Thursday, Jan 31, I am going on a sugar strike. I am no nutritionist, but I am going to cut out as much sugar as possible. This is including my diet soda, Crystal Light, and desserts and candy of any kind. I heard on Oprah the other day that my hair loss could be due to too much sugar, which could be turning to testosterone at my age, which then causes facial hair and hair loss! Now, I know this could not be what is happening to me, but I really do consume way too much sugar each day. I only drink one glass of diet soda a day, and no regular soda for years now. No juice due to allergies, but I do drink Crystal Light, but it is just so sweet tasting so I water it down. This is the only way I can drink water - but not tomorrow. Just plain water for me. I need to stop my sugar craving. Forget about craving, addiction. I am allergic to chocolate and would never eat it until I found out about five years ago that I was allergic to it. Crazy how the brain works, huh? I found out about most of my allergies just a few years ago and have been able to work around most of my medical problems since, getting off medications. But I've increased my sugar intake. I have also developed a belly that I never had, no matter how over weight I always was. I have made realization about my age, my body, hormones and so on, but there are things I won't accept. I know I can act on some of these. So I hope you can wish me luck tomorrow.
