Comments on: Day 3: The Early White Sugar Conspiracy! http://www.ayearwithoutcandy.com/?p=107 This American candy addict/journalist in France writes about quitting candy – and all desserts – for at least one year Sun, 15 Sep 2013 22:27:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: DK http://www.ayearwithoutcandy.com/?p=107&cpage=1#comment-13 DK Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:41:48 +0000 http://ayearwithoutcandy.com/?p=107#comment-13 Wow I love that Warhol comment, Jeannie! I read "Sugar Blues" ages ago for the first time but forgot that line. Thanks for joining the fight! Giving up white flour is no doubt a great idea and I can already see myself leaning toward it. But I'm trying to pace myself because sometimes I have a tendency to get all-enthusiastic and fired up (see also: candy addict traits) and then can lose interest and motivation just as quickly. So just not picking up a package of Haribo candies a few minutes ago when I ran out to get some eggs and milk is a triumph for today. Please keep me posted as to your progress!

I started yesterday and I'm heading toward forever. It just doesn't seem to be something I can control. So it is better to have none at all. I may have to include white flour (or what Connie Bennett (www.sugarshock.com) calls "quickie carbs." The line in "Sugar Blues" that resounded with me was a quote from Andy Warhol: "All I ever really want is sugar." I'm counting on you to keep the blog going! Don't let us down. I’m with you!
