Well, I know a few of us have talked about it...now let's DO IT!!! 
I'm tired of being fat, bloated and gassy! Those are just disgusting combinations. So, let's give up sugar starting tomorrow (Thursday)!! If I wait any longer I will never do it!
So - everybody gorge yourselves on your favorite sugary treats tonight, so tomorrow we can start fresh, and by this time next week we will be thinking clearer, have much more energy, and our tummies will be looking flatter!!
WOOHOO!!!  Who's in?!?!

I already told you!NO you can't make me and I won't do it!!!lol
I actually don't have a problem with cutting out sugar.I don't eat much anyway because it does give me stomach cramps.I LOVE sweet deserts but they just about kill me!
I'm not sure where I can cut back but I will also try.
I don't have a problem with my weight right now(total denial)I actually think I'm still losing cause I hardly eat anything these days. My tummy has been acting up lately so forgoing food just seems easier.I know I know small meals, safe snacks.Right now even that is too much effort!
So no more sugar huh?
If anything I'll be your cheering section! GO GIRLS!!!!!
Tomorrow right?

Ok, so far, so good! No sugar today at all.
I have decided that if I start craving sugar (which actually I have not...YET), I will eat a piece of fruit. Peaches are in season. That should be good!
I'm actually already starting to feel better - believe it or not!! My mood has improved, and I have more energy. Also, my belly has not hurt today..and it's not as bloated.
I guess I'm alone in this, so wish me luck. I'll let you know how it's going over the next few weeks

I wish you lots of luck!! Sugar doesnt typically bother me and I crrrrrave it! Plus I feel like sugars the only thing that I can hang on to that I used to eat and can still eat. Thus you are a much braver person than I am!! Good luck and keep us updated!!

Fancymom, are you able to tolerate a lot of fruits? Or do you peel/chop/deseed/cook them?
Just curious. Between my bladder problems and my bowel problems, I don't really tolerate many fruits, which is part of the reason I'm having such difficulty giving up sugar! When I'm craving sweet, all I can eat are canned pears or blueberries (mixed with cereal!)

I am just now reding this, and it is Thursday, but no problem with me. Absolutely, I will go sugar free. I am ready
I was not arond yesteday as my ssiter came and we went to the zoo. Had a wonderful time
Had a bad flareup befoe she came. don't have no idea why. I was so careful what I ate, but sometimes I think that is when it hits. Drives me crazy, and for a while wondered if we could even go. but i ened up taking three imodium,and it worked
I get so frustrated when this happens for no reason. Does anyone know if maybe sometimes this happens with no explanation?
Then it makes me real nervous again, and I don't want to leave the house
Anyay, count me in for no sugar I am ready
Hugs, DeeDee

Hey Fen!
The only fruits I really have a problem with are apples, and oranges. Especially apples...they send me to the bathroom almost immediately!!!
My best tolerated ones are the more alkaline fruits, like bananas and plums. Also, I seem to tolerate peaches and pears pretty good too. I have several options for some good sweet fruits to curb my cravings!
