Just a spoon full of sugar

I LOVE sugar. I would have dessert for dinner every night if i could. In fact, sometimes knowing that I have a little treat at home becomes the highlight of my day and my meals just don't seem complete unless I finish them
off with some sugar.

Over the past few months I have tried to limit my ammount of sugar intake and have felt really good. However, this weekend we went to a dinner party and I made an Apple and Cinnamon cake plus Vanilla cupcakes and brought the left overs home. Since then I have had a slice of cake or cupcake every night! Even though I am eating it in moderation my body is craving the sugar like never before and only now am I realizing the effect it has on my body. I have this "junky" mentality that has kicked in " I want cake... I want cake".. you get the idea.


 I know this can't be good for me, and my husband is always telling me to stop so, I am finally taking the plunge and am giving up processed sugar  till at least the end of the school term. I know it won't be easy- today is only Day one and all I keep thinking about is cookies!

Anyone done this before? Do you have any tips on giving up the extra sugar? Want to join me?
