Sugar is like that charming yet unreliable date I had years ago: irresistible, but ultimately a total disaster. It takes me on a wild ride of highs and lows, stealing my joy and dignity along the way. It’s not in it for the long haul, and I know it won’t be there to support me when I’m grappling with the consequences of my sweet tooth.
Breaking up with sugar is a must. Trust me, I’ve attempted it. My three days without sugar felt like an endless pit of despair. Everything seemed gray, and my spirit was as empty as a cookie jar after a binge. After that, I thought I could just be friends with sugar, but we fell back into our old habits.
Do you find yourself in a similar sugar-induced quandary? Here are some signs that you may be a little too attached to sugar:
- You’ve driven with one hand on the wheel while the other is busy tearing open a bag of chocolate treats.
- You’ve thrown away a cake in disgust, only to later rescue it, whispering sweet nothings to it from the trash.
- You’ve growled like a feral cat if someone dares to dip into your ice cream stash. (Let’s be real: pints are meant for solo consumption.)
- You’ve convinced yourself that it’s perfectly acceptable to have a piece of chocolate at 8:30 a.m.
- You’ve daydreamed about snacks during boring meetings instead of paying attention.
- You’ve found yourself muttering “tragic” or “outrageous” when there are no sugary snacks at gatherings.
- When you say, “I’ll be right back,” it really means, “I’m going to sneak cookies from the pantry.”
- You’re a master at inventing reasons to celebrate with cake.
- Your idea of a “happy place” is curling up in an oversized donut.
- Before any impending snowstorm, your shopping list includes the essentials: toilet paper, milk, cookie dough, and candy.
- You hear donuts whispering sweetly as you stroll by Krispy Kreme.
- Your partner knows to offer you candy before delivering bad news.
- You’ve eaten your kids’ Easter candy before it even made it to the basket.
- You’ve munched on brownies meant for someone else, rationalizing that you can always bake more.
- You give a suspicious side-eye to anyone who willingly gives away their candy.
- When your doctor suggests cutting back on sugar to ease PMS, you barely resist the urge to roll your eyes—or worse.
- Lettuce? You can’t even.
- You might be indulging in a sugary snack while digesting this list.
- Your pantry is your secret sanctuary.
- You’ve found yourself justifying your sugar consumption like a pro.
