I don't use sugar in coffee or tea, and I already drink diet soda (yes, another bad habit I need to give up), so it's really a matter of giving up sugary junk food.

I just couldn't make that mental model.
When I gave up coca cola nearly a year ago it was easier than I thought. I don't tend to eat much candy either. drinking lots of juice seemed to slake my thirst for the sweet stuff, and carbonated water for the prickly texture of coke.
Good luck with your sugar fast :)

12. Did it myself nine days ago, so my question is |
|
Isn't the sensation of ants crawling all over your flesh interesting? And how's about the migraine-with-a-vengeance headaches? Aces, huh? I think the hallucinations where my dead mother tells me I shame her, though, are my favorite side effect.
Hang in there, it'll subside by Friday.

17. You haven't gotten the shakes, have you? |
|
When some people cold-turkey sugar, they get a bit woozy and jittery.
Anything like this going on?
Good for you, pagerbear -- :toast: (sugar-free, of course)

23. I usually ingest mine |

although it stands up to heat quite well, and thus could be cooked in a spoon prior to injection. :)

19. Is this a Lenten or a dietary mission you're on? |
|
That is, are you back on sugar in 39 days, or is this a permanent change in your life?
Best of luck. The sugar monkey is a mutha.

22. I wouldn't call myself devout |
|
....although I used to be a big ol' church queen. It's more a change I need to make and I'm using Lent as an reason to do it. Not to mention making myself accountable to all of you fine people!

27. Day 2 without recreational sugar. Ask me anything! |
|
Day 1 was an astounding success! I've lost 30 lbs., my teeth are whiter, women find me more attractive (what a shame I'm attracted to men!), my job performance has improved, I have a positive cash flow of $8,000/mo., and no more ring around the collar! All with no money down!
