What's more Addictive than Cocaine?

What is more addictive than cocaine? 

Sugar 

According to "CBS This Morning" and many other studies sugar is being said to be eight times more addictive than cocaine. What! Seriously? 

I have known sugar is addictive but more addictive than cocaine? This sounds absurd but after reading many studies and doing a bit or research it seems that this statement may in fact be true. 

In my effort for a healthier life I decided it's time to break away from this addictive substance. My biggest problem is when I start eating the stuff I just cant stop. Five M&Ms turn into the whole bag which leads to cookies, candy and any all other sweets in the house. I am not much of a junk food eater (chips, takeout, donuts etc) but I love my chocolate and lollies. 

So here is to 30 days of no Sugar

The first attempt was a total failure! 

I lasted 48 hrs. Dang you Swigs sugar cookies.

Second attempt only 24 hrs, failure! Road trip to Arizona. 

Yep, even my third attempt ended in failure! Aunties fudge. 

Not eating sugar is much tougher than expected especially when you are traveling and vacationing. 

Fourth attempt is in current progress, so far 3 days down 27 to go. This one is going to be the winner. The first 2 days were a little tough because I wanted a sweet after dinner but on day 3 the craving was very minimal. Let's see how the rest of this journey goes. 

I challenge everyone to try a 30 day sugar cleanse; let me know how is goes :)
