Dear LPG

I know that I can be described as ‘on the cusp’ and I am not talking about astrology.  I am one of the many people who are teetering on the borders of type two diabetes.  I also know that I am not unique as quite a few of my 60-something friends have been told the same thing but my big problem is that I have a seriously sweet tooth.

I love a doughnut and the best bit is the sugar coating, tea and coffee are just not the same if I take the sugar away and the thought of a bowl of breakfast cereal without sugar is a good reason to skip it altogether for me.

For all this I just know that I have to do something about what I have to admit is a bit of an addiction and for two or three years I have been going to get started, but ‘D’ day has been put off so many times that I am no nearer the beginning of my reformed habit than I ever was.

But the time has come and as we get closer to the beginning of yet another new year I have decided that this is a new year’s resolution that I have to adopt, so I took a look on line to see what it suggests about ways to proceed.

I found a lot of information there including a video that claims to help you break the habit in ten days (although I don’t think that that is possible… well not for me anyway).  But I know that I really do need to at least get started and I also know that I am not the only one.

I know that there is quite a large proportion of us who have a sugar habit that it would be advantageous to break or at least curb a little, and for all those who also profess to be people who ‘don’t make new year’s resolutions because they always get broken before the end of the first week of the new year’, perhaps breaking the resolution habit so that you can break the sugar habit to some extent would make making the effort worth it.
