I need help! This is the second day I have been off FTS . I need to get myself  back on track.  I did succumb to the sweets. My sugar addiction is in full bloom

Hi, Faith!

During sugar detox, for some folks, the body will SCREAM for sugar and carbs.
This is normal... So don't beat yourself up.
Remember that we are fighting carb (sugar) addiction.
And like any other addiction, it can be very challenging.

When I started FTS I had a sweet tooth the size of Texas (especially at night)!
By replacing the sugary sweets with FTS-friendly ones, I was able to get by.

As time went along, I reduced my consumption of even "friendly" sweets because I knew they would effect my progress.

Just eat a couple sugar free candies, or other SF sweets when the "sweet monster" grabs you.
When you get past detox, those cravings will go way down. And you'll feel great!

You CAN do this!... And we're right here to help you.

Yes, you are right Umpa this is a lifestyle change Tony , what you said hit home.  I can't say today was any better however I really hate the way sugar makes me feel! I can't tolerate sugar and the more I realize this the better.  After eating sweets it feels like I have a bad flu. My sugar brain needs to shut the heck up  I am going to put my meals here for a couple of days so I feel accountable.
Peace
Faith

Getskinny, we are here! Don't give up! Just dust yourself off and get up again and keep walking to your goals. We all have experienced moments like that even now still so keep going.!

Hi 
Have been away since August and now it's October.  Yes starting again.  What the heck, why can't I give up the sugar. Why does this come back in my life over and over. Sugar affects me and my family's  life.
 in such a negative way
 I just watch a great documentary on CBC.CA/fifth estate, The Secret of Sugar.
WOW very thing that Doug's book teaches you about sugar is so true plus all the health issues that to much sugar causes.

I saw that too. I'm so glad you are back. There's no sugar in my house so it's easier that way. My daughter & I feel that  foods we used to love will make us sick now. I went off my low carb several times & went right back on and now 75 lighter. Was 207 in 2011, now 132. Lots of ups & downs but never giving up to be healthy.

Stay here and get on daily. We will support you all the way!

Thank Susie  I am glad to be back.  You are a inspiration to me 

[shawn116]

Hi Faith so glad to see you again   

Sugar is so addictive very much like a drug.  That is why we go through a detox period when starting the FTS lifestyle.  The more you have the more you want.     

As Susie said....we are here for you
