I'm so pleased you'll be giving it a go and hope you'll keep me posted on your progress. I've also heard that it takes 30 days to make or break a habit and would say that my final days of sugar break supported this. But then I ate cake. And it returned! Really hoping we can break this. x Here goes indeed & big good luck to you Virginia! I’m so pleased you’ll be giving it a go and hope you’ll keep me posted on your progress.

I couldn't be happier that my own struggles helped you to do something about yours! It's funny how since writing the first post sugar has been in the press yet again. A standout snippet was the fact that cocaine addicted rats chose sugar of the drug when presented with both simultaneously. Basic, but it shows the fight we're up against! Add to it some female hormones, work stress etc. and you end up with some chocolate mad ladies! Thanks so much again for your support and hope over time we can all reduce our intake. x Hey Jane, thanks so much for your comment.

After reading your story and relating to everything you said (choc muffins in particular) I knew I had to join. I'm so glad we did it, I got to the end of my break and I can't say it's only been virtuous since. I have however learnt how to take control and do so by having the set breaks as you have also found.

Hope you're having a fab time in Italy, can not hide my jealousy, I'm positively drooling over the thought of all that food. It's my total favourite - mmmm! I completely agree it's SO tough! It seems I can stick to it when on complete ban, but turn into a sugary mischief when not. Arggh! The bracelet seems a very good idea, something to add to the new collection?! Think you should commend yourself for all those sugar free - and more recently completely clean and lean - days. Your bod must be very grateful! Definitely want to hear how you get on when you return, sure it will be much easier when in a more 'normal' routine. Thank you & well done! xx Buona sera Alexia!

You've been so supportive right from the start and I've been truly delighted with the way you've got involved. Love that you've been thinking about will power and motivation in the wider sense - I've done the same. It's completely shown me a number of areas that I really need to work on for the good of my health (and more). Thank you again so much and also wishing you lots of luck with your personal journey. You can do it! x x Hi Sabah, what an awesome comment to read, thank you! You’ve been so supportive right from the start and I’ve been truly delighted with the way you’ve got involved.

It's been very insightful and has really helped with working on my motivation and will power, not just in relation to desserts but in the greater sense. I gained a life lesson. I hope your journey goes well for you and you keep working and pushing towards your goal.

It is TOUGH!! And I know that because I fell off the wagon way before you did. Why don't we create a #sugarfree bracelet so that we actually have something to remind ourselves with....as 'forgetting' was actually my biggest problem...! In Italy sourcing fabrics/accessories at the moment, but back home I'm going to be going clean and lean again as I felt fantastic. Definitely sugarfree as much as possible too. Keep up the good work, you obviously inspired lots of us! xox Love hearing your journey through the highs and sugar (non-sugar should I say…) lows. It is TOUGH!!

Really good to hear from you and funny how many of us sugar addicts there are lurking around our local Waitrose! Really impressed with your super clean weekday diet/drinking habits. Def recommend trying a mini break to see how you feel cutting the treats for a weekend or two. Must confess I didn't do too well today - two cakes & a fun size Crunchie as a twisted 'reward' following my 6 day mini break... I can see it's not going to be straight forward, but I'm sure we'll all get there! x Hey Harps, welcome aboard!
