[…] but not when it comes to refined sugar. At least not yet and maybe never. Â I’ve learned that I can go out for ice cream with my children without having a nervous breakdown. Or we can now stay home and make our own […]

I wanted to say thanks for the comments. (Sorry, I know I’m a little slow to respond but I appreciate them so much!)

CoriRenee – I believe I told you this on SP but you are clearly a strong person. I’ve been there replacing my dinner with ice cream. I still do that sometimes but it’s no longer sugar. The other day it was crackers and cheese. As you know this is about the journey!

Liimu – Wow. Thanks for sharing your experiment sometimes I think of trying moderation but I’m just too scared I’ll go back to where I started. I love that phrase “one is too many and a thousand never enough”. I’ve never heard it.

Man, you have hit it right on the head. I’ve been sugar-free for a year now, myself. I had given it up beginning in 2005, then decided to give it a try while on Martha’s Vineyard and it was back to the races. Not worth it. I don’t ever want to detox off sugar again. Never. It’s just not an option for me. It helps that I am a recovering alcoholic, so I get the whole concept of one is too many and a thousand never enough.

Congrats on letting the moment pass without giving it to that awful siren’s song.

I think the pictures show the story. Brent looks like he loves gelato a little too much. Maybe he should start a detox program also.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading it – and I definitely have ALOT in common with you. I am an ex-addict — Drug addict that is – and I guess I never 2nd guessed my SWEET issues – I mean, I know I binge – but I can have just 2 or 4 or 6 servings, and save some for tomorrow – so I never thought of it as a ‘sugar addiction’ tho i know they exist!! Last Friday I bought 2 1/2 gallons on ice cream, and went thru them both, by myself – in 5 days … I never went over calories; etc (carbs – YES) but shoot, i was replacing my dinner with ICE CREAM!!!! I feel like I gained 10lbs – scared to weigh in and am hating myself… but not enuff to not buy more…

DAMN YOU SUGAR – SWEETS and TREATS!!

Jenni – you are an inspiration!!
