“Part of the ingenuity of any addictive drug is to fool you into believing that life without it won’t be as enjoyable” ~Alan Carr “I’m okay, thanks.” See that?
I just turned down a Tony’s Chocolonely from our family advent calendar. I don’t care that it’s a white raspberry popping candy flavor I have never, ever tried before.
I don’t care that I remember being a kid, opening chocolate coins from my stocking. I don’t care! Because this year, I’m going into the holiday month already sugar-free.
And I am tentatively walking on air about it!! I’m forty-five, and it’s taken a lot of bingeing and secret eating, regret, and shame to get here.
