[quote=Anonymous]It looks healthy to me.

When I'm trying to cut something out, it helps me if I just make a goal that requires me to cut that thing out. That way, I'm thinking of reaching that goal, vs thinking about the thing I can't have. I'll give an example. I gave been a bit too lax about drinking wine, and the new surgeon general debate about lowering the "safe" level to 2 glasses per week got me thinking. I like to have a glass or two with dinner. So instead of saying "I won't drink wine" I'm saying that I can't have more than 1400 calories per day.  Now.... realistically, that's what I normally eat anyway, minus the wine. But now that I have to stick to it, I either have to forego wine, or eat less.  And I'm not eating less.

So think about some goal that would make you forego sugar. Maybe you make yourself go for a walk in the evening so you aren't around to snack.  Or maybe you have to watch your macros, and the "cost" of sugar becomes too high.  Aim at what you want-- not what you don't want. [/quote]
