path I use the Houchie heels as motivation to keep on trucking with the raw foods, juices, nuts and seeds. And continually say F*ck you to sugar, you are not going to steel my happiness. And for this I am truly grateful every single day.
Keep On Trucking My Fellow Sugar Kickers :)
