You either dive right in or else your ankles start to ache and your turn back. Going extreme and cold-turkey is often all that works for me. Good luck, try checking out Dukan diet info online. Even if you just white-knuckled it for two weeks, it might give you the boost you need! D Hi Karyn — It’s like the ice-cold seawater I grew up near in Massachusetts.

I keep doing the "going off sugar and carbs slowly" thing, which causes me to go off slowly and then binge again. Maybe if I just went off like you're doing, I would see some benefits and be able to stay off. I'm impressed with your willpower - keep going! I really, really need to just jump in there with you.

I think the hardest part is just getting started, making it through that first day. And it is weird how the sugar cravings stop once you just eliminate sweet stuff from your diet. What is the "bi-polar diet" by the way? Good luck slimming down. I'm sure you can do it. Keep me posted as to your progress. xx dana Congratulations, Wendy!

Cravings have subsided and I NEVER would have believed it possible...my entire diet used to be all about sugar. I'm delighted that I've stuck to it. I'm 58 and do not want to be 200 lbs. anymore. I want to feel and look better not just on the outside but on the inside. Thanks for your inspiration. My friend Molly Cahill gave me your link....
