My addiction

I have an addiction.. to sugar. I LOVE IT! I eat pretty much everyday... candy, sugar on my cereal, desserts, ice cream etc... But I am finally listening to my good friend and my sister that sugar is the ENEMY. I have tried for 2 years to get to my ideal weight. The weight that my nutritionist and OB told me would be perfect for my height but no matter what I do, I can't break past the weight that is 15 lbs heavier than my ideal weight. I have moaned and groaned about this to anyone who will listen! I even prayed for a thyroid issue to explain why I coulnd't lose this weight. No such luck. I was negative. Dang!

One of my really good friends lost a bundle of weight and sizes last summer by cutting out sugar and whites -like white pasta, white bread, white tortiallas and moving over to wheats. (not enriched wheat but 100% wheat). And high fructose corn syrup which is pretty much in a ton of foods.

My sister told me this past weekend that she too was addicted to sugar but after 2 weeks of a cleansing diet she broke the addiction.

So, here I go. I am on day 3 of no sugar. Not even a skittle that I found on the floor of my van. Though I wanted to eat it, I threw it away. I am determined to break this curse I have on myself. But I'm listening up finally and I feel like this is the thing that is going to finally break it!

I am posting this here. Hold me accountable! I need it!
