OT Sugar, Bad temper, moderation & self knowledge

November 15, 2009

The issue with that particular child was that she had a sensitivity with sugar,

while her sister did not. She learned that she had to take sugar in moderation

for herself, while her sister's moderation level was higher. We all have

different moderation levels specific to our individual bodies. I significantly

reduced my sugar and caffine for health reasons because I'm hypoglycemic to

prevent the future developement of diabeties. Some people have a higher

tolerance for alcohol, which I do because alcoholism runs in my family. I

recently went out for drinks with a friend and her husband, a criminal defense

attorney specilizing in DUI defense. After I drank 4 large mixed drinks over

the course of 2 hours, he did a breath analyzer on me to determine if I could

drive home. I was a 0.00 on three different machines used in Georgia. I did

not eat anything during those two hours, while his wife had 3 beers during that

same time and she blew a

.087, legally drunk in Georgia. He was our DD. I do not drink often and alway

with a DD as I don't keep alcohol in the house. I just have a very high

tolerance for it. The difference in his wife's body weight and mine was 15

pounds. I really think things really come down to how well people know their

bodies and how what they put into their bodies reacts. I don't like putting

things into my body, especially medication, without knowing all of the side

effects. I always know about meds before the doctor gives them to me, and I

double check them before leaving the pharmacy no matter how sick I am to make

sure no one has given me the wrong meds. I read labels and research

ingredients, which farm fresh produce only has God as an ingredient. My best

advice is to know your body, how what you put into your body reacts with it, and

know your limits, plus those of your children. I've been like this ever since I

had a sever allergic reaction to

codine cough syrup when I was 2 and nearly died. My mother worked very hard at

educating my sister and I to know these things, and we will in turn educate our

children. Education is a powerful tool for all people to posses. Know

thyself!!
