Thanks Elixer. I am not so concerned about my weight. It is for health. Sugar is very bad for our health and very addictive. (Artificial sweetners have been linked with cancer).
I have a particular weakness for suger. On top of the addiction, I also find saying "no thanks" difficult in certain social situations, because I might offend or disappoint people.
