Ok, enough already. We're well passed Christmas and I'm still eating leftover chocolates. In fact, as soon as I get in the office in the morning I scarf down two or three of them just to start my day. YIKES! I need to get off the sugar and I know myself well enough that I can't do this alone.

Anyone with me?

    You still have leftover chocolate from Christmas! High five! You did good!

    You did do good!

    All things in moderation for me. I've done the elimination thing before - it backfired when I got to goal. Now I allow myself one treat every day. I find I'm being more selective. For me, single serve sizes help.

    Sweets are my weakness...I had spiraled around the holidays and was having all of it whenever I wanted. So, January 1 (I know...so predictable) I went cold turkey off sugar. I did keep fruit in my diet and didn't worry too much about sugar in whole foods. It only took a couple of days and now I'm ok resisting it OR having piece of chocolate here or there.

    I know many can have it in their diet in moderation and I can too sometimes. BUT when I've been overindulging for a bit, going off of them 100% works well!

    The chocolate isn't actually mine....I haven't got any in my house - it's in a candy dish right in front of me at work. They give out boxes of Turtles to their employees every Christmas and there are a couple dozen (yes, 24) boxes leftover - which is now strategically placed at the front desk (where I sit all day) for our visitors to help themselves, and anyone else who walks by, etc. I did try 'just one' and on occasion I'm successful in savoring the just one to make it last as long as possible. I figure if I commit to being sugar-free (except for fruit) then my colleagues and visitors can finish them off and get them out of my sight! Sugar addiction is a real experience and for me it's going in that direction. Sigh.
