If that’s the case, or something like it, it might be worthwhile to help resolve that old out-of-control feeling — you may find that when you do that, your sugar cravings just *poof*! disappear.

It sounds to me like you haven’t made that choice yet. It sounds like there’s a secondary gain there for you — a benefit to eating candy that outweighs the benefits of not eating candy — that has prevented you, so far, from fully choosing this path. You might want to look boldly at yourself, and see what that benefit is — it might not be terribly comfortable to find out, but it will certainly be enlightening. The first benefit that occurs to me is Angst — there wouldn’t be very much drama in your blog if you were to just up and stop eating sugar, easily and effortlessly! So you might be faced with the question of whether the benefits of vitality, leanness, boundless energy, and fitting into your skinny jeans are worth giving up the drama. Or whatever your secondary gain is. You may find out that it’s not worth it! That would be worthwhile to know, one way or the other, wouldn’t you say? To avoid a whole year of struggling in vain trying to choose something you don’t really want to choose?

The good news is that there are ways to resolve that inner conflict and feel fabulous. The first step is determining the nature of that conflict. What’s the purpose of the part of you that doesn’t want to give up sugar? You might well ask.
