Mea culpa. Well, I blew it — but big!
I made some major omissions in my Weighing in On Astute Bloggers With A Weighty Mission. (That’s what I get for burning the midnight oil instead of sleeping!)
OK, here goes:
Connie’s Omission # 1:
First off, I should have stated succinctly and right away that although I am a journalist, it was my own horrific sugar experiences that piqued my interest in the dangers of sugars and refined carbs in the first place! That’s why I ultimately wrote my upcoming book SUGAR SHOCK! — because I do not want others to suffer as I once did!
How the heck could I have neglected to talk about (much less remember) my horrific sugar nightmare of 1998 (and before) when talking about my own blogging qualifications?
Today, seven-plus years after my "turning point," as I call it, I simply find it quite entertaining that I’d forget to mention in semi-quasi detail (at the least) how I become so focused (OK, obsessed) about this sugary subject!
Am I so far removed from my days of suffering from "brain fog," seeming endless fatigue, heart palpitations that me feel my ticker would jump onto the sidewalk, and mood swings (which made my boyfriend dump me) that I simply forgot to state upfront that I am a former sugar addict?
I mean I suffered 44 hypoglycemic symptoms! That’s why my doctor said, "Connie, quit this stuff now, and you’ll feel better."
Perhaps it’s that I’m simply still mortified by my behavior when under the influence, so to speak, of sweets. (I now jokingly call myself a "Sugar Shrew No More!" Check out my Connie cartoons, in which I poke fun of myself.)
Here’s my favorite one:
Connie’s Story: That Was Then… This is Now…
Anyhow, although my background as a sugar addict was instrumental in triggering my interest in the subject, it’s now my journalism background that comes to my rescue and assistance when working with health researchers (who helped me review medical studies) and in putting together my book.
So, all said and done, you could call me an evangelistic, "Sugar Shrew No More" anti-sugar blogger-journalist!
Got a better name for what kind of blogger I am? Tell me!
(See next post for another omission!)
