Tom's Sugarfree Success Story
ON SUGAR: “Sugar is a way of self-medicating. When I was eating sugar,
I was tired all the time, crabby, irritable, sad, depressed, forgetful, anxious,
mentally confused, nervous, exhausted and hopeless about life. Sometimes I had
heart palpitations and muscle pain. I didn't feel like being social. I sat at
home a lot and watched TV and binged on sugar. I just complained about life
but did nothing to change it. I couldn't relate to anyone, and I felt that everyone
was against me. I wasn’t happy with life.”
MOST EMBARRASSING SUGAR MOMENT: “The time a fellow sugar-addicted friend
and I made and drank Bailey's milkshakes right BEFORE we threw a dessert party
with champagne and six desserts.”
TIP ON BECOMING SUGARFREE: “If you’re getting off sugar, you might
want to think about going into therapy. Perhaps you’re turning to sugar
to escape from your life – which isn’t how you want it to be.”
SUGARFREE BLISS: “Now, I’m happy and calm most of the time. I’m even-tempered and much more sociable. I’m willing to try new things and take risks. I get out more and laugh about almost everything. I’m much more social at work, and I can handle life without freaking out or getting completely depressed. I have better, clearer thoughts and ideas. It’s great.”
