2014 - the year I quit my sugar addiction!

I have also resolved to break my sugar addiction this year. As long as it's not around I feel strong. But when I see it...I gotta have it!

Sugar consumption is only part of my weight management difficulties. There are many things that contribute to my excess weight but I believe if I can break the sugar habit, that will be one giant leap in the right direction.

I look forward to reading this discussion and finding ways to help me help myself. I also hope that one day I can offer support or advice to those struggling with the same sugar addiction as I. Thanks everyone--

I am joining you. There are about 5 newbies or returning "pals". Is there a way we could just talk among our selves sometime.??

Where on My Fitness Pal can I do this? For some reason I am struggling to understand this web site. The encouragement for emotional eating is a big problem for me.

Click on "groups" at the top of the page (next to "message boards") then enter "say no to sugar" in the search bar. It'll be the first group on the list, this is a group specifically set up by people with the same weakness for the sweet stuff. Then just click "join group".
Good luck!

Ok everyone, I have had enough sugar to last me a life time. I am starting my New Year's goal early, giving up sugar. I plan on continuing to eat fruit and drinking wine. :-)

This is more of a lifestyle change for me rather than a weight loss tool. Anyone want to join me?

I started in September, Happy to join you.
Like someone else mentioned I call it highly refined carbohydrates - Junk food basically, added sugar and stuff made of white flour products as well.
