Just one of those "I'm curious" surveys!!!!

Hello everyone - This oughta get the juices flowing in the old fingers as far as posts go!! Hehe!

I am curious about something. How many of you were heavy duty sugar eaters BEFORE cancer. When I say sugar I mean eating things like lots of chocolate, pastries, candy, cookies, cake etc. I ate lots - way more than I should have. I was always an avid exerciser and did keep my weight down. I also made sure I ate all the right things BUT I did eat wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too many of those chocolately things - bakery items. I still struggle with it and TRY TRY TRY to not overindulge in those things. Sometimes I'm successful and sometimes I am not.

We always here about the correlation between "sugar" and cancer. Sometimes I stress over that and as I'm OVERINDULGING in the chocolate I feel so guilty. I picture cancer cells growing while I'm eating it. I know I'm torturing myself with that kind of thinking but I can't lie and say I don't think about that. For the most part I do much better than I did before cancer but as I said earlier, sometimes I don't and of course the more I stress over me "killing" myself the harder I make it for myself.

Ok - now I'll wait for you to share with me. Hugs to everyone and a kiss I send - A CHOCOLATELY ONE! Hehehehehehehehe!
