    Sugar is so sweet and tasty!

    I'm almost done with my 1 week detox (no sugar, no caffeine, no wheat and no dairy) and the only thing I miss is the sugar. I have a bag of Lindor's truffles waiting for me, and some fudge in the freezer. I'm going to have to be good when I'm done detoxing though, or the weight I lost will just wander right back.

    Sugar keeps me sweet. You wouldn't like me when I'm sugar free!

    Actually, I'm not all that sweet even when I have a ready sugar supply, but when I don't have one, I should come with a warning label. Beware of dog. Just replace that last word with the female appropriate term!

    I love sugar. I tried giving it up at the beginning of my journey and... well, I was so nasty and witchy I could barely stand being around myself. I figure I'd rather have some sugar in my life than to live my life so grouchy no one wants to be around me.

    Sugar is in literally everything. It's like crack. Unless you grow your own food or know it's actually organic food, then you'll be getting refined sugars/HFCS.

    If I could use a needle and pump sugar right into my blood stream, I probably would....I have been over doing on the sweets lately and over doing it on carbs in general.

    I am completely addicted to sugar. It is hard but I will be able to kick the habit.

    I do not consume high fructose corn syrup. It makes me sick whenever I have it. I make sure the items I consume don't have it in it (and yes, you can find sugary treats without it!).

    I agree the cards are a killer...I enjoy all kinds of bread and pasta, all of it is so great. Sometime I find myself eating the bread from my meal and nothing else and throwing it away. its so sad! Bless us all!

    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!!

    I'm not a sugar-tooth at all. I don't worry about sugar addiction, but... I kind of have a cheese addiction >.>

    I could srsly eat a wedge of brie in one sitting. It's that easy for me and I'd still want more!

    As to sweets-cravings, I did little swaps. Instead of fruity candy like gummy bears and jolly ranchers, I would crack open a 50 calorie cup of Mott's Country Berry applesauce with no sugar added (sufficiently sweet and fruity). Instead of eating milk chocolate, caramel, etc., I would have 1 square of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has loads of anti-oxidants and lacks a great deal of dairy-fat that milk chocolate has, but I do NOT overdo it (even though it's easy to overindulge!). Instead of sugar, I use honey. I heard that agave nectar is very good but I have never tried it!

    Instead of soda, I drink flavored teas. I've been off of soda for 3 weeks now and I don't miss that stuff!

    I have to use a lot of willpower to resist cravings, and it's working so well. If any of you are having trouble, try swapping out one thing at a time: soda for flavored vitamin water or tea, solid dark chocolate instead of milk or filled chocolates, fruit instead of fruit candy, honey or agave nectar instead of sugar!
