I'm about 130 pounds and I'm 5'5" or 5'6". So it's a healthy weight, but I feel like I'm on my way to diabetes with my sugar addiction. My brother was diagnosed with diabetes when he was younger than I am now.
I've quit sugar before--not fruits and such, but the rest. I felt fine, but eventually I thought I could have a little treat here and there and after more than a year without sugar, I caved. Now it's half of what I eat. Especially chocolate. I've quit sugar a couple of other times, but those haven't lasted.
I've tried having a sugar day, where I only had sugar one day per week, but it became a day I obsessed about and I'd eat myself silly on that day so that I felt sick. I'm going to quit again now, but I don't think I have the self control to stop for good. But I have to try.
What might help me was having someone do this with me. Anyone else out there who wants to quit? It would be great to have someone for support as we went through the same horror of giving up sugar.
