I was a very serious sugar-addict. One morning, after a sugar binge the previous evening I woke up and was getting dressed to go to school. I looked in the mirror after finding the baggiest outfit I could and saw how huge I had gotten. I literally fell on my knees and cried.
That very distinct memory, that deep sense of complete self disgust, discomfort, and heartache have thus far kept me from ever wanting to fall into the sugar trap again.
