It makes me feel like I don't have as much willpower as others and therefore I'm not "as good" as others. This is something I've been struggling with for a long, long time. It's so comforting to hear that someone else struggles with indulgence, too. Thank you for this post.

You said many things I struggle with too. I love sweets and if i have one then i want another and so on. I also seem to work out and then focus on treats or rewards in food;/ looking forward to learning more with you and following your blog. I have yet again started my weightloss goal for the new year and I hope this time it works. I think blogging about it will help keep my focus and put more pressure on me to keep it up. Wow!

I've had several times where I've looked down at the cookie container and saw that I ate about a third. I totally understand the sugar addiction. No matter how stuffed I am there's always room for brownies and ice cream, cake, cookies. :( 12 cookies?

No matter what I do, it is always the sugar that gets me. In brownies, in cereals, in cookies (oh, god, especially cookies), in chocolate, in pies, cakes... I can never be satisfied with what "portion" of it should be. I have been successful at eliminating sugar in the short-term-- like in 30 days stretches, but honestly, I don't know if I could do it for a year, let alone for life. Props to you and good luck! Hi,

Like Whole Wheat noodles ect. but I totally felt the same way you did. So in control, my thoughts didn't revolve around my next fix. ha ha. I never felt better in my life. Now if I could of just held onto it. I started craving things like the crunch of cereal, or chips. If I had held on and put more thought into satisfying that I would still be on it and feel great. Good luck to you and thank you for being so honest with us. We are all trying to figure out what works best for us.

It helps to validate my issues with food. I find that if I have sugar, it sets the tone for the entire day. I can never only just have 1 cookie or 1 piece of cake. Also, when I eat sugar, I notice I'm never satisfied. It's like I have this hunger that never gets satieted. I too, am trying to give it up. So far, unsuccessfully, as I'm sitting here drinking my latte as we speak. Congratulations on 17 days! Thank you for this blog. Hi there,

Sun, 09 Jan 2011 11:00:27 +0000 http://www.myallnaturalweightloss.com/?p=1736#comment-6754 Short tiime reader; first time commenter! Just wanted to say how much enjoy your blog & that your issues with sugar sound just like mine. When I am on sugar I binge, the hiding food & eating it in secret till you want to vomit kind. I can't moderate my sugar intake because once I get a little it does become an obsession. It's all I can think about. I have gone weeks with sweets only to allow myself one little piece of candy or cake, & pow! Next thing I know I'm at the store stocking up for another binge. Today, I had a bit of a set-back, just a little because tomorrow is a new day, when I realized at breakfast the pumpkin puree I bought for my yogurt was actually pumpkin pie filling... but it's what I had & it had cost money, so I used it anyway. You can imagine where this ended up. I was fine at first, but during the day the sweetness crawled all over me, constantly reminding me how delicious it was, & I ended up eating the rest of it this evening - I even started in on it while dinner was cooking. That's pretty much a whole pumpkin pie in a day, just without the crust. Oh well, I have a headache to show for it & at least it's not around to tempt me any more>_< Anyhoo, thanks for sharing & good luck! Seventeen days is awesome!

It's sugar that always ends up doing me in in the end. I do the same thing where I decide I can have one cookie or whatever it may be and then it turns in to five, six, seven.....cookies. I have decided to just completely give up sugar unless it is natural, like in fruit. It's just better for me that way and after a couple weeks, I'm finding I totally don't miss it.
