this worked for me, you can give it a shot. First tell yourself you're allowed to have sugar. If you want a chocolate bar it's ok. Don't obsess about it. Cut down gradually. I used to put 3 heaping teaspoons of sugar in my tea. I cut back to 2, then switched to brown sugar and cut back to 1, then to a level one and said that's good enough. I still ate pie, or cake but I took a smaller piece and ate it slow. The thing is if I wanted a chocolate bar I said go ahead call a cheat day and I did. After awhile I told myself well, I can have it but I don't want it that bad. If I did I had one, no guilt. Then after awhile everything started to taste too sweet and I didn't enjoy it as much. If you don't like it you're not going to have it. I also worked out with weights, and liked my results so that might have helped. I also ate a lot of good stuff 'cause I would get real hungry, again if I got hungry I ate. I can't tolerate that starving mentality.
