Dear Sugar,

You’re sweet. (So, so sweet). And I love being around you — a bit too much, actually.

In fact, I love being around you so much that I never stopped to think whether you were actually good for me. I might have even been a bit addicted to your presence in my life.

But it’s time to be honest. I don’t think you’re doing me any favours when it comes to my health.

And, as much as I love you, I am going to have to put strict boundaries in place when it comes to you and I.

I can see you, but only very infrequently now. Because I’ve realised that I’m actually healthier without you.

What does this mean?

Sorry Sugar, it means we are breaking up.

I’ll miss you, this will be so hard, but I need to do it for myself. xx

If I could write a letter to Sugar, it would be something like this.

I recently saw this post on my Pinterest about sugar that made me laugh:

Why the vitriol against sugar, I hear you ask?
