Hi, my name is Laura. I am addicted to sugar. There it always is, luring me in, offering comfort and security. But no - I end up on an emotional roller coaster; one with more downs than ups.
So I am going to quit.
Yeah, it won't be easy and yeah, i'll probably fail a few times. But it doesn't matter - my goal is to quit eating sugar, and that's it.
It does me no good. Its primary function in my life is to take me down a path of sugar-related obsession and compulsion, with ultimately only negative outcomes.
Right now in fact, I'm lying on my bed, stomach bloated and feeling nauseous from my latest bingeing. My stomach feels like its going to explode. I deserve better than this.
So here in lies this blog. Sure, I might not write in it as much as is 'optimal'. Sure, it might not be the most thrilling writing or subject matter ever devised. But, at the end of the day, I need to quit sugar, for reasons of my mental and physical health.
So here's to the start of my endeavours. And here's to hoping my efforts will inspire someone, somewhere, to make a tough, important change in their life as well.
With love,
Laura
