Plan hopping has been my biggest problem (bigger than chocolate!) I'll start a plan, get bored with it, or suddenly find it fatally flawed, and switch. I lose best on low carb, but can't stick to it. I'll switch to Weight Watchers or calorie counting, lose very slowly, and go back to low carb -- with several stops and hops in between. I've gained 5 pounds a year for the past 12 years doing this! This has become such a habit that I've begun to think that, now at least, I like the starting -- planning, doing something new -- but not the programs, and just maybe I want to restart so I can play the "I'll start again Monday" game.

adreamer, I hope you can find something you know you can stick to -- that's why I always end up at Weight Watchers. It really does allow anything, in moderation. I think that's the most important thing. Good luck!

I use to be a sugar junkie too! I still have times I struggle but I have done so much better for probably a couple of years.

I agree you have to find a new way of life. One that works for you but I will let you know what I have done.

First of all to get rid of the sugar craving I would put myself through a sugar detox. For about a week or two I would have no sugar. It was hard, I had headaches and less energy at first but in a few days I started feeling revived. In about a week the sugar cravings leave. Then I would slowly add a little sugar in. I have to becareful because I always have to control my sugar (no I'm not diabetic) but I have to becareful because I don't want the sugar cravings. I now allow myself a couple of treats a week and keep them under control.

The rest of my life plan is to keep up on my exercise and to eat healthy. I don't know that you need a diet plan. We all know what is healthy to eat!

I talked to my husband and we decided together to make a life change. It has changed my household so much and all for the better. My kids eat better and we all have so much more energy!

God will help you through. If you have any questions or just need someone to talk to I'm here!

Here's a plug for simplicity: The No S diet. Someone here posted about and it is now my plan, so I am paying it forward. You can find all you need to know on the website (or in my signature for that matter), but if you like books as I do, one is now available. Best Wishes!
