Do you crave sugar all the time? Are you a walking sweet-tooth?
\nAsk God to help you curb your sugar habit, and have some fruit, instead. Fruit has sugar, of course, but much less than the sugars in baked goods, or table sugar. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
You know you want to eat less, but you may not have the will power. With spiritual power, health and abstinence from sugar overeating is yours.
\nBetter yet, instead of sweetness from sugar, let life give you the
\nsweetness you need, and look to God’s creation to treat you.  <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Enjoy a
\nbeautiful sunset, or the elegance of newly fallen snow. Engage yourself
\nin the spirit of living: take time for a really nice, long
\nconversation, take a child to the movies, or pick some fresh flowers. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Help someone out of a crisis, or just listen. Next time you crave a sweet, call a
\nsweet friend instead.
\nIf you’re a former sugar lover like I was, it will take time to adjust
\nto lesser amounts. Give it the time your body needs. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Take it slowly,
\ncutting down little-by-little, day-by-day. Have fruit, some really high
\nquality, fresh, ripe, beautiful living fruit instead. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
