F@$! Sugar

I have a love/hate relationship with sugar. I really love chocolate. There is lots of research about sugar and inflammation. Gluten too (watch out gluten, you're next to go).

I am putting this out there into the world, Monday, I broke up with sugar. Now, I am not going crazy. I am still eating fruit. And I am drinking tea with a little honey. I am just giving up the junk. The refined stuff.

I needed to do it. IVig is not cheap. We have a HUGE out of pocket maximum. Which, thanks to two rounds of said treatment and leg braces, we have already hit. If I putting so much money into my body, why am I also eating so much junk? Someone on the CIDP Facebook page wrote something about with every bite we take we are either feeding our illness or healing ourselves. That has stuck with me. And as Brett put it to me last night "Why spend so much on IVig, just to get diabetes later?".

I brushed my teeth this morning, and the toothpaste tasted really good. This is not going to be easy.

PS - I SURVIVED THE FIELD TRIP! We are so lucky to be in a school where parents look out for one another! I had a good day. I am however paying for it today. Lots of pain, and I have 2 hours of physical therapy to look forward to this morning. I will make it!
