Are you addicted to sugar? Take the quiz!
February 20, 2013 By 11 Comments
Yes!!! I am addicted to sugar. I am on day 10 of having NO sugar. I started a 90 day challenge to get off sugar because I really feel better when I just don’t have sugar!! I came up with this quiz to help you decide if you might be addicted to sugar. This is everything I have asked myself prior to getting off sugar and I answered YES to all of them. I would say if you answer 8 out of the 10 you may want to consider joining in on the challenge.
I know back in the early part of January when I was dealing with a load of stress I was thinking oh no I keep turning to sugar. At the time in my mind I new this was only temporary but in reality I had been using sugar in 2012 to deal with the really bad year I was having. Coming out of the fuzzy blur in January I really think I was ready to give up but it was not until Feb 9th that I just decided it’s time. YOU have to be ready to do this. I was off for 2 full years and loved it. I want that healthy feeling back and I know for me ditching sugar is the way to get it.
If you are ready to give up sugar leave a message and join the challenge. Challenge Ends May 4th but this does not mean I am giving up my healthy lifestyle.
