HI! MY NAME IS KATHY AND I’M SUGARHOLIC.

Hey people- how are you doing?
Right... Well, it's been a wee while since I last wrote anything!
Once again I trust this finds you wel and that you are having a fantastic week. Without a doubt the world is unstable on so many fronts. In this crazy & negative world there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Let’s embrace ourselves for the best and pray for those hurting.

It’s one thing to set a goal. It’s another thing to have a plan to help you attain the desired goal into a HABIT.

Late last year, I made a commitment to stop taking artificial sugar in 2009… actually I don’t think I understood the meaning of this resolution until 1st January.

On 1st January, I paid a visit to a friend and Walaahhhhh…..there she was enjoying a delicious, white and brown chocolate bar. It hit me really bad and I got to realize that 95% of what I consumed on a daily basis had sugar. Am talking about Cakes, Cookies, Biscuits, Chocolates, Bread with peanut butter and jam, Soda’s, Sweet pies…you can name it all.

As said earlier, I had made a decision to stop taking artificial sugar for a year or so until I could handle the amounts I put into my body.
Had I made a right decision to stop consuming that much sugar? Could I pull it off?
It was 1st January and it seemed like ages.

I now realize that I was pretty addicted to Sugar. And I might as well say: - HI! MY NAME IS KATHY AND I’M A SUGARHOLIC.

We have got to be accountable for all we do…We Are What We EAT. This is the main reason I have decided to give up artificial sugar. It’s tough and requires a lot of discipline but it’s all worth it. It’s a minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day process. The truth is, it’s really hard to quit an addiction.

I can hardly believe it’s the 20th day and I have stayed away from sugar. There are times I wanted to give-up and take a soda or a pie… but somehow God has helped me through.
Each and everyday is a gift from above.

What is your addiction? And as you think about it REMEMBER that:-
You make the world a better place by making yourself a better person.

Take care, we will talk again soon... i surely hope that this site will be a major encouragement in your life throughout this year.

Living passionately,
Katherine
