When Sugar Becomes Your Savior
What do you reach for when life gets hard? When stress hits, deadlines loom, or loneliness creeps in-where do your hands automatically go? For millions of us, the answer is sugar. Not because we're weak, but because we've learned that sweetness offers instant comfort, a momentary escape from whatever we're feeling. But here's the uncomfortable truth: that comfort is a counterfeit. Sugar promises relief but delivers dependency, offers pleasure but extracts a price, and whispers satisfaction while leaving us emptier than before. When thousands responded to a simple online confession-"My name is Wendy and I'm a sugar addict"-it revealed something profound: we're not just battling cravings; we're battling a spiritual hunger we've been feeding the wrong things. This isn't another diet book. It's an invitation to discover what truly satisfies.
