I use Stevia instead of sugar. It's natural and much better than normal sugar.

It's chocolate in any form for me. Pure chocolate is the hardest to resist, so I keep it out of the house. If it's here, I will devour it way faster than I should. But if I try to cut out all forms of chocolate, life with me gets very unpleasant. I used to get my daily fix from a small serving of chocolate ice cream, but it's getting harder to stop after my 1/2 cup.

Hi, my name is Mandy and I'm a sugar addict. I have been, forever. My parents used to joke about it when I was a teenager. It hasn't gotten any better.

I'm right there with you. Heaven help the man, or child, that gets between me and my sugar! Thats why I have to follow a low carb diet to have any chance of losing weight cuz I just can't eat it in moderation! I need a 12 step program.

I stopped with sugar twice, once for a year and once for about 6 months, for health reasons (but not to lose weight). The first 3 weeks are difficult, you get nasty cravings, but after that it stops. Actually, when I re-introduced it, I found some things intolerably sweet, and I still do so.

I go through spells where I just crave sugar and sweets, but honestly try and take my pasta away and I'll cut you!

I usually have small, naughty sweet snacks about for DH & son, and try to buy the stuff I don't like deliberately so I don't eat the lot myself. But I regularly test my will power, and alas fail miserably. For example, it was Pancake Day this week (aka Shrove Tuesday), and I rashly bought a jar of Nutella thinking I would resist.... I've just about eaten the LOT.

Diet pepsi just about runs in my veins - I couldn't do a day without it, either

I am with Nikki... I LOVE cakes and cookies and yummy baked goods. I have been trying to eat healthy, but this is my weakness too. Honestly tho, you have to give yourself a little break, because what fun is food that doesn't taste yummy?!?

I'm off sugar and have been since the first of the year...I try to stay under 15 grams of sugar a day...which is hardly anything. I can have really dark chocolate though (85% or higher) and I have a few squares of it and a few raw almonds...and it makes me happy!
