Sugar is by far my biggest dieting downfall. I cannot lie about it. Once I start eating goodies with sugar in it, my body craves it and it takes me a long time sometimes to get completely off of it. There I said it! Now you know why I'm a baker and love to make goodies that mimic our old faves. I have a sweet tooth that demands to be satisfied. Sure I've gone for periods without anything sweet, but I was plain old miserable!! It is much better for me to have some legal treats around most of the time, so that I don't cave and have the real thing - even if it is simply plain yogurt sweetened with Splenda and some strawberries or blueberries. That usually does the trick if there is nothing else in the house. I will occasionally have some honey, but only occasionally.

Here is an
article about why we should forswear sugar written by
Mike O'Donnell, who is a fitness and health guru, with a simple message of how to lose weight through eating only 2 meals a day (that is his latest
e-book). Many, if not most of us, eat too much and too frequently. We live in a world of abundance. It takes restraint to reign ourselves in for the sake of our health and weight.
