I have a big confession. I am addicted to sugar. I have come to terms with this over the years and have tried to consume it in moderation. It is not like I eat it from the canister by the spoonfuls, but rather it comes in the form of peanut butter cups, cookies, cake, candy corn, frosting, and Diet Coke. I think there is something that is triggered in my brain and when I feel a little stressed, excited, overwhelmed, tired or just happy then something in my brain signals and I want it right then.
The thing I have learned about sugar is the more you have then the more your body thinks it needs. This makes it seem like a drug addiction and I am definitely not comfortable with that. Here is the plan, I am going to give it up. Cold turkey. Right here and right now. How long can I make it? I am not one to believe in strict diets because life is short and I believe you got to enjoy life and good food. I don’t believe in food deprivation, but this little test is something that I am just interested in trying. Yes, it will be extremely difficult and given the time of year with the holidays will make it even more difficult. Let’s just see what happens!

Can I do it too?? :-)
I've been thinking about doing the same thing.
Yes, lets give it a try together! It would be motivational for me!
Great! I'll start in the morning.
