I agree – good job not being too hard on yourself! Quitting most addictive things takes at least a few "tries" and some setbacks.

You can do this, though!

Thanks Rhona! Years of beating myself up over various things has not done me any favours so now I think accepting my weakness and being honest about my situation with the knowledge that I'll probably have to recommit daily to staying away from sugar is the best way to deal.

I like your attitude of not beating yourself up and accepting your sugar addiction. Just like you said, you won't let sugar win.

I can relate as I love cake…like adore it. Eveytime I am in 2nd cup, I see the pretty lemon cake smiling at me and my mouth waters. I resist almost always but if I am on a "I can treat myself today" bout, I give in and get a delicious slice. Thank heavens I restrict my 2nd cup jaunts for once every other month or so. I thank my grandma for my sweet tooth. :)

Good luck with breaking the habit…I have a lot of them that are beyond difficult to get rid of.
