Chris,

I know what you mean by the sugar addiction, before I started this WOL I ate cookies, candies and all kinds of bad stuff, and I realized that I had a carbohydrate addiction. The first 2 weeks were very hard for me, I still craved sweets especially because I couldn't have them, even though I was "supposed" to not have these cravings. After the induction, these cravings tapered off and I was able to live without sweet and not crave them *near* as much as I did before. Also- there's ALL kinds of low carb sweets that can be had. There's low carb peanut butter cups, chocolate bars, truffles, etc and they are REALLY good! Check and see if you can find a low carb store nearby, or you can order them online, trust me it helps IMMENSELY!

Hang in there, you can do it
