I was addicted to sugar too. Didn't know how I could ever be successful at losing. But in May my Dr told me I had diabetes. That was the kick in the pants I needed. I regret that it took something like diabetes to get me to take my eating habits seriously. I've cut out sugary junk foods from that day. No problem, no cravings. (Why couldn't I do that without the health threat?) I don't count calories but make good choices and make sure I get protein. My snacks are an apple in the afternoon and sf jello with cool whip in the evening. I drink Crystal Light all day. A treat is a Mt Dew on the weekend (maybe every other weekend. I LOVE Mt Dew! Hate the diet Mt Dew) I've lost 26 lbs and am hoping to hit 30 by the time I see the Dr again in November.
My good wishes to anyone struggling with weight issues. I love buying new clothes in smaller sizes and getting rid of the old!
