Meet Rachel Murray.
How many of us eat crap food as a reward for putting a hard effort out on the trails, road, or track? Do you prefer eating a big slice of cake or mowing down a huge bowl of pasta as an "I earned this" treat? In this introduction to a several part mini-series on sugar addiction, Rachel and I discuss what sugar addiction is, why it's hard to overcome, and why many of us may not see as a problem.
Rachel has a quick self-assessment that she goes over on the show, make sure to take note of the questions, answer honestly and see if you might want to dig a bit deeper with Rachel to see if you have a problem with sugar.
“You don’t get over an addiction by stopping using. You recover by creating a new life where it is easier not to use. If you don’t create a new life, then all the factors that brought you to your addiction will catch up with you.”
