Ah, it’s that time of year again. Resolution time. I’ve written about this before, and my opinion is that you should pick one thing that really matters to you and focus on that.
This year I am giving up sugar! All of it!
*peeks* Do you believe that? No? Good, because not even I can.
There is no sense in trying to give up something as pervasive as sugary foods. So what I plan to do is limit it. I intend to cut out candy except for special occasions. I will use honey and fruit for sweeteners, and eat baked goods that I’ve made myself. That takes much more effort than grabbing a doughnut or grocery markdowns.
The reason for this is my health. It isn’t to lose weight, though that helps. I have an assortment of ailments that will do much better if they don’t also have high blood sugar to deal with.
I believe in being realistic. I won’t be able to come back this time next year and say I don’t eat sugar anymore. I still will. But hopefully I’ll be able to say things have improved, and that’s the important part.
