Hubby is running the garbage disposal as we speak. It's TORTURE! I tried to block his way, but he shoved me aside, like an old worn-out shoe.
ARGH!!!!

Ha! Bev, you are such a drama queen! You crack me up! 
Good luck dropping your sugar. Maybe Ruchie will have some good tips for you.

I don't eat it. Period. Even with the prednisone. Dairy is my downfall right now. And it's not upsetting my tummy. I crave it with the pred. My bod can't absorb calcium well right now so it CRAVES dairy like it's going out of style. (There is SOME sugar in dairy...but I don't eat any processed or refined sugar. I hardly use sugar substitutes either!)
The only sugar I get is in fruit and in my yogurt and cereal. My cereal has 8g per cup and my yogurt has 8g per serving as well. (The yogurt sugar is from the fruit mostly though). I even cut down my fruit intake to minimize the natural sugar my bod gets.
I can't say for sure if it helps in the losing weight depart....it hasn't helped me....but it helps most ppl!
You can do it Bev! I did it cold turkey--you can too! (Btw, I have "relapses" so if you do too, don't feel bad!)
Let me know how I can help and what your game plan is!
Love,
Ruchie

Cold turkey, baby! It's the way I quit smoking and the way I quit my men!

Bev you poor thing!!!  Even though you feel depressed about no sugar you sure can make me laugh.
Good luck with the sugar. It won't be easy. My down fall is hard candy and after last night I don't want any for along time!! There is something in hard candy that causes me to bloat and hurt my stomach. All I had was six life savers.

Maybe you're swallowing lots of air when you're eating the candy?? That can cause tummy troubles....
I know what you mean though...I'm a sucker for jolly ranchers

Never thought of swallowing too much air. That can be it. I also think the food coloring can cause problems. One of my children gets hyperactive and angery after eating foods with msg and red and yellow food coloring.
Like some of you I don't eat sugar everyday - only crave it during PMS. I have PMS right now and doing my best to avoid sugar at the suggestion of my GYN to help with my symptoms.
