Actually it probably doesn't scare me as much as it should. I was just thinking about the statement I just made. I can acknowledge the facts, but I'm so passed getting all uppety about it. It's exhausting being afraid all the time. I'm tired.
 
I quit eating sugar, except fruit. No sweet drinks at all. I'm braving unsweet coffee with cream, which to my surprise, is not as icky as I feared. But still don't want much. I have always been a full blown sugar addict. Now nothing at all. I am going all of the way!!!

Quit a few weeks ago, and I have lost weight since that time. I eat plenty of healthy foods to keep me going, but my appetite has dwindled. I don't need so much now. The results are so good I won't be going back.

Proverbs 25:27 It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.
 
I love to cook and am trying to lose weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle overall so I have found that weight watchers works very well for me since it allows my freedom to cook. Following it is the trick LOL. I am having success but it is slow and steady. I am building a recipe binder of favorites to use as my go to for healthy dinner options. A recent "trick" for me is if I am hungry at night or craving something I make a cup of sugar free hot chocolate. The warmth and sweetness combined with chocolate seems to satisfy.
 
Finally found ths thread again..no stevia is a natural plant sweetener isnt it.
