I've never really had much of a struggle with sugar itself, but more with carbs in general. Can't wait to see who wins this fun contest and gets a sneak peak at your ebook! Oh, I also follow you already! :-) Hoping I can win! I’ve never really had much of a struggle with sugar itself, but more with carbs in general.

I have yeast issues from the meds I'm on and the cravings are really bad!! That really shouldn't be an excuse. I need to grow in selfcontrol. 15 years ago I quit but somehow it gradually worked its way back in...pray for me that I have the willpower to quit again!! I’m addicted, I totally admit I need help!!

I can't remember not craving it. My favorite way to consume it was either in candy bars or in hot chocolate. I've since learned that the combo of sugar/chocolate is a sign of a (poor) way to self-medicate and manage your moods. We already only eat unrefined sugars, but I know it's still too much. Wheat flour/sucanat cookies are still cookies! And especially when I've had a long day and find myself wanting to whip up a batch of them. . . hmmm. . . So, what I'm doing to change my cravings is big: I'm going on the raw milk diet starting Saturday. I'm tired of my hormones being out of whack. I’ve always craved sugar.

(I have to puree it, freeze it and puree it again to minimize the strings) - so any time I can unstringy mango - well, it's just worth the try!

We mostly use pear or apple juice concentrate, some things take grape juice very well. But our all-time favorite? Banana bread with orange juice concentrate! YUM!!!!!
