While I wasn’t involved in drugs or alcohol, it was an addiction nevertheless.
Sugar had me in its grasp, and I remember for a stretch of time every night I would sit on the couch + eat a piece of cake. Sugar-filled treats were no longer a celebratory thing for me, I partied with them every night!
I always thought I naturally had a sweet tooth + that I just didn’t have the willpower, so I gave in just about every time I wanted something sweet.
OR I would go on a crash diet to make sure that I stayed away from it all together. I was constantly in a ditch on either side of the road.
But what I found after I broke the addiction is that the narrative playing in my head was A LIE.
Sure, it IS true that I do enjoy sweets + still have cravings for something sweet every now + then, but what is also true is that I GREW MY WILLPOWER.
Willpower isn’t God-given gift to some + not to others. It’s just like a muscle- in order to grow, it has to be worked.
I learned so much about food + how to make treats healthier for me when I started my first fitness + nutrition program in 2015.
The knowledge that I’ve gained over the past six years has helped me to NEVER go back to the way I used to be. A simple + sustainable nutrition plan helped me to BREAK the addiction for good.
That’s FREEDOM. You can be free, too.
