I honestly don't eat a lot of sugar except for maybe Oreo week (my period). It is now on my mind a lot because I can’t have it. It’s the forbidden fruit. In ‘French women don’t get fat’ she talks a lot about the pleasures of life. Even in ‘Bringing up bebe’ which is an American woman raising her children in France talks about how French women won’t do anything unless it’s pleasurable. Those French women must be able to shut off sugar cravings or maybe they just walk so much to stay thin.
I’m not even 100% cutting out sugar from my diet. I still have a few grams per day which are hidden in the foods I eat. Yet I find it difficult to stay below the WHO recommendations of sugar. I’m not even a sugar addict but I’m slowly feeling like one. Maybe I need to go 100% away from sugar if that’s even possible to do, maybe with a raw food diet or even paleo diet. I thought staying below the WHO was going to eventually become a lifestyle change to a healthy norm. I thought it’d at least, keep me slightly sane.
Maybe this is bad timing too. I started this during my period and now today I am on cold medications. I didn’t feel so bad the first few days but now that I have a sore throat and am congested I want everyone to bring me all the donuts and cookies in the land. I have a weird theory that when you are sick you revert back to childhood. Although I'd like to congratulate myself for eating spinach last night instead of digging out my girl scout cookies.
