Sugars On Me

This is my story—my struggles, the challenges I faced, the mistakes I made. Following bad advice became costly mistakes. Looking back months later, I could have lessened the difficulties that I created. I made hard, rigid, useless rules. If I made the tiniest mistake or slid back just a little bit, I would scold and point fingers at myself. I stayed persistent, even with those silly rules. I dropped from 225 pounds to 185 pounds in five months. As the months went by, I stopped scolding and pointing fingers at myself. I allowed my body to heal and allowed the changes my body needed. When I stopped having tunnel vision and turned loose the old, useless rules of diets, I made a discovery. I was okay eating the foods I've been enjoying all my life. No changes but one—removing the large quantities of sugar.

This book is more than just about losing weight. It became a realization—this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. My motivation is through the roof. My energy level is always available. The old, useless diets and the old, useless rules, I shook them off. I wrote this book to inspire and motivate, to write about the tools that helped me clear blurred lines, help me understand the confusion of what the massive food marketing has created. I go into a store for groceries with an air of confidence, knowing the lines are not blurred, they are clear. Knowing there is no confusion, my understanding is sharp. Knowing the groceries that are going into my bag will be keeping my health in tip-top condition.
