Emily, I am exactly the same. A little bit doesn't do it for me. When I want chocolate (or ice cream) I need to eat like 2 or 3 bars to satisfy (2/3 cups of ice cream)etc I knew it had to stop. I committed to NO SUGAR/No Carbs (only carbs were from green veggies) Over the last 8 years I have lost 70+ lbs. I lost 40, 8 yrs ago then 30+ 3 yrs ago. I am once again off the sugar to lost the last 20. The first few days were tough with headache/fogginess but after a week or so the cravings really do go away. I told myself, do it for 1 month and see how you feel. 27 lbs later….I kept it up. The only advice I have is JUST DO IT..you can do anything for 1 month. Hang it there and PM me if you need any help (PS my 1st diet bet too)
