Hi, my name is Eliza. I am 30 and a mother of two with one on the way.

I am fortunate not to have a weight problem and do maintain a generally good level of fitness however ever since I can remember I have been addicted to chocolate and basically anything sweet.

I would say I am a closet binge eater and therefore most people, my husband included, find it amusing that I am going on a special No Sugar diet. They don't see the problem.

I am very exited to have found David's book and read it in one day. All the information just makes sense and seems logical. I must say I have become quite angry and disappointed in our health bodies and food manufacturers. To think they put so much sugar in food that doesn't need it! And most disappointing is finding out the foods I feed my children have so many hidden sugars. I think it is a disgrace.

But now armed with the information and resources I am determined to kick my habit and ensure my two precious girls do not grow up a "sweet tooth" like their mum.

Looking forward to chatting to other people going through this great experience.

 

 

Welcome Elize

I thought I was the only closet chocoholic.  My husband found all my wrappers in the draw beside my bed and had no idea I ate so much chocolate.  As David says it is just like alcholic. 

Don't you just love the fact that the kids macca burgers have the most sugar.  If sugar is not an addiction why do it.  They have better scientists than our doctors.  Just show who pays who's bills.

Good luck with your journey.  After 6 months I don't eat chocolate any more and find it so easy to say no.  At a luncheon yesterday I was the only one of 70 peopole who did not have desert.  Try the patty cakes in the book for your girls.  My 23yo daughter made them and took them to a BBQ and no-one knew.

keep us posted.
