The end of this week is the end of Sugar for me... well added, processed sugar... I think it'll kill me. I'm hoping it will break my spirit, my addiction... i'm nervous - I love to eat sugar, and I love to bake with sugar, and I love to eat sugar... ahem.
I have been neglecting the spiritual Discipline of Fasting... and I want so very much to be doing that, in fact I feel that the Lord is convicting me to strengthen my spiritual 'body'. But in order for me to be able to do that, i need to work on my physical body. My family doctor would like me to cut the sugars, before I do something 'drastic' like fast. She would also like me to cut the sugar, because I have a great chance of inheriting, developing diabetes.
The rules I've given myself some rules to follow, and David and friends will help me stick to them.
1) No candies, or chocolates, or sweets, or baked goods, or ice cream.
2) No extra sugar, which means nothing in my tea or on my cereal; and no syrup on my pancakes and waffles.
3) No processed sugary things - Tim Horton's Cappuccinos for example
I can do it! April is a short month (if I had been wise I would have chosen February)

oh! You are impressing me! I have some reading for you, in that case. A blog I read a lot (though it has a bunch of New Age stuff, beware) is written by a woman who has recently decided that she's quitting sugar, totally. Here's the first post and there have been LOTS since then about how she's getting on. There are also hundreds of comments. So if you have some time, have a look through some of it. I am considering it myself. Hmm, now that you have given up sugar I feel more convicted to do so as well. Watch this space.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading it all myself just now... it's so inspiring! I found a page that has all Wilson's sugar posts--just start at the bottom and work your way up. Let me know what you think.
