Thanks for the re-enforcement. People shove plates of sweets in front of me all the time and I have found that only one statement makes them understand:

"Would you offer an alcoholic a drink? I have the same obsession with sugar; I must stay "sugar" free to protect my health."

Only a person who has spent enough time to look inside themselves can recognize these obsessive and destructive behaviours.

Great posting and awsome thread. I use the techniques I learned in meditation to calm my mind and realize that as long as I eat a variety and keep it low in carbs, the easier it is to "fight/brush off" cravings.
