I have not had sugar for 48 hours.
I've fallen in love with Diet Coke with Lime and Diet Cherry Coke, and now I'm getting off sugar. Aren't you proud of me?!

1. I've done the opposite
Actually, I try to drink as much water as possible, but if I drink a soft drink, I'm not drinking anything with Nutrasweet. I just don't think it does a body good. First it breaks down to methanol (wood alcohol) and then it breaks down to formaldehyde.

2. Good going... I'm trying to do the same
and your sig pic reminds me of the pictures I saw in the Daily News this morning... Bill was photographed asking for low-fat frozen yogurt at a store upstate where he lives :) He looks like he really lost weight in the last month.

4. Get this book. My best friend wrote it.
She does a great job explaining sugar, caffeine and dairy addictions.

3. Holy crap!
How are you still alive?? Salt is easy to give up. Sex - if I'm trying to prove a point (or punish stupid boyfriend), but sugar????

I question your sanity.

6. Good for you!
I have been completely off of sugar for over a year now, and it feels great! I used to dump at least three spoonfulls of sugar in a cup of coffee umpteen times a day. I use splenda for my coffee now. If I am forced to use sugar I can't hardley stand it anymore.

7. I've been a diet pop drinker for about a year now.
But everyday around 3PM, I need a cookie or some chocolate.

The best part is, nobody in my house drinks my pop now.
