She said it was too sweet. As a kid, I would think she is giving up the best part!!!<br /><br />Now guess who scraps off the icing, that is if I eat any cake.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03266546931345084520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-72807939639928289212012-04-15T19:31:12.241-04:002012-04-15T19:31:12.241-04:00Diane ~ I bet you feel great after cutting out all...Diane ~ I bet you feel great after cutting out all of the junk food and isn't strange how you really don't like the taste of sweet anymore. I really do think the body knows. Once you start feeding it healthy foods, it wants more. ~ PeggyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872444343533261864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-65173836806843561392012-04-15T18:57:05.919-04:002012-04-15T18:57:05.919-04:00I used to eat a lot of sweet stuff, but I have alw...I used to eat a lot of sweet stuff, but I have always enjoyed salty foods like the very bad potato chips, corn chips, nachos, etc. (but now French fries) even more. I haven't eaten excess sugar for years now and if I do eat something very sweet I really don't enjoy it. <br /><br />I do love chocolate, but buy the 85% dark with only 9 grams of sugar in the whole 100gm bar. I eat one strip (10/bar) per day. That satisfies me. I used to love milk chocolate and bought a bar last year. I could hardly eat it because it was so sweet. As for the other bad stuff - chips - I buy a bag once in awhile. If I buy nachos, I get whole grain. <br /><br />What I really love is fruit, and I make a fruit smoothie every day with several different fruits, plain yogurt, carrot juice, almond milk, parsley, alfalfa sprouts and sometimes cucumber. It's wonderfully satisfying both for the taste and for being filling.Diane Stephensonhttp://diane-stephenson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-44208919125505135432012-04-15T17:07:24.090-04:002012-04-15T17:07:24.090-04:00It's always amazing to me how much we struggle...It's always amazing to me how much we struggle with food, especially food that's not good for us. It's good to know I'm not alone with my sugar cravings. I do have to re-emphasize that reading "Overcoming Sugar Addiction" by Karly Randolph Pitman really did help me to understand what was going on in my body when I ate sugar and then craved more. I strongly recommend it if you have this same issue. <br /><br />All the best and thanks for stopping by ~ PeggyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872444343533261864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-68467095779742521912012-04-15T16:35:49.486-04:002012-04-15T16:35:49.486-04:00I'm a chocoholic big-time and I'm just beg...I'm a chocoholic big-time and I'm just beginning the dietary transition from processed foods to whole foods and it's not easy!

Just for your information, the German people are also having problems with sugar and you can see it on their hips and upper body. I really enjoyed your blog and had to laugh because I cut down my sugar content last year and went through some heavy withdrawal, but I stuck with it. Now I am fighting staying the course and not slipping back to where I was. <br />Your blog was not only entertaining but also very helpful to me because it encourage me to keep on. <br />Thanks.<br />Ciao,<br />PatriciaPat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-36418673106726521052012-04-14T19:54:11.385-04:002012-04-14T19:54:11.385-04:00Peggy - from another Peggi - I'm with you.

Whenever I'm depressed or sick, this is what I want, so I limit it to those times only because I can't stop eating it.<br />Strawberries are certainly a good choice - juicy, sweet, tangy and healthy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311305166391446029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-28100722128508066762012-04-14T13:56:24.837-04:002012-04-14T13:56:24.837-04:00Hi Karly ~ Thanks for dropping by and I do hope ot...Hi Karly ~ Thanks for dropping by and I do hope others who have intense sugar cravings treat themselves to "Overcoming Sugar Addiction"--a true eye opener.
