To think giving up sugar is so hard?!

This time last year I weighed 9 stone 10! I was 12 stone a week ago and have dropped half a stone in a week.

Nothing drastic, just no constant snacking and calorie counting my meals (I'm very short so my personal calorie deficit is around 1200 calories).

But I can't give up the sugar. I have DRASTICALLY reduced my intake but I can't see the day out without having something sweet to nibble on if I feel too dizzy. I can only describe it as a withdrawal process.

How hard is it to quit sugar cold turkey? I'm worried as I find it incredibly hard. I have a DC with additional needs and a lot going on so it seems all the more difficult to be in 'the zone' as the withdrawal seems greater.

Am I just being ridiculous? Envy

@Time2change2 I’ve read this thread with interest. May I ask what your weight/general body change was, in those 6ish weeks you mentioned? Apologies for the personal question so please feel free to ignore! Thanks
