Sorry so late in responding.. No matter what, we just got to hang in there.. If it were easy, it would be .."easy" It is not easy.

Sugar is a very powerful addictive substance..In some ways, more powerful than the so called, "addictive stuff".. And sugar is ..of course..totally legal.. Someone can get addicted to sugar at age 5. Just give that kid enough candy or ice cream or sugared cereal, and watch the results. That child will not know what is going on, but will often when any kind of hunger hits, just ask for the .."sugared stuff" instead of other foods..
