Yes, Absoltely we would be thrilled if you joned us. and we will give you all the suppot you ned This is so true about sugar. I have almost cut out all sugar, and I feel much bette I can so tell when I eat sugar, and for a few minutes I get a sugar high,and then such a downer. I don't like that feeling. I have cut out pop, juices, cakes, cookies, all kinds of sweets and it makes me feel better. I do have a peppermint hard candy quite often becuase peppermint is god for your tmmy, and that is something I need towork on taking away, and substituting something else. Any ideas? When Dave got real sick, and was in intensive care for 9 weeks, my sister sayd with us,a nd I supported her by going with her to the hospital from morning til night. It was the most horrible thing we ever had to go through, and still we lost Dave. they came from Anchorage, Alaska, and were back here maybe 9 months before he got so sick with a perferated colon, and died. He and my sister were so close to us. We went o vacations, etc. together. He had just retired and then what? But I knew my place ws with my sister, and with my IBS, I knew I could not go to the hospital and have problems with D so I cut out so much bad food at that time, and lost so much. It was a bad way to lose, but it was not all bad, as I needed to lose But what a bad year we had. I have not gone back to eating sugar. Now, don't get me wrong. I will once in a while have angel food cake and that will be a problem for me, as that is my favorite, but I will do it We all will, and we all can This is a losing game, and if we try, we will win on this so yes, come along and join us. We can all do it together. I give you all the support I can good luck to you all Hugs, DeeDee

You are so right, Dee. There are hidden sugars in everything!! Even bread! You just have to become an AVID label reader!! I have been scouring over labels in the grocery store for years. It is truly amazing that sugar seems to be in everything. I hate it when they use all those fancy words for sugar, hoping that you won't realize that it's actually the same, and sometime WORSE! Like: "all natural cane sugar", or "sweetened with pure fruit juice". That really irritates me. It's ALL sugar!!
My rule of thumb is only shop on the outskirts of the grocery store. You will mostly find whole foods there. If you are craving something sweet...eat a piece of fruit. It's amazing how, when you are not eating sugar EVERYTHING tastes so sweet!! It's awesome. I never realized how SWEET a sweet potato is! It's wonderful with a little soy butter and a little sprinkle of cinnamon. Only 2 days off sugar, and things are already tasting sweeter to me.
Cool
