5 reasons why I wanna decrease my sugar intake! 🍞🥞🍕🍰🥤

Happy Sunday, my dear friends in this wonderful read dot cash universe :) I am so glad that everyone here is on their road to success. It is really true that if one perseveres, learns, and be determined, and has the dedication, success is just around the corner.

You can achieve your goal, believing in yourself is the first step. True or true?

I know I have listed some of my goals for the year and one of them is having a healthier lifestyle. I haven't started even one yet! Yeah, punish me if you must. But the other day, we went out to buy some treats and I had a cheat day (Every day is a cheat day for me lol) I bought a donut for myself. I felt something weird after eating it, I got dizzy and I felt sleepy, and some other sensations I couldn't describe. I could hear my conscience shouting at me, "See? I told you so!". So I'm gonna state the reasons why I had to cut the sugar off.

The need to control my weight

Artificial sugars and sweeteners can make us fat if they're not being burnt and since I don't walk a lot or exercise, I am fat and I am sad about it. I am not yet obese, thank goodness but I will be anytime soon. I think it's gonna be a farewell to the cake, Milo drink, iced tea, soft drinks, and ice cream. But how could I live without them?

For better health

Having a normal weight according to my height is healthy. I am a small woman, don't ask how small but I can't be like 60 kilos! I have to cut the sugar off or I might experience symptoms- if I am not having it already, of diabetes. I looked at my neck and armpit, they kind of get a little darker, a sign that my sugar is high. I had to act fast.

To bring my confidence back

I never had a decent pic or a selfie since I gained a lot of weight. I feel so ugly. Sweating during running or jogging makes me feel sexy and beautiful, now I am just a bitter, ugly woman with a big baby pouch. I am proud of my pouch but not the extra layers of fat. Imagine, I could no longer fit some of my clothes. How could I be confident?

So I could finally take a selfie

I love taking selfies from time to time, but how could I do that showing my double chin? Or my big tummy? I want to feel younger, fresh, and healthy but indulging in too much sugar's a hindrance to those dreams. Take me back to my sweet, old, sexy me lol.

To be happier

Being fat with all of these chronic pains every day is torture and to be honest, I am kind of depressed. Perhaps having a healthier lifestyle will free me from this misery. I do think I can still eat sweets but in moderation and remember what I want to achieve to be happier and confident again.

I wanna have a body like this again, my friends. I wanna wear a dress again. I did eat a lot of sweets on this occasion but I didn't add more weight because I walk my way to work.

I need discipline and the determination to really achieve my dream bod. Do you think I can do it? How about you? Have you started living a healthier lifestyle- eating consciously and exercising? I hope you did, if not, it's not too late to start :)

Have a great weekend, my friends! Do something silly or adventurous today.

Love,

Glessa
