Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

I have a bad habit, sugar.

It is the one bad habit I still struggle with and hard to quit.

I tried two summers ago to quit cold turkey and it was the worst experience I ever had.

The withdrawals were much worse than when I quit smoking cold turkey.

I had such a severe headache, it was hard to concentrate. It got so bad that my son ended up buying these fruit popsicles and told me to have a little sugar. The headache immediately stopped.

I was miserable but it helped me cut back on how much sugar I used. I also was able to get rid of white processed sugar and switch over to a turbinado

Now, I don’t use much sugar and use a substitute for my morning coffee.

I haven’t completely given it up.

I still like hard candies every once and a while and chocolate is still my favorite.

I learned through that experience that small changes and cutting down slowly is the best way.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a great week!

Suzanne
