I finally did it. Now, I didn't get completely off sugar. But I did make myself as of last Wednesday to not eat cake, ice cream, candy, soda pop, etc. I didn't cut out all the sugar on sauces and such. But I have been looking a little closer to the labels to make a better decision on whether to use it or how much to use.
The first few days were tough, and now it's quite easy. My husband had some M&M's the other day and I was having a rough day, so I asked for two. I ate them slowly and enjoyed them. And I was satisfied.
Then today, I tasted one bite of a cupcake and I was good. It's like eating a lot of sugar makes you want to eat a lot of sugar. Eating a lot less makes you feel satisfied when you only have a small amount.
And I'm down a pound. Hard to tell exactly because of water weight changes, but I think I've lost a pound or two.
I've also got my pedometer on me every day checking how many steps I've taken. I've averaged about 7000-8000 steps most days. My goal is to get it to 10,000 steps or more a day.
Between the less sugar and more moving, I think I may have finally gotten the start I wanted to losing weight.
Now if I can just keep it up and not have many setbacks.

I loved that you savored those two M&Ms. I've found myself doing the same thing with sweets now and I've been satisfied with as little as a lick of the spoon with ice cream. Keep it up and good luck!
