Out of control
When I voewed to give up sugar, I found it easy to not nibble between meals. Having restraint in one area strengthens me to say no in other areas,
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Yes, sugar is a huge gateway to nibbling and bingeing for me. When I put it to rest, I do better in all of my food choices, and in the timing of my foods. I eat better, and would probably be losing weight if I were not retaining water in my swollen leg where I had foot surgery. My weight is irratic right now because of it.

I agree with the other ladies dump the sugar and most white carby food. I am super sensitive to carbs, all it takes is to give in once and I'm rolling down that slippery slope again.
Carbs in veggies are fine but the processed stuff is what really gets me. I've read where lots of folks found the 5 day test to really help them get refocused so it can't hurt. Good luck to you!

I'm not a fan of the 5-day pouch test because after 5 days you can revert right back to where you were! I recently started going to OA (Overeaters Anonymous) to help me re-gain control over food and eating. My eating plan includes no sugar, no snacky foods (pretzels/popcorn/chips), no fast food, no second helpings. I have 24 days of abstinence, and it feels wonderful. It took me a long time of trying different things to finally admit complete defeat. I'm a huge supporter of 12-step programs. I thought GBS would "cure" my food addiction, but it did not.
