How Do We Change Our Ways?

I started this blog last year for two reasons: to keep some sort of "visual" log of foods eaten and how those foods played into my hypoglycemic state and to pass any useful information that came my way to others. I've failed at both. Not surprising because sugar, the drug/toxin to which I am most addicted to, is still very much part of my diet. How do I reverse a lifetime of eating sweets and having the body crave it into a healthy body that feels and functions well without it?

I am an intelligent person. It is not that I don't understand what a bad diet will do to me. I started the new year with one sole resolution: eat better/eat only what you are supposed to eat. Well, that resolution evaporated in the air around the third day or so.

I'm not going to go on and on about this but I ask: why do we do continue to do those very things that harm us in the end? And, more importantly, have you, in your personal quest, found a way to resolve this? What was the AHA moment for you when you said enough was enough and finally changed your ways.

I'd like your thoughts...your morsels of wisdom.
