Hi David,

thanks again for all your wonderful info and support for us stop being sweet aspirants. I stopped the sugar on Nov 1st, have had a few days slipped (oops) but a little determination now to get back on with it! It’s so true, the longer you go without it the easier it becomes to say no. You get out of the habit, but I find I really have to watch out for emotional triggers - actually acknowledging that I feel upset, excited, uncertain etc, rather than just drowning those feelings with some sweet fix to “feel good”! Yeah, it starts with the decison to stop and before you make that decision certain then you won’t do it, you won’t stop. I’m feeling really good and my moods are better, more even, my energy is better and I’m not hating myself all the time for being weak! It’s great for your self esteem knowing you’re doing something about the problem instead of letting it run your life. I am finding chromium supplements are helpful too for stabilising blood sugar .
