7 Days To Breaking Up With Sugar

"I was able to get rid of all refined sugar and artificial sweeteners"

Before this program, I wasn’t much aware of my craving for sugar. I didn’t have clear mindfulness about why I am eating some sugary stuff and sweeteners. I didn’t notice that sugar exist in so many items we eat.
 The program enables me to have an internal dialogue with the sugar devil. I was able to get rid of all refined sugar and artificial sweeteners. I was fighting the sugar devil in so many events. 
I could notice the emotion before eating sugar, and with eating the first bite and the second bite. I really felt that we eat much more than we really need and even if I love some sweet items I could only bite small piece and find that very enough. 
One day my wife made a cake and I decided strict decision that I would never try to eat anything of this cake I would never even touch it. 
The sugar devil came and said this is only an exception you can bite a very small piece even just one bite but I said no the cake remained with my wife three days and I was successful and didn’t even touch it. I was unable to totally get rid of fruits, but I was able to replace some fruits with nuts and sweet potato
