Waffles and pancakes.... gateway drugs

Everyday I see the media catching on to the fact that sugar and flour are the drugs that are making us all fat. Today Dr Mercola had a good article entitled "Why do we overeat?"

This morning my daughter made these homemade sugar cinnamon waffles. They smelled and looked so good, the addictive part of my brain said "what's the harm, I'll have one." But she's seen my struggles and knows about my addiction so told me not to - forbid me - to have one. I was glad to have her support...

 You might ask why I would let her make waffles. I have to live in a world where these foods are everywhere so I can't base my success on other people's choices. These uneaten waffles are still sitting on the table and fortunately I have no physical cravings, I just know I would like the taste.

 Waffles and pancakes are gateways drugs to full-blown sugar binging for me. Its been two weeks since I've had any sugar (I had one piece of bread so a little flour) and I feel a lot better and have lost 15lbs.  I still have a long way to go but am not going to give up!!

    Hi Debbie! I just started Isagenix last week. Today is my 6th day. I've been looking for others who are on Isagenix and blogging. I have a weight loss blog that I've had which I'm going to start talking about Isagenix on. You have done really well! I had lost 112 lbs on my own over about 3 years. But I didn't feel good at all. I'm already feeling better. Anyway, hope to keep in touch! If you want to see my website, it's at http://mariasmusing.blogspot.com/ .
