My last dessert of 2017. Now, let’s get 2018 started, without sugar, forever. And this time, I mean it.
Ahhhh, Day 1. Crap. How will I not f*** this up this time? Well, first, in the words of my nutritionist Nancy Dale, “Fail to plan? Plan to fail.” Amen. So, my plan is a bit unorthodox, at least in the beginning. I want to reproduce the results from the documentary movie “Fat, Sick & […]
Day 0. The day when my plans to kick sugar to the curb – again – seem so attainable. This day has been coming. My last post was almost two years ago. Why? Well, there’s probably no secret there. When sugar addicts stop talking about their successes, there’s usually trouble on the ranch. (Or, there’s […]

In a recent post, I talked about my Mom, who lost a very short battle with pancreatic cancer five years ago. She was a special and unique woman. Cancer definitely took her too soon. I look back at my Mom and her life, particularly in years before she died, and sadly her demise seems eerily […]
The epiphanies keep coming. I was catching up with an old friend today and I was telling her about this blog and my efforts to escape my addiction to sugar once and for all.
