I forget where I read that white sugar was more addictive than crack. And no, I'm not kidding. I got off sugar for a few months for awhile, but I always go back to my white devil master. Whenever I go back to sugar, it causes me to want more, I salivate uncontrollably, and since everyone around me is eating it anyway, I usually give in. I even got to a point where I hated the taste of it, but knew I had to have it. I don't drink soda and haven't for over three years now. But I still get suckered into eating sweets on a regular basis. My favorite is dark chocolate. But I do want out. I eat mostly nuts and fruits and some vegetables, stir fries, etc. I eat some fish now and then. I try to stay away from anything that will bring me back to that addiction. Get it out of the house. Don't ever buy it again. If you have it one more time, you could become addicted again. I'm not sure how addictive alcohol is, but I think sugar is the same deal. Even when I eat excessive fruits, I tend to keep eating them. It's impossible to cut out all sugar, but if you can, stick to fruit sugar, from whole natural fruits and limit it substantially. Throw your bag of white sugar in the garbage. Triage your home. Drink water instead of soda. It is the only way. At least for me. Try it out.
