I have completed a goal! YAY! I've been off of sugar for a month. I've done this several times before and I LOVE it! If you've never done it before, try it. After about a week and half you don't crave sugar anymore and its a piece of cake.....er maybe a piece of fruit. ha ha.
I love the feeling of setting a goal and then following through.
