Yeah it was really difficult, since I used to eat a chocolate bar for breakfast, and then several choc bars, bicuits, cakes, whatever, for supper... every single day! But I think it was when I became pregnant a few years ago I started cutting way back on treats, and eventually replaced all sugary treats with other things like homemade banana & date loaf or frozen natural yoghurt mixed with fruit... things like that. At least they satisfied my sweet cravings! And now I can't eat anything with processed sugar... it tastes too sweet... and synthetic somehow. A lot of people don't even realise sugar is super addictive, more so than tobacoo, and then more you eat the more you want, it's crazy stuff!!!
Your entry is fine, it doesn't matter it looks like @ikaputri3's because the recipes are totally different so it's not like you copied her! But if you do post another entry I'll surely enjoy looking... you are a wonderful cook and I'm glad you decided to join in the challenge lately!
Wow that's a serious sugar-kicking accomplishment! Congrats babe =DD
You're totally right on the big sugary abyss that almost everyone in the world slips down into..some realise how crazy addictive that substance is, but simply carry on eating it till there's a big reason to cut down (type 2 diabetes, pregnancy in your case, etc). I've yet to reach that point..will update you if and when I do! =D
