As the title says, i have fallen off the wagon recently, too much stress and i am back in the old ways and 4kg heavier then last year so need to sort myself out again.
I am starting officially on Tuesday( possibly tomorrow) going to see a friend tomorrow and hoping she won't offer me anything sweet.
I love chocolate and thats my only downfall so mostly that is what i want to start reducing again.
Anyone willing to join?

Well done everyone and welcome newcomers. I've had a good day today, no sugar...yay! The night is young though...I might have to go to bed to resist the biscuits calling me.

Day 2 all done for me today. A busy day so very distracted from snacks. Also started taking glucommanan to see if this helps me with cravings.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Are people just going cold turkey or are you swapping to non sugar options? If swapping could you share what they are please?

im desperate for ideas.

I’ve been swapping for fruit or nuts.

Well i didn't have a good day yesterday 😕i had some dark chocolate ( leftover 70% lindor balls from Christmas), i know it is not the end of the world, but i am so annoyed with myself. Luckily there are no more left.
I have made some greek yoghurt , chia seeds and cocoa power 'puddings ' for the weekend so i have something in case i am thinking about having any chocolate.

Day 3 for me. Going strong so far.
I have been cold turkey ATM but I am not opposed to sugar free options especially on the rough days!! I think important for me to cut out the obvious rubbish first then maybe work on being as healthy as possible.
@quittingsugar2026lindor would make me cave too! At least it was dark chocolate and has some value 🤩

Day 4. Visiting a garden centre in a bit and usually stop at the cafe. Would normally go for a lovely big slice of homemade cake with coffee so this is going to be a test for sure! How is everyone else getting on?

sweetietooth · 25/01/2026 11:04

Is anyone still joining in 🤩
Day 5 for me althoughhhh technically yesterday wasn't sugar free. DH ordered me a biscoff latte at the counter (I was at the table with kids) instead of a normal latte. So I did have sugar within the drink, it was delicious! But then straight back onto the plan.
Hope everyone is still doing ok or if not joining me back on the wagon 😃

Well done sweetie. I was doing good. Fell off the wagon yesterday, had chocolate but I can't undo that and I'm back on it today 🫣

sweetietooth · 25/01/2026 17:45

We can do this @SDmdzMn

quittingsugar2026 · 29/01/2026 06:56

Morning, how is everyone doing so far? It has been over a week and i have kept on going apart of have a couple of squares of dark chocolate 85% but not the whole bar in two days ( or one day) which i used to do. Still having an apple or an orange a day ,but no other sweet things.

The next few days will be hard as my period is approaching and that is when i am us5out of control.

I’ll join please, sort of started yesterday. No sweet treats.

sweetietooth · 31/01/2026 17:08

@quittingsugar2026I have failed massively and fallen off the wagon. Prompted by an absolutely stinking cold and feeling super sorry for myself 🙃 starting again tomorrow and aiming for whole of February sugar free. Visiting the farm shop tomorrow AM to stock up on fruit and veg for the week.

SDmdzMn · 04/02/2026 19:06

Oh I fell off the wagon again last week because of my period too. Back on it now but it's so hard . I am chewing sugar free gum furiously! I haven't weighed myself but don't feel any bigger or smaller. Well done everyone even attempting this sugar free malarkey.
