I decided to give up sugar. I know, I know. What? Huh? Why?
It's mostly because I'm weird like that, but I guess it's also because I got tired of the need for it, the sneaking through the fridge when the kids' backs are turned, the anxious wait for the kids to be in bed so I can get out the ice cream, the climbing to whatever really high, out-of-the-way cupboard I tried to hide the candy from myself in over and over. Yep, I am a true addict.
The first couple of weeks were easy, my resolve was that strong. But lately, goodnight, lately. I see sugar-cube cars drive by, houses made of twinkies, people with ice cream cones for noses and chocolate fingers. All of the bags of candy at the grocery store seem over-sized. And the kicker, spouse-who-likes-him-a-good-bribe has been rewarding good children with cadbury mini-eggs...right under my nose...over and over and over and over again.
But I still haven't really, truly in my heart wanted to turn back to sugar. It's a February miracle. Sometimes a girl surprises herself.
Any bets on what will be the first thing that makes me go back?

For the first five months of pregnancy (for me) the sight, smell of anything sweet makes me want to hurl, which I've decided is a blessing and a curse. But, I'm just now getting to the point in my pregnancy where I can handle eating sweets again... and I've realized this is also the point when I start to really balloon. So, I think I need to jump on board with you and keep my distance from all that junk.
The first thing that makes you go back? I'd say ice cream on a hot, humid day when it just shouldn't be resisted. (At least that'd be my great downfall.)
Yeah, it's going to be ice cream. I just know it's going to be ice cream.
Sugar is pregnancy's best friend - it makes the journey so very much more enjoyable (:
