i feel so funny deep inside, sugar high.

Gotta have it really need it to get by

sugar high - Gina, Empire Records

confession: this semester, i went a little crazy on the sugar fix. this is just a small sampling of the many things i've eaten:

dangerous apple pie

cup cake bites

chocolate souffle cupcakes with mint cream (for any of you who were wondering, these are gluten free)

triple layer peanut butter chocolate cake with ganash

chocolate/cream cheese cupcakes

chocolate chip scones

chocolate chip cookies

home-made oreos

more apple pie

apple crisp

peaches with whipped cream

hot crossed buns

reese's peanut butter cup cake

bianca's birthday cake

chocolate

butterscotchery goodness

more chocolate

and so much more.

so, i believe that it's safe to say that i am sugared out. to the max.

but, i would like to school you all in a bit of scientification that my mother taught me growing up. the reason my body wants all of this candy that is listed above? because i've eaten all of that candy that i listed above. my body is used to being so pumped full of sugar that my sweat is sweet. so that's what it wants.

this is why i've made a decision. it won't be easy, but i've done it before.

starting on Thursday, April 22, the first day of my summer, i will go on a sugar hiatus.

(kind of like when tv shows go on hiatuses, but mine will not be to make more episodes, but to rid my body of the evil craving that says i want chocolate every day).

yes. until school starts again in the fall, i will not eat dessert in excess. maybe i'll go to ice cream once in a blue moon, but i need to get rid of the sugar that is running through my veins where my blood should be. (i'm not going to exclude natural sugars like fruit, nor will i exclude starch, because all i want to eat this summer is peaches, blueberries, watermelon, and pasta salad, and that would nix all of those things)

we'll see how this goes.
