FRIENDS, LOVERS AND SUGAR ADDICTION - Healing - http://maxpages.com/juice4life/White_Sugar

I was and continue to be in a relationship with an unloving lover. This lover tantalizes my taste buds. She looks so good! I have to admit, though, that the more I partake of her delights, the worse I feel. Literally. She makes me sick. Depressed. Lethargic. I know those moments when she’s out of my life that she is no lover of me or my body.

Why do I continue to be so intimate and dependent upon her charms? Well, she makes me high. She makes me so high, that I’m not even aware that I’m high for only a matter of moments before I experience the let down of not being truly cared for. This unloving lover is sugar. I’ve tried over and over again to terminate my relationship with her - but all it takes is a glimpse of her and I find I’ve fallen for her again.

Many of us have made a friend and a lover out of white sugar. White sugar, for many of us, offers us comfort, stimulation and distraction. The irony is that this friend is responsible for the anxiety, lethargy and depression that causes us to need comfort, stimulation and distraction. She is the drug that both eases and causes our symptoms of ill health.

An aggressive lover like sugar appeals to your propensity to believe lies (“sugar makes you happy,” “sugar gives you energy,” “nothing makes you feel better than sugar,” “you’re not normal if you don’t love sugar”). Sugar provides us with fleeting sugar high orgasms, and then rewards our surrender to her charms with bodily harm. Sugar causes a reaction in our bodies that excites then wears our bodies out. Many of our body's organs (especially the pancreas) eventually cease to function because of the wear and tear sugar causes on the body. She makes us feel sick after she has had her way with us, just like a bad lovers tends to do.

Sugar puts your body in a state of shock from the too quickly elevated rise of blood sugar level in your blood. Every organ and gland is put to work in secreting substances like insulin to lower your blood sugar level to safe levels. Every time you put white sugar in your mouth, your body must work like a slave in Egypt in order to neutralize its shocking affect. Sugar shock might have a fleeting moment of pleasure but the wear and tear on our bodies, ages us and zaps us of energy and physical well being.

Sugar is like that! Sugar treats you like a slave. It shouts at you from every direction, “Eat those cookies, no ALL the cookies! Eat that chocolate, I don’t care if you’ve just eaten all those cookies! You want me! You want me! Eat me! Eat me!” Sugar appears as if she’s going to be fun but her sense of fun is so deceiving that it’s hard to see that we’re not having any fun. She doesn’t care that you’ve said that you want no more of her kind of love. You’ve told her, "I want my body to be treated with love, care and respect."

Sugar laughs and says, "But you can’t live without me. You love what I do for you." Sugar appeals to your superficial senses, "C’mon, baby, just this once. Those lips, I see your mouth watering ever so slightly. C’mon, Baby, you can trust me. Don’t I treat you nice? I give you sugar, I give you a rush, I give you that sweet energy. You never feel as good as when I’m inside you."

What do you mean sugar gives me energy and makes me feel good? I feel good after eating sugar for only a moment or two (about the same period of time spent enjoying sex with an unloving lover). After that initial spike, I feel tired, anxious, and queasy - I keep eating sugar hoping it will wake me up and make me feel better. But no matter how much I surrender to her, I am rewarded with feeling more tired, lethargic and abused. I end up blaming myself for being so weak and so gullible - to fall for her once again and end up feeling bad.

Sugar is not a real friend. It’s like the Cyborg metallic character in Terminator II. Looks like a friend and can even look like family, but on the inside all chemical and all destruction. I know in my best of hearts that sugar is making me feel sick, causing me to lose my attractiveness, is stealing my appetite for natural foods and is filling my body with waste product. I can taste the waste that’s in my blood and in my digestive system from partaking of her enticements.

I see my kids eating sugar and I want to say, be careful, sugar is not a nice friend. Sugar doesn’t like your body! Sugar doesn’t like your personality! Sugar doesn’t take care of you. Sugar puts your body in a state of shock and you will feel mean and irritable and lethargic and depressed and be bidden to go back for more, just to feel better.

THERE IS A BETTER LOVER FOR YOU THAN SUGAR. This lover doesn’t appeal to superficial tastes. This lover sees you for you. This lover wants the best for your body. This lover wants nothing more than to see you clean, inside and out, trim and beautiful, your skin flawless, your energy high, your temperament calm, joyful and loving. This lover is plant food -- fresh fruit and vegetables. Attempting to avoid choosing foods without sugar at your favorite supermarket will land you in the fresh produce department because white sugar is most everywhere else.

Meat is not typically associated with white sugar, unless it’s in the middle of two pieces of white bread (white flour converts to sugar upon digestion). Meat does not play the games with your body as sugar, but if you depend upon Meat as a friend, make sure you’ve made a lover out of Plant Food. Without the influence and loving energy of Plant Food, Meat and other less healthy friends will take advantage of the warmth and safety of your digestive system and laze around for days causing a lot of putrefaction and toxification and digestive delay. This will make you mad and irritable (as most lazy friends do) - most of us don’t function well when we’ve got putrefying waste matter in our guts.

Plant food will energize and motivate lazy friends, to change and move on and rise to higher levels. If you care about yourself, if you have visions of severing your relationship with sugar, if you want to be in a healthy relationship with the food that you eat, invite more plant food in your life. Plant food will help you stay happy and in love with yourself. Establishing a committed relationship with the best lover on this planet, fresh fruit and vegetables, will help lessen sugar’s hold over you and help keep less energetic friends from stripping you of well-deserved happiness and health.

Fruits and vegetables -- vital and full of life, just like the best lovers are. A happy and healthy life depends upon becoming aware of whom you consider friends and whom you choose as lovers.
