I am going to work on reducing the amount of refined sugars in my diet. It is not going to be easy because I use snacking on junk food as a coping mechanism at work. Ideally what I'd like to do is spend two weeks in a padded room at a rehab center, with someone controlling every bite of food that is given to me. After the first couple of weeks of screaming all night for candy and throwing myself against the wall, I can probably handle this dietary change.
Last year I ended my caffeine habit and it was very rough for a little while. I don't drink caffienated beverages anymore, not even iced tea. A diet Coke would give me a headache for the rest of the day.
If I die from not having my sugar fixes every day, it was a nice life and I'm glad you read my blog.
** End of first day: So far, no cravings. Yet. I haven't had any sweets today.

Really interested to see how this goes. If you can do it, I might seriously give this a try.

I'm not going 'cold turkey' - it is probably impossible anyway, unless I want to fail.
I am using sugar free gum as a crutch for a while.

Good luck. I have no caffeine days.
