I have decided to give up sugary foods as a minor addiction. My relationship with sugary food is insane. I can’t function without eating at least a tiny bit of sugary foods. Whenever I crave sweets, I would eat chocolate if not candy, cakes, or Ice-cream, and I consume at least two full of spoon sugar in my coffee which is excessive given that I drink coffee twice a day. And I often find myself crave for sugar when I’m stressed and now that I’m thinking to give up on it, I will have to consume the sweetness from other sources like fruits which I’m not very fond of. I choose this minor addiction because recently I have been experiencing acne breakouts on my face and although I was recommended by my dermatologist to cut back on sugar, I failed to do so. Despite using all effecting products to get rid of acne, it keeps coming back because sugar-rich foods spike my insulin levels and cause inflammation throughout my body, leading my body to make more sebum and oily substances, resulting in acne on my face. This is one of the reasons I have decided to give up on sugar again. I’m certain it will be extremely difficult for me to change my habit not to mention that I’m already terrified of drinking my coffee without sugar.
