OK I've had too much diet coke and I'm a little jittery now...

Qualified: all bad (ie:processed) sugar. Unprocessed sugar is what makes us run; it's our fuel. But when the body has processing it's own fuel trouble ensues int the form of a fairly sure-fire, non-lofty way to quit sugar: Diabetes.
Hi. My name is Pete. I am a glucoholic. My favorite food group was
Then, my wife got diabetes. Well we're not sure when she got it for sure, but she was diagnosed with it. Anyway. I quit sugar. (until very recently) To help her quit. Now that her blood sugar is managed (insulin injections every morning), we have an occasional sweet, me moreso than she, but she isn't bothered by it anymore.
*looks around, get off pulpit*
Sorry.
WAY TO GO MAVS AND KEL!!

Yeah for me it'd be a diet thing. MisterG and I are both on a diet and in one month he lost 11 pounds and I lost 4...freakin 4 pounds! So very unfair. Then I saw how brave and strong Mav and Kelkhil and NV were being and I thought...I can do that. Sweets are my downfall ( well that and pizza) so I have already given up pizza and now I am giving up sweets.

Doesn't that stink?
Husband can give up sodas & hotdogs and loses 10 lbs. I give up the same and the scale doesn't change.

Thanks for the positives, msg. Like I said previously, I was in a physical place where quitting would be easy(er)...I didn't go cold turkey after smoking 2 packs a day.
What's getting me through the emotional is chocolate covered apricots (here DTH, DTH, DTH...)
and my Browncoat family.

OK I have a weird language oriented ponder...
the word commitment
If you had been sitting around with a group of friends and one casually suggests " We should get together. You could come over the next night to watch a ball game" and you say " sure that'd be fun " Would you say you'd made a commitment to be there??

Enough to the point that I'd tell the person if something else came up and I wasn't going to be able to make it. That or maybe I'd be waiting for them to send me an email or call me to tell me when to come over.

The key words for me in that conversation is "could" and the selection of a specific night.
If it was "You could come over some night..." and you say "sure, sounds fun" that isn't a committment. That's a promise of future committment.
If it was "You should come over on Tuesday night" and you say "sure, sounds fun" its a committment.
