Sweet Toxicity

I learned something new today.  An excess of sugar in your diet makes your immune system go down, because your body is working so hard to get the sugar out of your blood it doesn’t have the energy to focus on making sure the viruses and other nasty’s don’t get a foot hold.  This very likely explains why I’m sick again.  I thought I was just run down but it could be the cake and cookies that I eat everyday!  Stupid bakery (because it’s the bakeries fault, not mine)!

I chatted to my “friend” in Van again briefly tonight and he further explained that it was because I was so negative while I was there that he’s been keeping his distance.  Seems he doesn’t need to be dragged down… I guess I didn’t realize that I’m still such a toxic personality.  Here I thought that I’d been doing really well in that respect.  I suppose that this is another of life’s lessons learned.  Someone else’s perspective of you is always going to be entirely different than yours.
