Speaking of sugar addiction, I just read a great post by Aaaron Wall about how sugar addiction affects your whole life.

He captures so well the struggle that those of us addicted to sugar go through, trying to find balance in our lives while we are under the pernicious influence of the sugar drug. The whole thing is a vicious circle - he explains it a lot better than I can.

The post also mentions a book called The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Program. I had not heard of this book before, but it is by Kathleen DesMaisons Ph.D., the author of the book Potatoes Not Prozac that I mentioned earlier.

I ordered the book and will let you know how it is. I have a feeling it will really help me. I am on my 10th day without sugar now, by the way. The irritability was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. But I feel constantly hungry and am really missing sweets. So far I have been strong, but I hope I don’t cave in and have any. It’s like being an alcoholic, one drink (one piece of candy) is enough to do me in.

Anyway, I am going to have to re-read Aaron’s post several more times - there is a lot there.
