confessions of a (former?) sugar addict

The other night I was driving home and stopped by the grocery store. I was planning on getting something sweet, but stopped to pick up some other things first (fruit, juice, bread, etc.). When I got to the candy, which I wanted, I just couldn't get it. I got this flavor in my mouth like when I've had sugar, and it just didn't taste good. Not the initial flavor, but the bad aftertaste. It's not like I've not had sweets since my sugar fast, but for some reason this time I just couldn't do it. I even tried a second time after getting another normal thing. I don't know.

Shortly before my sugar fast, I decided that I'd been having too much soda. I figured it out when I realized that I didn't even want to taste of the soda, I had it just because they served it in the restaurants. I would take the straw and put it in the back of my mouth so that the soda would just shoot down my throat without tasting it. Yeah. I don't really drink soda anymore unless it's something special.
