I've been deliberating on making this step for about 5 years now (I've heard that white sugar can cause/increase depression in people susceptible) but never thought I could make the jump. Still not sure how long it will last but I'm happy I've at least done this much (and proved to myself it can be done even if it is short-term and just helps reset my sugar cravings). Thanks for the encouragement! :) Lynette - I can understand that.

I have been praying to have my tastebuds changed.. and for specific cravings to just go.. this may sound weird but I cant make such changes without Gods help. I need to have a brain renewal first. Congrats again.. lets see how it goes.. I reckon winter is the hardest time and at those hormonal times.. like I keep telling you , you are such an inspiration.. !~ What a great idea and a strong lady to start such a challenge.

My problem was I was out of control and had to do something drastic to try and reduce the cravings. Thankfully I drink my tea black, no sugar (don't drink coffee). Wendy - Thanks. :-) Dev - thanks for the encouragement. And thanks for the heads up on the no sugar challenge. Katrina - yeah, I've been thinking about that and how to go about reintroducing fruit without kicking off my addiction again. Will have to play it by ear I think. Been hanging out for an orange!

I just can't have coffee without it. I’ve cut back on my sugar quite a bit, but I don’t think can go without all together. I just can’t have coffee without it.
