If there were a proverbial "ban sugar" wagon, I have fallen off of it and am running close behind to try and catch up, although my speed is slowing as I smell the campfire cakes cooking. Moving cross country is no excuse, husbands job change.....no excuse. The influx of family events, social gatherings, and birthdays, ahhh, that's my downfall. Every celebration of some kind is accompanied by sugar, sugar, and more sugar. How can a delectable pan of brownies hold me captive with all I have learned and read about the detriments of white table sugar. How could I have eaten (and enjoyed every bite of) the bunny tracks ice cream with that birthday cake. My purpose in the experiment is not to banish sugar forever, maybe place it farther out of reach or interest, but not banish it. My purose is education and developing a healthy relationship with sweets, somehow finding that place where you still feel great and can enjoy an occasional treat. Is that found in serving size, in daily moderation, or perhaps it's the special occasion approach? Before I began this journey, I knew my sugar and I needed serious counseling, but is seperation the answer? Doesn't absence just make the heart grow fonder and hungrier? Do the cravings ever die? Alright, here I go.....back on the wagon to continue my journey. Could someone please keep that pan of brownies warm.....
