Day 1 without recreational sugar. Ask me anything!

[pagerbear]

[Habibi]

1. Using any substitutes?

Or denouncing the whole shebang?

[pagerbear]

3. Well...

I don't use sugar in coffee or tea, and I already drink diet soda (yes, another bad habit I need to give up), so it's really a matter of giving up sugary junk food.

[HFishbine]

2. Are you restricted to only

medicinal sugar? Do you have a prescription?

[pagerbear]

4. I think....

sugar happens. It just does. What I really mean is sugary junk food.

[BigMcLargehuge]

5. what the hell is "recreational sugar"?

sugar that plays volleyball or something?

[pagerbear]

7. Sugar for the fun of it.

Sugar junk food like cookies and candy. I'm an addict.

[BigMcLargehuge]

11. OH... LOL

I just couldn't make that mental model.

When I gave up coca cola nearly a year ago it was easier than I thought. I don't tend to eat much candy either. drinking lots of juice seemed to slake my thirst for the sweet stuff, and carbonated water for the prickly texture of coke.

Good luck with your sugar fast :)

[waterman]

14. As opposed to the lesser know but far more potent industrial sugar

[Eumenides]

6. For the love of God

NOT THE OREOS!:silly:

[pagerbear]

Yes, even the Oreos

Im incapable of having just one. Unless there's only one to be had.

[Armand]

8. How'd you do it?

I tried to give up sugar...I cracked down the same day I gave it up.

Tips?

[pagerbear]

9. Keep trying.

[denverbill]

10. Looks like you picked the wrong day to give up recreational sugar. nt

[FunBobbyMucha]

12. Did it myself nine days ago, so my question is

Isn't the sensation of ants crawling all over your flesh interesting? And how's about the migraine-with-a-vengeance headaches? Aces, huh? I think the hallucinations where my dead mother tells me I shame her, though, are my favorite side effect.

Hang in there, it'll subside by Friday.

[pagerbear]

15. Well, my living mother

...already tells me I shame her, so what's the difference?

[commander bunnypants]

13. I have not had recreational sugar in 20 years

It is not hard.

Go for it!!!

16. Congrats!

I want to be like you when I grow up!

[VOX]

17. You haven't gotten the shakes, have you?

When some people cold-turkey sugar, they get a bit woozy and jittery.

Anything like this going on?

Good for you, pagerbear -- :toast: (sugar-free, of course)

[pagerbear]

20. Nope, neither chocolate nor vanilla

[curlyred]

18. try some Splenda

it's methadone for sugar addicts. :)

[pagerbear]

21. Smoked, snorted or injected?

[curlyred]

23. I usually ingest mine

although it stands up to heat quite well, and thus could be cooked in a spoon prior to injection. :)

[catzies]

19. Is this a Lenten or a dietary mission you're on?

That is, are you back on sugar in 39 days, or is this a permanent change in your life?

Best of luck. The sugar monkey is a mutha.

[pagerbear]

22. I wouldn't call myself devout

....although I used to be a big ol' church queen. It's more a change I need to make and I'm using Lent as an reason to do it. Not to mention making myself accountable to all of you fine people!

[LynneSin]

24. I'm a sugar addict too - you need a hug

:hug:

[LincolnMcGrath]

25. I'm heading to Krispy Kreme, need me to eat one for you?

[pagerbear]

26. I WANT COOKIES, DAMMIT!

[pagerbear]

27. Day 2 without recreational sugar. Ask me anything!

Day 1 was an astounding success! I've lost 30 lbs., my teeth are whiter, women find me more attractive (what a shame I'm attracted to men!), my job performance has improved, I have a positive cash flow of $8,000/mo., and no more ring around the collar! All with no money down!

[bearfan454]

28. Bite the bullet pagerbear !

I lost 80 lbs on NO sugar. It was extremely hard but you CAN do it. PM me for some of the tricks I used..............Stevo
