Have you seen or heard of this book?
I just read most of it, and it really motivated to give up the hard
stuff: sugar. I do have a problem. I am quite possibly addicted to
sugar. All of it. Honey, cake, Twix, Starbursts, candy corn (my biggest
weakness.) You name it, I love it. Except Twizzlers. Ew. I can't do
Twizzlers. (sorry Dad.)
In her book, Sarah Wilson breaks down quitting sugar down into an 8-week
detox period, after which sugar can slowly be introduced back into the
diet. The purpose of quitting is to get sugar out of the system and no
longer have the cravings. The stuff is just bad for us and, really,
makes the highs higher and the lows lower. The first 2 of the 8 weeks
are really "gearing up" for quitting, but I've found I just need to do
it cold turkey. So, tomorrow is day 1! I'll report my progress and where
I may have messed up (I hope I don't though!) This blog will help keep
me accountable! So hold me to it! :) Wanna join me on the sugar-detox
journey? Buy the book at a store (I found it at Target) or on Amazon!
And ... wish me luck on the journey!

I've been thinking about you lately, and was happy to see a new post today. Sounds like a great way to get rid of sugar cravings. I look forward to hearing about your experience.
I am just now seeing this. I would love to know how it went because I have a serious sugar addiction, too. Candy corn is one of my biggest weaknesses! I had no idea we had that in common.
Getting caught up on your blog! Wow, let me know how this goes. I am also very addicted to sugar.
