Sugar get behind me

So Sugar. It is not only the name of a dog I know..but it is this alluring substance that when once eaten I become under the spell of something I know not what. Whoever invented the processing of white sugar is probably going to hell or at least those who partake because after one has indulged, one goes through a reminder of what hell might be like. The high is very miniscule and pretty much once past the taste buds, eludes me. Then comes the feeling of not wanting to eat, deluding the participant into thinking they are being really good on their diet. But the finale of this small granule is one of emotions covering the full gamut, fury, depression, and God only knows what else before one again finds the even keel of a vegetable, meat and whole grain cuisine. Oh my. If that were not enough to cure one, but oh no!! one forgets like when having a baby and the delivery and how painful it was...all is forgotten till the next time and then yes. The light bulb goes on..Proverbs 5:4-13 describes sugar well:
But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death,
Her steps lay hold of hell.
Lest you ponder her path of life—
Her ways are unstable;
You do not know them.
Therefore hear me now, my children,
And do not depart from the words of my mouth.
Remove your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house,
Lest you give your honor to others,
And your years to the cruel one;
10 Lest aliens be filled with your wealth,
And your labors go to the house of a foreigner;
11 And you mourn at last,
When your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 And say:
“How I have hated instruction,
And my heart despised correction!
13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,
Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!

So I believe the Bible offers an answer to this: REMOVE YOUR WAY FAR FROM HER.
I am going to do that tomorrow after I finish this bag of candy corn....
