Boy, do I feel your pain, LindaJane!!
I have been battling the bulge since my last child was born. That was 18 months ago, and I can't keep using the "I just had a baby" excuse. For me, the one thing that puts weight on me faster than anything else is SUGAR! It's also the one thing I CRAVE. When I go longer than a few days without it, it's ALL I THINK ABOUT!!
I have tried to give it up several times, but I just can't do it. It's wierd...like a drug or something. Anyway, I gave it up once before for two weeks and I lost 5 pounds. Then I started eating it again. It is frustrating. Why couldn't it be something easy to give up that makes me chubby, like carrots.
Also, a lot of my IBS symtpoms seemed to improve too. Like the bloating and gas, and constipation. Sugar is known to slow your peristalsis. Supposedly it's like valium to your intestines. Maybe you should try giving it up and see what happens...HEY - maybe we could do it together. I think I might be able to do it if I had someone doing it with me!! That way, we could suffer together 
Anyone else wanna join?!
