    I found since I was eliminating the heavy cream, I drank only 1 cup of coffee today, which is good as I really need to just totally eliminate that from my diet anyway.

    Heavy cream fail today. BUT...I only had one cup of coffee rather than the usual 6+, so maybe there was some success afterall. I hope to cut out both coffee and cream this month.

    I'll join in though I'm a little late. I'm just going to try logging meals. Been at it a couple days, but I'll start the count from today.
    April 3 - so far I got breakfast in, will revisit later on how the rest if the day goes

    Day 3 - started with a bite of cake then a bite of a cookie then another bite...

    Starting again immediately- not giving myself a pass for the rest of the day.

    I will start tomorrow. I am addicted to sweets. I plan to avoid adding sugar to my food. I will also stay away from junk food and get my sugar from fruit.

    Cooked foods. My digestive system is so messed up and cooked foods really bother me.

    Starting today till the end of April. No processed sugar/sweets. I'm having such an issue with binge stress eating. Any tips--please help!!! I'm desperate to cure my dangerous sugar addiction :(

    Sticking to no large portions and seeing results...so far.

    Personally, sugar isn't my thing but I have a good friend (British) who has been consistently losing her battle with a serious sugar addiction even though her doctor told her she's "pre-diabetic" and needs to cut way down. So I know it's a tough addiction to beat.

    We're trying to do a buddy thing. She calls me when she feels like she's on the way to a sugar binge and we try to work our way around it. Sometimes I talk her out of the house and over to mine or somewhere else. Sometimes we talk about things she can do wherever she is - activities or getting into a conversation with someone - to get her through it. But sometimes she doesn't call and...whoops! sugar!

    I think the main thing is to keep trying.

    You look pretty young in your profile photo. Great to try to get a handle on this sugar thing before you're 50 and pre-diabetic. :) Good for you!

    Late start with this challenge but my goal is to continue to eliminate sugar from my diet. I have up diet sodas January 2015 and felt great. However, I continued to use other artificial sweeteners, HFCS, and sugars into my system. I now use only pure liquid stevia and want to continue to avoid the artifical junk and sugars that just increase cravings.

    Everyday in every way, I am getting better and better.
