Sugar IS nasty and eating it makes me crave more. I've blogged about my attempts to drop sugar in the last few weeks. I can see now how it negatively impacts me. It takes effort to not eat sugary stuff, but I want to be healthy more than I want sugar. I wish I had realized it when I was your age. I'm 35 years older than you and have been a sugarholic for all my life...."Hi, my name is Sally & I'm a sugarholic" Kick it out the door!
