I have found that if you stay away from sugar, you will not gain your weight back.

Sugar is the enemy.

Sugar is the enemy.

I agree with you here. And, for me, it is my biggest problem and my downfall when I get cravings.

I haven't had pizza for a year, and the most surprising part, I haven't missed it. I have not missed the bread, or pasta (me, no pasta, unbelievable!); occasionally I have some rice. But, sweets --- man, I learned that I am genetically programmed in such a way that I simply cannot walk past a bowl of M&Ms. This has been the toughest part for me. That said, when I do eat this stuff, I feel crummy.

Sugar is the enemy.

On average, the typical American adult eats 150 lbs. of sugar per year. That's right, POUNDS. 1/2 lb. per DAY. 200 years ago, the average American ate 10 lbs. of sugar per year.

I think this might have something to do with the obesity problem in this country...

The best thing is not to keep any soda, candy, cookies, ice cream, etc. in the house, and we've been doing well! (We're going to cheat tomorrow at the Memorial Day Picnic.)
