The sugar thing Pt. 2

So I gave up sugar and lost some weight. But why? Well, obviously I was overweight. Really overweight. Its a family trait, actually. Of myself, my mother and my aunt, someone is always dieting or planning a diet or giving up on a diet. And the sugar things goes along with the whole "diets don't work" idea. And now I agree. By giving up sugar, I made a full lifestyle change. I took a major component and just deleted it. I am not saying its easy - it isn't. I like chocolate and cake and milkshakes like everyone else, but it was time to be drastic. I am looking at Diabetes from my dad's side and hypertension from my mom's side. Lucky me. Hopefully, by making this change now, in my early 30's, I will at least be setting myself up to have control over both of those diseases. I would love to say I won't be inflicted by them, but the history is pretty strong. but I know I have made a good choice and the sacrifices are well worth it.

The sugar thing

I love when people ask if I have lost weight - "Why yes, I've lost 30 pounds," I say. And I have. Thirty lbs. in about 3 months. How? People always immediately want to know how. I gave up sugar. Simple. Most people are in total disbelief - they cannot fathom giving up sugar. Well, when the idea was brought up to me, I was certain it was beyond my will power to stop the sweet stuff. But here I am, down 30 lbs. and not missing them. Well, okay, that's a lie, I do occasionally want a piece of hot fudge cake or cookies and cream ice cream, but I can usually muster the will to not give in. Also, I have found that when I do allow myself a treat (treat being defined as anything with more than 3 grams of sugar per serving) I have found my tolerance is very low - 2-3 bites is typically all I can handle. So, I am happy to say, I conquered sugar! I was addicted - now I read labels and it is amazing the amount of sugar I took in. I am no longer a slave to food and never will be again.

Dry your shoes

This happens to all of us - you go outside and it is pouring rain and you step in the huge puddle that you just didn’t see. Or perhaps you have to go outside to shovel that snow off your car and you come back in and your shoes are completely and totally drenched. Well, first you want to keep them in room temperature but to speed up the drying process and also eliminate and possible damage crumple up some dry newspaper and stuff them in the shoes! They will dry in no time!

Traffic

A good number of the sites get a lot of traffic because they are aware of what the public’s interests are, they have been in the ‘scene’ for a long time now and their posts are reliable and well thought out. But still the better writers don’t get a lot of traffic just click the link fulltraffic.net. This can happen because of various reasons and I will give some tips how not to end up a small fish in the sea. You can also buy traffic. Many sites these days are selling visitors to your site. They start an advertisement campaign for you and this campaign will end one you have had the promised traffic. Now I have never tried a site like this before so proceed with caution. And please, for your own good, try and make it on your own first.
