FUN! I want to go back so bad. It's my heaven on earth.<br /><br />I know what you mean about the sugar. I was off of it last year for 5 months, only one cupcake a week. I was able to do that. But then I said the same thing, if I'm at a friend's house, or at a party, etc, etc. Then I fell off the wagon. It's hard, but you can do it. Remember how good you felt when you did it before! And yes, raisins are SO HORRIBLE! agh. Why do they do that to us?!Nicollehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144472105892524890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463361194706943677.post-69262019713740692142012-03-02T10:13:53.836-07:002012-03-02T10:13:53.836-07:00great post -- right down to the celery :)great post -- right down to the celery :)Naperville Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296122047332309181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463361194706943677.post-65987711140825666012012-03-02T06:00:53.447-07:002012-03-02T06:00:53.447-07:00I have been on and off the sugar for two decades. ...I have been on and off the sugar for two decades. I read all the books (Sugar Busters, Sugar Blues), went whole grain, when whole foods, went Macrobiotic, went Vegetarian, just never seem to settle anywhere permanently.<br /><br />Two years ago I pumped up my exercise and really watched the quality of my food and lost 30 pounds. Now half of it has crept back. Ugh! Sugar is not really my nemesis though. I'll eat a small slice of whatever I bake, but I'm not dangerous around it. I have a candy bowl at work that I don't even touch. It's mostly about the quality of my food and the quantity (too low) of fresh fruits and veggies. <br /><br />I feel your pain.Joan @ Debt of Gratitudehttp://debtofgratitude.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463361194706943677.post-43710747981271534792012-03-01T18:31:25.476-07:002012-03-01T18:31:25.476-07:00Oh Dana, it is such a tricky addiction isn't i...Oh Dana, it is such a tricky addiction isn't it?? I love Jen's comment about the spanx!! I have a bit of an addiction to salty things but enjoy the occasional sweets, too. Last year when I was working out a lot, I tracked my calories and found some foods that are healthy and reasonably low in calories. My new loves include greek yogurt (athenos strawberry is my fave), green leaf lettuce (stays very fresh in the fridge and has very few calories, but fills you up), very low sodium tuna, egg beaters and air popped popcorn. i am sure that Hawaii is quite an incentive for you!! keep us posted on your progress! hugs, cathyCathy M~(checkitoff)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03470783605176479831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463361194706943677.post-35331653150889556412012-03-01T13:59:47.812-07:002012-03-01T13:59:47.812-07:00Love this post.

(I don't have a scale at home.) Yesterday I broke my "no snacking in the evening" rule and had a handful of peanuts. As for the sweets, I'm not baking. That's the easiest way for me to avoid sugar. But then there are those last bags of chocolate chips in the cupboard...<br /><br />Many of us battle the sweet addiction.
