I started cutting out excess sugar about 5-6 years ago. Stopped eating the kids' cereals, stopped putting it in my coffee (back before I quit coffee), started reading labels. It's amazing how much added sugar there is in almost everything
 
I love the rectangular sugar cubes in Europe almost as much as I love our American little cubes of sweetness, but neither compare to the Mickey shaped ones at Disneyland.


:bawling:
Disneyland! I was a churro toffee!

A huge part of why I didn't want to go to college was just being contrary. Things worked out okay for me long term but in hindsight it was pretty disrespectful. My dad's family were all poor but they were all willing to chip in and help out, I basically spit in their faces. When I went a year later they were still willing to help out.

I shudder to think how disrespectful I was in so many ways.
I don't regret the decisions I've made, but some of the ways I made them when I was younger, I do regret.
I'm just grateful I had that realization in enough time to genuinely apologize to my mother before she died.
She gave me damn near every tool I would ever need, and the "permission" not to go the traditional route, and for a long time, I was an ungrateful little bitch. By the time I lost her, though, I had not only apologized, I had kind of made it right insofar as she was genuinely proud of me. Her best friend recently died, and one of the greatest gifts she ever gave me was in our last conversation, telling me how proud my mama would be of what I'd done since I'd lost her.

@huskers1217 - I'll say to you what I've said to others in the past. I've studied a lot about weight loss, thinking doing the opposite would help me gain and maintain weight. What I found most helpful was changing how much I ate at each meal. I'd read where one should eat the largest meal earliest in the day, then the next largest for lunch, then the smallest for dinner. I did the opposite, making sure I ate a ton of food right before bed. That's the main thing that helps me when I start dropping weight ... I recommit to the largest meal with the highest number of calories at the end of the day. So, I would guess, as helpful as "doing the opposite" has been for me, going the route of highest calories/largest meal earliest in the day may help for weight loss.

We add nothing. If you want it sweetened, you get the Crunch. But that counts as a dessert type serving for the day. We're all slim, narcissistic, cranky people in my house. :dhd:
 
Golden Grahams ftw!!!

I almost never have cereal, but once in a blue moon, I'll be walking down the cereal aisle, and it's as though the boxes of Golden Grahams start calling to me. Not wanting to hurt the feelings of inanimate objects, I buy a box. Then I end up with a stomach ache 'cause the eat almost the whole box in a matter of hours. :facepalm:

My kids currently have a box of Cap'n Crunch in the cupboard. I've only snuck one handful.

They were smaller than I remember
