Good job on a week of it, Allan! How about a handful of nuts with a couple squares of high % dark chocolate? (e.g. Endangered Species , Dark Chocolate (88%), 3-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12): Amazon.com: Grocery & Gourmet Food).

Sugar Free Roll Call

Couldn't figure what was going on with the roll call: Allan on Day 9, LC MIA, and nobody else.

I'm going to knock on the right door now.

Good luck with your struggle - I went SF years and years ago, and really, after a while one doesn't miss it at all. I once walked into a shop where they make handmade chocolate, had a look around and walked out, empty handed.

Hi, Dream

I don't miss it either but I don't want everyone here to hate me when I say that ! It really is a taste you can get over and it is so weird how unpleasant it becomes. I don't think I could even enjoy a Rolo now and it used to be my favorite candy.

Do you avoid the processed foods that contain sugar? I do for the most part but have found that a few really useful things that I don't eat in large quantities do not seem to be available here w/o sugar and sometimes I'm just too lazy to make my own.

I feel ambivalent when I look at wine now, too, I'm very happy to say. My goal is to be actually turned off by it!

I'm hanging on to my coffee vice, though !

NoS, we'll brainwash them yet - after Halloween and the Ladybyrd's b'day.

I try to avoid factory-made foods as much as possible, but buy things such as mayo and tinned tomatoes. Make my own chutneys, and, wait for it, jam: I love making jam, but they're mainly gifts. Got loads of figs on my two trees this year, might make fig jam, and I also want to try making olive jam - those are the only jams I eat. So I'm not too rigid, but even fig jam stays in the fridge for months at a time - that's a Sunday breakfast treat every few months.

Giving up sugar in my coffee was the the worst - at the time I gave up sugar, I worked for a parastatal, and the canteen made the best coffee I have ever had in my entire life. I avoided coffee for about two weeks, then tried it without sugar, but with a bit of milk, and loved it. The milk gives it just enough sweetness for me (I loathe the taste and smell of fresh milk, but a few drops in my coffee is fine.)

Don't know how much coffee you drink a day, but the one or two cups I have a day will certainly not kill me.

You're all awesome! I am not going to give up this fight and I know I will eventually win--Allan, great job on Day 9! You're rockin'! And I am right here with you-- just a few days behind. Yesterday I went shopping with my eldest daughter-- we had a rare day alone and we went out for coffee and c***., actually to celebrate 60 days without al. Next time, at 100 days, I will choose another way to celebrate-- but I felt like eating cake. Then today I ate some Halloween candy on the road! So tomorrow I'm starting again on track. I hate to keep starting over-- and to keep admitting I've f'ed it up-- but I do want to quit. sooo... see you in the morining!!
