I am, and I try to abstain for sweets and rarely eat grains. It`s the only way I don`t binge. That said, it`s been a loooooooooooooong process for me, with many (x1000000.....) attempts. I ***think*** I can still have some, sometimes, but not too much and not often. I had some today and will see how it goes in the next days. It is definitly easier for me to abstain completly from sugar (and reduce grains to a max) then to try managing it. Those who say it`s mental are NOT addicted to that stuff! It`s totally physiological,. for me at least.

I love all the sweets and I have cut them out otherwise I O.D, majorly. It as if I have no shut off valve. For my sweet spot I go for a Yoplait whips they have all kinds of sweet flavors. It hits the spot without the over indulgence.

You...O.D...majorly...so meaning you've had to go the hospital to detox and such?

I was told that I am a carb addict. I tried the carbohydrate addicts diet, but it SO did not work. Lets try to help motivate each other.
