Mistakes we’ve made, hurts we’ve experienced, losses we grieve. Sometimes, our minds are like a runaway train, overthinking, rehashing and dwelling on painful memories from our lives.

Ep448: Why I Don’t Eat Sugar Jan 05, 2024

Show notes

I loved sugar. I loved sweet foods. I loved anything ooey, gooey and chewy. But they didn’t love me back. I was a sugar addict, and once I started eating the stuff, I wanted more, and I had a really hard time saying no. I didn’t have an “off” switch, so I would end up binging on high calorie sweet foods. And this included bread, pasta, muffins, etc. In this episode, I talk about the reasons I no longer eat sugar, and the delicious substitutes I’ve found. If you know that eating sugar is a problem for you, this may be the answer you’re looking for.
