...cutting out sugar. Oh yes, this chocoholic is giving up refined sugar for a while... I even went to my favorite Jewish bakery this afternoon and got some lemon hamantashen. I can't tell you how much "stuff" I've eaten today! I would be so embarrassed. lol

I have already warned DH that the next 2 weeks may not be a happy place for me. :-(

don't cut back the sugar suddenly tho... those withdrawls are aweful. allow yourself one sweet per day still or cravings will come too quick and too forceful. My New Years resolutions: 1)Read the Bible DAILY!!! No matter what!! even if only a couple verses. 2) Make it thru school. 3) start exercising again--I have plans on skating every Sunday after Church 4) "Cut back" some on sugars and coffee 5) Praise God for a much better year and let Him guide me.

I started doing that a few years ago, I never to to sleep without reading my Bible, at least some verses, it is great. I will too follow your advise on sugar, I like mostly brown unrefined sugar.

Hi Teri, I cut out processed sugar from my diet about 12 years ago as I discovered it was a major cause of my migraines. Occasionally I will have a sweet, especially at Christmas time, but mostly I don't even miss it because the price i pay for weakness is a totally lost day, laid up in bed in agony. It's a great cure for a sweet tooth.
But I don't go without as there are many really good diabetic products available and I use liquid sacharine to make home made sweets, I can't use aspartame based sweeteners because aspartame is derived from sugar. I'm also allergic to milk so can only have unsweetened Soy. It's a way of life that i now just accept rather than suffer.

As for New Year's resolutions, I don't make any as I consider my whole life is one huge learning and self improvement journey, so each day is battle enough. :-}}
Hugs n blessings and Happy New Year, Meg(Anne)

I don't usually make resolutions because I don't stick to them, but this year I resolve to have my Christmas shopping, and sewing projects done by the first week in December so I can enjoy the holiday activities.
