I think I've been struggling with it because my extended family pushes sugar especially at the holidays and birthdays (and as a result I am now overweight), and it's been part of my personality since young, someone who eats a lot of candy/cookies ... This year I will treat it as seriously as an alcoholic treats alcohol and just not have *any* sugar, even if pushed on me.
I appreciate that this site is free and has so much good information to share. I especially enjoyed going through the old journals, all the way back to 2010 to the present about a year ago. It was very interesting and I got some ideas about recipes and exercise. From one, I got the idea to get a rebounder and have loved it. My ankle has stopped hurting so I'll start up again. I'll check back again probably in a month.

I made it all the way to today with no sugar or bread since 9/10. I feel like even though I messed up, I will be ok getting back on track. It has been 3 days of houseguests, a wedding, and a big cheesecake in the fridge for no reason, plus avoiding cupcakes, then having leftover cupcakes brought to the house. I made it 2 1/2 days before snapping. The cupcakes followed me.
Since 9/10, I lost about 15 lbs. I'm 1 lb away from normal BMI, probably more lbs away now. I'm pretty happy making it to this weight and have been enjoying cooking, I even got my husband to eat some food.
