For a while now, I have been thinking about my sweet tooth. Just how bad was it to have a sweet tooth? What implications would there be for me now, later and for my family?
I had been thinking about this for a while and had been seeing the occasional documentary on TV all about the 'sugar drug'. It wasn't until I watched a 60 minutes episode about the implications of sugar that I finally decided that enough was enough. It was the turning point. I realised that I was a sugar addict. I WAS ADDICTED. I didn't want to be another statistic - and I did not want to be filling my kids arteries with this poison either. So that was that. It was really that simple. The next day, I quit sugar, and so did my husband.
I purchased Sarah Wilson's 'I quit sugar' ebook and her 'I quit sugar recipe book' and I was set. I also started reading online and borrowing books from the library about sugar, the history of it and the addiction to it. Following this, I purchased David Gilliespies 'Sweet Poison' and 'Quitting Plan' books. All this reading just confirmed over and over why my family and i should be quitting sugar - for life.
The more I read, the more I learnt and the better I felt about this decision. Any second thoughts were soon squashed and that heavy dark sugar cloud of confusion was lifting.

Purchase these ebooks from http://www.sarahwilson.com.au/. My husband and I are following her 8 week program (i'm now in day 26) and have been cooking (well I have) lots from her recipe book. I'll write more about these ebooks later.
