    Sugar is my ally sometimes and my enemy the next. Keeps me going when my blood sugar's low, but doesn't help the belly fat, Not one bit! Good luck everyone with your no chocolate diets. I think it's a bad idea to just ward it off at one time. Try just picking one day a week and save a chocolate "miniature" for that day. It's like a little gift to yourself for trying so hard. It has worked for me!

    Uuggghh! I started off on here cutting out all sweets and chocolate, apart from one treat at the weekend and it was actually not nearly as hard as I thought.....however, in the last couple of weeks I've lost it and have started eating more sweets than I really want!! I made fudge and scottish tablet for christmas pressies (both have MASSIVE amounts of sugar in them and I have to give it all away today as I've munched on it continuously since I made it....despite telling myself that I'm not having any more....I just keep going back! Once Christmas is out of the way I really have to just get back on the horse! It's not making me feel so good!!


    Ditto...I do all the baking for Christmas at my parent's with the whole family...so I've been surrounded by sweets lately...but once the holidays are over...

    Yep, especially milk chocolate. Oh and I do like beer and whiskey and that's completely sugar. Alcohol is fat free though, so there is some solace in that.



    Whiskey and hard liquors do not have any sugar or carbohydrates.....

    WOW, i feel sometimes after eating good all day, working out hard, and almost ready to go to sleep, something in my brain forces me to find something sweet!!!! I even tried to keep fruit in my room "oranges"etc... but i still find those cookies and candy!

    Sugar, oh my word! My best friend and my worst nightmare. Whenever I have a really bad day, I crave sugar. Anything will do the trick. Chocolate, tootsie dots, hard candy, plain sugar in my coffee. All I need is that lovely sweetness, followed by that incredible high. And then, when it's already way past being too late to stop, it hits you. You feel dreadful. You feel dirty. You feel guilty. You feel like a big fat cow. Oh how I hate being so dependent on SUGAR. I think it is horridly evil!

    YES! That would be the reason I am trying to loose the weight, I am a sucker for sweets and fried food! Holidays have not been easy, but if I can make it thru this weekend, it will be smooth sailing from here! When I go grocery shopping now the only thing that is bought sweet wise is sugar for my husbands tea. I think my body is in shock, so is my sister when she comes over and can't find anything to snack on lol
