I remember when I first saw this video - it moved me to tears, in fact, it still does. I still remember that feeling of wanting, wanting the sugar/alcohol/whatever - knowing that it would make me feel 'better' (fleetingly) and then I'd be off on the roller coaster ride of mood swings, depression, highs and lows again. Ugh.
I've always known that sugar is a drug and thankfully society and science is catching up. It is very real.
When I first started doing the food and I heard that sugar affects the same brain receptors as heroin I was blown away. Of course it does. That explains it. The constant craving, the lies, the broken promises, the withdrawal. Addiction is addiction.
But knowing that there is a solution to healing sugar sensitivity, sugar addiction, that actually WORKS, phew, that's kinda intense.
Today the mood swings are gone, so is the depression, and the 'crazies', oh, and the bingeing. Not to mention the cravings. Or the weight fluctuations.
In its place is a steadiness, a calm certainty that I can handle whatever life throws at me. A confidence that everything will be all right.
And I wouldn't swap that for the world!
