Giving up sugar
A simple and, in my opinion, beautiful story
A mother took her young son to see an Indian holy man.
Mother: Please tell my son to stop eating sugar.
Holy man: Bring your son back in three days’ time.
Three days passes, and once again the mother has brought her son to see the holy man.
Holy man to son: Stop eating sugar.
Mother: Why couldn’t you have said that three days ago?
Holy man: Because three days ago I hadn’t stopped eating sugar.
Such a wise story Terry. Thanks for sharing it! I wonder if I should share it with my vegan friends who still wear expensive leather boots...?
Nah. I have hypocrisies of my own to sort out.
I gave up sugar about a year ago. Lost about 2 stone and reversed type 2. A pint of Guinness has 5 teaspoons of sugar in it. And I LOVE the export strength 'Nigerian' version.
