Sugar-tarian

Before thanksgiving I was undecided about whether or not I would be eating turkey with my dinner. As the food began circling the table the decision was suddenly upon me, meat or no meat. I took a little turkey and ate a bite or two, but alas the nausea soon followed. So my thanksgiving was mostly turkey free.

In the wake of my slight dissapointment at not eating turkey on turkey day I consoled myself by thinking about all the yummy holiday treats that are sure to abound during the next few weeks. First to mind; Christmas Creme Cookies....mmmmm. Then I thought about all the calories involved in all those treats, calories which I know I don't need. First to mind; Christmas Creme Cookies.....oh(sad face).

That is the moment I wondered why I couldn't feel about sugar the way I feel about meat. I decided to try to think about all the grossness of sugar. After sitting with a pen and paper for over 20 minutes, (I've decided to be open and honest about my intense need to make lists for everything) I had no bullet points under the heading, "Things That Are Gross About Sugar."

So my desire to be a sugar-tarian was short lived due to the lack of evidence in support of it. Oh well, but at least I will get to eat those Christmas Creme Cookies....mmmm. Maybe I'll try to keep it to a minimum, then again.....
