Conquering Sugar Addiction: Sugar, or My Life

To those looking for more inspiration for giving up sugar and conquering a sugar habit: you can hear me live on The Livin' La Vida Low Carb Show with Jimmy Moore here, where I talk about my free ebook, putting yourself first, and my sugar addiction: http://www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com/karly‐pitman‐wants‐you‐to‐take‐care‐of‐yourself‐first‐episode‐129/ http://www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com/karly‐pitman‐part‐2‐sugar‐withdrawal‐wont‐last‐be‐strong‐episode‐130/ Take good care, Karly

I wish I could say that since my last comment on this article, that I was able to stay off the wicked white stuff, but my addiction pulled me under once again. I just stumbled across this article again, and feel the same way I did before about it. Only now I am feeling inspired, even *excited* about going off sugar. I downloaded your ebook (THANK YOU for making it free, I get tired of pumping more and more money into my addiction with promises of recovery), so I am going to read it thoroughly and keep you in my mind when the Easter candy is in every nook and cranny of my mother's home. Right now, I don't feel deprived, but EMPOWERED, so THANK YOU! I never seemed to enter my sugar detox with the intention of quitting it for good, but this time I am going forward with the knowledge that it is definitely possible, and even highly desirable to quit! Thanks again! You are an inspiration.

To answer the question on what to eat: Here are the staples of my diet: lots and lots and lots of vegetables (mainly non-starchy veggies), lean meats (chicken, bison, turkey), nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds), legumes (black beans and lentils, for example), some dairy, and other healthy fats---olive oil, flaxseed oil, avocados. I don't eat a lot of grains, as these tend to make me overeat, and I react to flour the same way as I react to sugar, so I have to abstain. If you go to my blog, www.firstourselves.com, I've written an article on 10 steps to give up sugar, here: http://www.firstourselves.com/first_ourselves/2008/01/h...
