It is even easier for me because I stopped thinking about sweets and
junk food as food. I no longer consider it food, forbidden treats etc.<<
I so agree with you! I haven't had a "real" cookie in 10 weeks, and you know what? I don't even miss it. I was a bonafide sugar-holic, I never thought I could live without it - well, I can (and 20+ pounds lighter). The sugar cravings are gone. Now I haven't been in a position to be offered a piece of wedding cake, but the one time I actually had some sugar (sort of accidently in my first week), I got lightheaded. It took me awhile to realize it was the sugar.
