Processed Sugar - a major weakness for me. Craig calls it "The Other White Powder". Since our CFS road trip began, we have, at times completely taken sugar out of our diets. For me this is huge but for Craig not so hard.
It is my addiction. I have seen, as I remove it, there are amazing benefits - My body is much less tired. I don't crash. What I replace it with is so full of goodness that I'm bouncing off the walls - You'd think I could never be tempted to go back. But there it is. Temptation.
3 weeks ago I was so tired with my pregnancy & looking after the boys that I made the decision to completely go off processed sugar again - No more snacks. No giving in to cravings. Within days I was a new person - running around the playground with the kids, swinging like a monkey and wheeeeing down the slide with delight.
Then came Easter - the most refreshing and uplfting time of year for Christians. The time when we remember the humble and dreadful death of God as man Jesus Christ and his glorious resurrection to the White Throne where he rules as God our loving King and just judge...... - and chocolate.
I resisted until Easter Sunday. By then Craig was sick and I was going downhill fast. All my resistance crumbled.
Have I raised it so high that "the Other White Powder" sits, in my esteem, alongside the King and Saviour? Is sugar my functional saviour? God forbid.
