I’m giving up sugar. Forever. No more cupcakes. No more pastries. No more chocolate. Unless it’s sugar-free chocolate. Or maybe just no chocolate. I’ll eat pears. That’s natural sugar. I’ll even eat raisins. Natural sugar. But very high in natural sugar. Maybe not raisins.

I’m giving up sugar forever. I believe it’s evil. I don’t feel too hot on sugar. When I say “on” sugar it’s because sugar is a drug. It has to be. Why can I eat one bite of chocolate cake and want the whole damn cake? What’s that about?

I’m giving up sugar forever. If I have one cookie, just one, I want 20. And I’ll EAT 20. What’s up with that? That’s not good. Any fool will tell you it ain’t good. It’s no good. It’s actually bad.

I don’t want to be addicted to sugar. I will eat steak. Or chicken. Or tofu. Just no tofu with teriyaki sauce. That has sugar. I just said no sugar forever. Teriyaki sauce is off the list.

I’ll make a list. I’ll make a list of all the foods I can eat that ain’t got no sugar. On second thought, I won’t have natural sugar either. Why muss up the plan? If I have raisins in my oatmeal I’ll just want brown sugar too. Raisins are a gateway drug to real sugar. If I have an apple, I’ll want apple pie. That ain’t good.

Apples are a gateway drug to pie.

See what I mean?

Sugar is evil.

I’ll just have celery juice.
