Why I dislike sugar.

In keeping up with the spirit of 30 days challenge, i thought of sharing my experience with sugar.
I have a deep aversion to sugar. I cannot eat more than a bite of cholates/ice-creams/cakes . I am not allergic to sugar, I can eat a lot of it without any physiological after effects except for a horrible after taste. My revulsion towards sugar is more of a cultivated, and nurtured behavior rather than a natural physiological preference. As I look back to when I was a kid, my mom implanted in by brain this extreme version of a sweet taste. We would play a little game where we would one up each other on what would be the most repugnant sweet combination one could eat. How nauseating it would be to , for example to, drink sweet tea with jalebis, dipped in honey etc. Of course mom did it as in a playful jest. But unknowingly, she planted in my sub-consciousness, an association between sweets and a feeling of disgust. So every time I see sugary stuff, the nauseating associations resurrect and the revulsion returns. As an adult, realizing the harmful effects of sugar, I have continued nurture this dislike, resulting in a recent extreme where even fruits seem too sweet (grapes/lychees/mangoes)
I did an experiment recently. I decided to unlearn my distaste of sugar. Every time I ate some, I genuinely tried to enjoy it. And shockingly, within a matter of days (not even weeks!), I saw an increasing affiliation and craving for sugar! The liking grew so rapidly, that I stopped immediately and fell back to my old ways.
Essentially, this is just another example of power of mind (re)conditioning techniques, and in my case has resulted in a good problem to have. I am looking forward to seeding this in kids psychology as well :).
