Unsweetening Update

There was time when the demands, expectations and pressures of living a normal life drained all sweetness from being, which to me, is the norm of normal life.

Then I decided that it was high time to unclad myself from the straitjacketed normal life-the damning normal life and its once-upon-a-time prized-possessions. When I started the task I felt like I needed to double my calorie intake of healthy meals and snacks so as to complete the mission.

It turns out that repossessing- although I now prefer the word reclaiming- my emotions as part and parcel of my being normal, which incidentally is unnormally the real norm, keeps me wanting to indulge in the forbidden foods- sweet, sugary brain food in everything I crave. I continue to ally with the brain cells booster that I cannot have and cannot seem to suppress my brain from desiring. Talk about a double whammy!

Unlearning the mythical menace of the connection between the sweet and sugary blood still seem beyond logical explanation. Considering how much starch, sugar-refined and unrefined that I have been avoiding like the plagues of God, my glycemic index should be way below zero by now. But no, it keeps rising and raising its gleaming figures and its scary sugary side effect stories seem to take pleasure in retelling its tales of woes.

What do I do? My brain is pounding for some of that glucose that the high carb-low GI foods are slow in delivering.

I will have bowl of ice cream topped with roughage and exercise and then carry on with the emotional unloading and rebalancing because frankly, between a sugarless life and stressful living, I choose to suck on the sweetness of the marrow of life. The body is vitally important and so is sweetness of spirit; synergistically they need each other to fully function and so the body cannot always run the show nor the shadow of the mind fight to win its bravado.

This unsweetening update took disease by surprise; granted it has not been the first notice I served it. It just never took me seriously!
So indeed
A good idea not acted upon is as good as death
A bad idea acted out is as good as life
