I missed posting this on Jan. 26, 2026, my 9th Anniversary of giving up Sugar and have had none for 9 years.
photos above are from January 26, 2017- March 2018
Current Me 2025, well there is none. Below is last photo taken Feb 20, 2025
and this was one of only 2 taken since 2023, and both were early 2025. Our world turned upside down March 28th, 2025, when Bob stopped Walking.
I gave up processed sugar. and I lost 60 pounds the first year, and another 20 for a total of 80 lbs weight loss after I realized the only way to stop the yo you weight loss/gain was to
give up the thing I was addicted to. Sugar! I had/still have a life long addiction to processed sugar.
I am 9 years sober from that addiction
There are certain foods I cannot have in the house. Oreo's, soft chewy chocolate chip cookies, Doritos, chips, Frito's, Cheetos and ice cream. cakes, pies anything else with sugar is OK, and I will ignore them. The listed foods I avoid like the plague. Fat and Sugar and Salt.. No sugar and closely monitor the fat and salt.
I found a way to have Chocolate on rare occasions.
Melt a Bar of Bakers Dark Chocolate, in a 2 cup glass measuring cup in the microwave,
stir in 1 package of sweetener.
pour small circles of it on to a sheet of aluminum foil, freeze while flat, remove when frozen and place in a zip-lock bag.
Note: pure dark chocolate is OK for IBS, as is pure chocolate powder. Before IBS I added nuts, now I just make the chocolate.
I can eat pizza, about, once a month.. a burger once a month with chips or fries.
Proof of how crazy I have been, I ordered pizza at 10 am to be delivered at Noon that day, and my standing instructions are no contact delivery, leave on white bench on Porch.
I got the TEXT that said Your Driver Is Here and thought
OH NO....I forgot to prepare the bench. There was no where to sit it, I opened the door in my flannel gown, see the arm out the door? I opened the door and stuck my arm out and said through the crack, I forgot to clean off the bench, and he said no problem, but I have to take a photo to close out the app.
My Five Minutes of Fame, photo and a copy of the text proving he delivered it.
This will have to do as my current photo for 2026.

Congrats Sandra, you have done a great job with your weight loss. It is hard giving up the fat, sugar and salt. I would be upset to give up pizza, I love it. I think it is a good idea to treat yourself, once a month. That is a long time, lol. Happy February, take care. Have a great day and happy week ahead.
