I haven't eaten anything sweet for 2½ years.
This week I was given some carrot cake, which had a generous topping of butter icing. It was made by the granddaughter of a work colleague. I felt obligated to eat it, just to be polite. It was very nice, and I enjoyed eating it, but what a mistake.
The next day I felt terrible, it was like having a hangover. I felt lethargic, getting out of bed was an effort, my body was sore, and I had a headache all day.
Never again.
