    I am a big sweet eater too. But once in a while I have a piece of chocolate to ease the craving. Although I agree to some of the comments sugar is addictive in all kinds of ways. It is hard. I recently cut a lot of sugar out of my diet. I go to dried fruit or fresh to take care of the sugar crave. Then I either take a walk or workout at home. That helps me a lot. Eating jello helps too. Hope those help:)

    Sugar is my go-to as well and I know it's an addiction for me. Lately, I've been asking myself what might come to the forefront if I bypassed it? I've kicked it before - takes me five days to not crave it or jones for it - and then I've allowed myself small portions here and there. But, lately I wanted to find out what my life and health (physical and emotional) would be without my go-to. I'm now at the 8 day point of being sugar free meaning no table sugar, honey, jam, desserts, etc. And fruit tastes amazing now. I honestly have ZERO idea how long this will go but I can't dabble in the stuff easily. "Some" for me equals MORE. I know there are no easy answers but it's an idea that, so far for me, is really worth trying. I know I'll have sugar again. That's a no-brainer for me. But I want to see where this current journey takes me. I sincerely hope your big stressors ease soon. All the best. :smile:
