The Girl Scout cookies made me mad today.

Not because I don't have any. Because I DO have them. I ordered a few boxes and of course, I am going to eat them because they are there. It is hard to believe that sugar is not a physically addictive substance. I have a real problem with a sweet tooth. So I am going to try to substantially reduce my dietary sugar intake. I am calling this Operation Sugarbust. Right now I am in the planning and research stages, so I can eat the Girl Scout cookies. I am sharing them with my coworkers, though, and I keep asking them to eat more cookies.

Supposedly people who have intense sugar cravings have a brain similarity to coke addicts: a low number of dopamine receptors.

I HATE this. My diet has improved considerably over the last year, but this is the last and most difficult problem I want to overcome. The goal isn't about losing weight; I am thin. It's about eating a healthier diet. (And if I stopped cycling, I would probably gain 20 lbs in a year's time, eating like this.)
