Thanks and good job not eating junk food! I was eating so much sugar and was completely addicted to it. I ate so much sugar on Jan 1, 2016 that I felt like total crap on Jan 2nd and decided to eliminate all desserts, breakfast pastries, candy and ice cream and have never looked back. I simply could not do it with moderation and for me it was all or nothing.

However, I do eat things with sugar in it and I drink alcohol but if it fits into any of those 4 categories I don't eat it whether it has sugar or not. For instance, I wouldn't eat SUGAR FREE candy or chocolate but I would eat Fluff, lol! Fluff is not a dessert, a breakfast pastry, ice cream or candy so it falls out of those groups and is technically OK per my rules. I only had it last May when I was prepping for a colonoscopy and could only eat very bland things. Another thing that is technically OK to eat is pita chips with cinnamon and sugar, and I only had them once when I was at a salad place that gave them out instead of giving a roll. I know, these are weird rules, but I lost 18 pounds last year with no effort just by following my little food plan.
